on the week that Mr D heads to his annual cast and blast,
i harvest the bay leaves to dry on the farm table.
it's also time to make new lavender sachets.
each holds two heaping (Grandmother Elizabeth) tablespoons
of Maria's amazing lavender. i keep the leaves and lavender in
canning jars to give as small gift sentiments throughout the year.
we're living the prettiest Autumn
ever here on 34th street.
although it's not perfectly set,
the farm table holds my
favorite October tablescape.

I just know those sachets smell lovely! They sound like they are fun to make, too! Precious gifts!

Love the chandy...I can see part of it. I am crazy for lavender, but I do not have a clue as to how to make sachets . I am thinking of trying to grow herbs next year. Smiles, Susie
