Lavender

How much is a kilo of lavender?  Seemed a good price online at Yorkshire Lavender so I ordered some.  Now I have a huge bag of it and the smell pervades the house!  Okay if you like lavender.  The Romans brought it to Britain and used it for washing.  Herb sachets, which used to be thought of as something your great aunt had, are fashionable again.  Hung among your clothes in the wardrobe or in drawers, lavender helps repel moths.  It helps repel flies elsewhere and placed under your pillow may help you sleep.  It is said that lavender in the double bed will ensure that a couple will never quarrel!  I am looking forward to making pretty sachets for drawers, to hang and to slip under pillows.

Is that a song title?  If not it should be.
It was a learning curve.  The Cube is not central and I was on the third floor, almost the last stall (number 26 of 28).  Great view from up there but not enough people.  Also a room with two or three craft stalls in it is daunting for the customer especially if there are not many people.  However, I did sell some stuff and did better than some.
I made a note of comments on my memo boards.
"Really want one of those but I don't have a spare wall!"
" Cannot buy anything.  I am emigrating soon."
"Haven't got a wall."
I met interesting people, came back full of ideas, and resolved not to sew for a few days!
