I'm thankful for it everyday.  

Taking our natural lavender laundry and cleaning products,

 and my repurposed assemblage jewelry,

to markets and shows is something that still seems like a dream.

(a dream where I work very hard... but a dream nonetheless.) 

If you have followed me up to this point, 

THANK YOU!

I know that I have come and gone, and come and gone again,

so I appreciate each and every one of you that still stop by 

when you see me come up in your sidebar. 

...and if you have followed for awhile, then you know that I have loved reclaiming 

forgotten treasures for forever. 

 I get caught up in the process of turning a phrase into a wearable reminder.

Repurposing the forgotten little pieces of someone's long ago story

into jewelry for someones new story...

 something as simple as a beloved dog's tag,

a reclaimed memory of someone's best friend...

into a necklace for a special dog lover.

Each small piece of our history inspires me 

to create a sparkly something special for you to wear.

I draw inspiration from the rusty, crusty, sparkly, shiny, 

 the natural, earth formed gems, and our past.

...and then there's this -

our incredibly fresh scented, hard working

natural lavender goodness.

like I said in the beginning...

what I've been up to...

my house smells heavenly right now...

I have been making lavender sachets for a couple of the local

farmers markets and for another sale at The Garden Gallery!

all hand stamped with some of my favorite stamps,double stitched

 and full of fragrant organic lavender.

heavenly I tell you.

I sell them in sets of 3 or singles.

You toss them in your dryer for a wonderful light lavender scent on your clothes,

or slip one under your pillow for a restful nights sleep.

heavenly.

Hannah and I went to our first market last week,

and while I was busy chatting with all of the vendors and regulars,

catching up on the latest happenings with their families and such,

Hannah sold every bag of soap that we brought!

2 1/2 hours before the markets closing time!

So we decided to add the sachets this week...

gotta keep her on her toes!

Way to go BOO!

(she is an awesome salesgirl with a big smile and

knowledge of the product... it was so cool to watch her work!)

Want some for your home and clothes?

I'm adding them to The Old White House today!

That's what I've been up to...

how about you?

love,

Theresa
