The sweet smell of lavender ~

I'm feeling so much better and actually finished a project I was working on. These are little lavender sachets I started making a few days ago.
I've grouped them in sets of threes and put them in my
Feathered Nest Shoppe for purchase.

I don't know why in the world I made these except that I ran across the fabric squares the other day and wanted to play with them!
They measure about 3 1/4" square, are filled with fragrant lavender buds and accented with vintage buttons.
It always feels so good when I make something!!




This is my 999th post!!!! I can't EVEN believe that.....
I guess I love blogging :)!

Wishing you an amazing Thursday sweet friends,
xxoo, Dawn

Hello Dearest Dawn,
Congratulations 999 that's fantastic. Roll on tomorrow. I know I don't always post, but I do try to call in to your lovely blog most days and if not, then I catch up at the end of the week (like today). It's always such a treat to see your delightful photos of your treasures (including baby Clara), your wonderful creations and to read your inspring words. You are such a kind sweet soul to share all of these with us. I still feel thrilled and so lucky to have found your blog and the even more so that I have found such a very special friend over on the other side of the world from me.
Warmest best wishes to you.
Suey
