I've been working on some new items for the Lavender Sachet Salon to be held at my house on Tuesday, Nov 29th. It's a drop-in, open house where people can browse and buy items. Everything I sew is filled with sweet, fragrant lavender.
Customers are great at suggesting new items. That's where the idea for coffee cozy pads came from. Putting a hot cup on the pad releases a scent of lavender. Another customer came up with the idea for bookmarks. I've been using one at my bedside for years now but it didn't occur to me to make them for others until she suggested it. The photo doesn't do them justice. I used a beautiful white brocade for some. And a cream colored satin for the others.
I'm excited about Tuesday's event ... it's fun to see the folks that come. Refreshments and time to chat -- real nice. 11/27/11

Lavender Sachet Salon at Angie's-Fun!

I had a great time last night.  Angie graciously offered her home for me to display and sell my recent lavender-filled products. She invited her friends and we served refreshments. I had baked cookies and brought some hot chocolate.  She made coffee and snacks and, as usual did a fantastic job. Her kitchen table looked so nice, loaded with goodies.  I had told her that she didn't need to make anything special, but she did anyway.  Like me, Ang loves to have friends over to her house - for any reason - and she always wants them to feel comfortable and have a good time. I was able to see some of her old friends that I know and to meet some new ones.  Everyone seemed to have a good time, chatting, laughing , browsing and buying (women are so good at multi-tasking).

Some people who were unable to attend last night want to see my products. Since I am unable to get new photos onto a separate page, I'll put them here in the body of this text. Contact Angie or me (970-314-7613) if you see something you like.  I will be having a Lavender Sachet Salon at my house on Tuesday, Nov 29.  Drop in anytime between 4 and 7 pm.  For more info, contact me.    (See Photos Below)

And covers can be hand washed separately. The same goes for the large Back Neck Wraps which are 14" long from neck to cover shoulder blades.  Pillow Case Liners ($12 & $13)  are satin or suede on one side and have 12 or 16 organza pockets filled with lavender buds. Slip one between the pillow and the case for aromatic sleep.

Of course, everything is filled with sweet, fragrant lavender buds -- otherwise, what's the point?  Enjoy.

I'm excited about the upcoming holiday fairs.  I'll be showing my
wares at several show around town.  The sewing is fun but I got a
 little behind this year because I had more harvesting, cleaning, etc
that I expected.  Take a look at the "Eye/Neck" Page for more. 11/3/11
