Gardeny Goodness and Lavender Loveliness

I was in charge of decorating a table at our Ladies Day at church
this past Saturday.

It was a garden themed day

so~

I grabbed a tree branch from the yard...
and cutesified it.

I also used lots of wonderful lavender.

It is beautiful ~
and smells so lovely.

And then....
when the day is over~

I get to bring the goodies home and find places for them in my home.

I like that part.

You can never go wrong with lavender.
Put it anywhere.

Put it everywhere.

It will make your heart sing.
:)
