Dried French Lavender

Lavender has a relaxing and soothing effect, and dried, it can be used anywhere. These lavender buds can be crushed to release even more fragrance. According to Culpeper's "The Complete Herbal," lavender was beneficial to those suffering from "griefs and pains of the head and brain." We use these lavender flowers in assemblage, encasing in tiny bottles with vintage text, in beeswax collage and sometimes place a little in a vellum envelope, tucking into a book or special card. Charming! You'll receive about an ounce (weighs very little, so more than you'd think); also included is a recipe for lavender cookies using dried lavender.
