Lavender Blue

Originally published May 16, 2010

************

I'm joining Chari for her weekly meme Sunday Favorites over at Happy To Design with this post from this week last year. The lavender is blooming again right on schedule, as are the Lady Banks roses.

Here are some pictures of my "lavender blue" taken in my garden.

Pruning lavender hard helps promote new growth and rebloom, so I took my

clippers and did a job on a few of the many lavender plants that line the driveway.

Lavender makes wonderful sachet and helps ward off scorpions! I also hang bundles in the laundry room and in the closets. There is something so special about the memories that flood over me when I open a drawer with lavender sachet. It always speaks very softly and says, "Grandma's house."

I brought in a couple of bundles to check, not ready yet for making sachet, but soon!

Thanks for coming by to visit.

Here's Lookin' At You George!

Did you know that there is no "official" holiday called Presidents' Day?

Presidents Day (or Presidents' Day) is the common name for the federal holiday officially designated as Washington's Birthday. As the first federal holiday to honor an American citizen, the holiday was celebrated on Washington's actual birthday in 1796 (the last full year of his presidency) on February 22. While the holiday is still officially known as Washington's Birthday, it has become popularly known as "President's Day", honoring both Washington and Lincoln, as well as all the other men who have served as president.

Contemporary fabric tablecloth with vintage napkins, Post 86 Fiesta in Sapphire, White, Scarlet and Sunflower. The George Washington toby type mugs are from the 1939 World's Fair. Vintage Cobalt butterdish and covered individual casserole also by Homer Laughlin.
