Today I am sharing my love for the smell of 'lavender'. I adore it. It transports me to a beautiful place. I also love looking at it in gardens, love laender candles and aromatherapy melts, love stitching it, love having creamy lotions, love recieving beautiful cards featuring lavender, love having a cup of tea and a bikkie out of my beautiful lavender mug.....I even have a very BAD hat and lovely socks. I bought these when we visited "Bridestowe' lavender farm in Tasmania a few years back. I just get the 'look' when I put my cute little hat on. I know I have posted about that place before....but I was truly in heaven! The smell was devine! Another four weeks later and we would have missed it as it would have been harvested.
So my Treasure this Tuesday is the humble but magnificent "Lavender" plant.

What a brilliant treasure you have chosen this week. I adore lavender too. Even the foliage smells beautiful if you brush against it. Your lavender jug stitchery is delightful. Thanks for playing along this week.

ReplyDeleteLovely stitchery Michelle. There is lots to love about lavender. Have you been to the lavender farm at Mt Alford. They have a lovely restaurant and a vineyard as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful treasure.
ReplyDeleteYou know I have never really given it a lot of thought but I love lavender as well. I always comment on how gorgeous it smells and if I think about it more, I too have a lot of candles and oils and lotions.
A friend of mine used to own a lavender farm and she would make lavender shortbread - oh what fabulous memories. Thank you :-)
I love Lavender too and would have it all over my garden if it wasn't for the fact it attracts bees.It's such a calming scent.
ReplyDeleteYour lavender stitchery is gorgeous!
I am so with you Michelle, there is something special about lavender..xx
ReplyDeleteSmiling at you Michelle! I can't imagine any one not loving lavender, even the word sounds quaint & pretty. I will have to put that lavender farm on my to visit list & try & go at the right time of year. Tracee xx

ReplyDeleteI love Lavender to, I think we all have a bush in our gardens. Your treasures are lovely, I especially loved your stitched cushion.
ReplyDeleteI share your love of all things lavender too Michelle. Have you been to the Lavender shop up on Tamborine Mtn?... I love it there and always walk out with at least one packet of lavender lollies. In Melbourne we had Lavender tea and lavender scones...mmmm.... delicious. The smell always transports me to somewhere beautiful as well. Great photos xx
