When the pattern says to sew a square of gauze for your dried lavender, there's no need to pull out the sewing machine...you can use Large Press & Brew Bags instead!

When we run out of our culinary lavender, that's where we go!
 
And when you put your own creative touch on crafts and gifts, why not make them VERY personal!? I just found a place where you really save on labels!

Lavender Milk Bath Sachet

Place 1 rounded tablespoon each of dried lavender buds, instant powdered whole milk and oatmeal in a 4" x 5" press & brew tea bag. Seal the open edge with an iron. Place sachet under warm running water for a skin-soothing, mind-calming spa bath.

Visit Mountain Rose Herbs for the "Press & Brew" tea bags.

A truly wonderful general household cleaner can be made by filling jars to about one-quarter full of lavender foliage (fresh or dried), then topping up with warmed white vinegar. Place lids on jars and leave in a warm spot on the windowsill for about two weeks (or longer if time allows), shaking daily, then decant into spray containers, by which time you have a lovely perfumed and effective product. Use to clean kitchen benches (repels and also kills ants), windows etc. It is also good to spray into the air around BBQs to repel flies and mozzies, but take notice of which way the wind is blowing as it will sting your eyes for an instant.
