Blessing SachetsA friend has a large piece of land that has been in her family for generations. The ancestor that purchased the land originally put in writing that he never wanted the land to be sold. So she has honored his request. She leased the land to raise lavender. Because she loves the Lord and loves her family history she decided to have a "blessing of the lavender field." 30 to 40 people came and listened to a bit of interesting history about her Dutch ancestors and looked at old photos that were on display. A Lutheran priest blessed the fields and we all had coffee and cake. It was great. The picture is of some of the little lavender sachets I made for her to give to her guests and mementoes. They were 2"x2" with a little ribbon for hanging. Half of the lavender in that batch came from her fields.
