Lavender Loveheart Brooches

Maybe you've seen the making of these little hearts in a previous post, maybe not.
This is the finished product, modelled and shot and in the shop!




Silky to the touch, sweet-smelling, girlie, lavender-filled lovehearts that you can carry with you all day long, pinned to your top, jacket or even your bag .




The colours: dusty rose pink, bright red, mellow burgundy, rusty orange and caramel brown.




I'm a big fan of lavender as well as lavender sachets.
 I think I was hooked when reading about  the long list of healing and therapeutic properties of the herb.




I've been meaning to make a special post about it for some time -and one of these days I will...




Until then, here's the skinny:
Lavender is well known for it's calming, soothing properties but it's actualy also a tonic and a stimulant and is used against exhaustion .




Anti-stress and anti-depressant, it relieves anxiety and can even help balance mood swings.




There's so many uses that the list seems endless......
......I'll have to make that post soon.

Lavender Lovehearts

Lavender sachets are definately a big thing around here.



Not only do you get that fabulous lavender smell but you also get moth protection and the oportunity to play around with fabric, colours and shapes.....



These were from a big batch I'd started months ago but never got finished.



I love the heart shape


and the material is a very particular fabric of purple with an arabesque gold design going through it.



I fill it up with the freshest lavender I can find and then I add all sorts of other aromatic spices with properties that make you feel good and protect your clothes at the same time.



I promise to make a post with the lavender mix recipe soon.




I usualy tie a stick of cinamon under the bow but I was fresh out....
