Simple Lavender Sachets

I DO LOVE LAVENDER
Always have…….
Once or twice a year I make lavender sachets and stash them everywhere.
 I always make enough for friends and family too.
So simple to make.
 
 I need to remember to put a few of these in the car.
 The fabric is all reclaimed cottons.
Stamped a little bird on some of them.

I buy my lavender for making sachets at www.atlanticspice.com
I do grow some of my own too, but none of my plants made it through last winter, so I had to start over again this year.
Simple handmade joy!
Thanks for looking!

A Simple Slice

Anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows that I'm all about repurposing everything.
I'd rather shop in a thrift store than a dept. store and flea markets are my favorite thing to do on the weekends. Then there's the occasional yard or garage sale and that's where I found the tree branch slices. A shoe box full of already drilled, simple, rough cut, tree branch slices.
Now, I think most folks would walk on by a box filled with rough old tree slices, but I saw potential in this box of simple slices.
 A little sanding, a rubber stamp, some modpodge, and a bit of leather cord.
I think these will be nice for tying onto packages for my outdoorsy friends and family.
Stay tuned for more crafty goodness in tomorrow's blog post.
