Lavender Flat Bread



Lavender Flat Bread

1 frozen bread loaf
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup chopped black olives
1 Tbsp. lavender blossoms
1/2 Tbsp. rosemary
sprinkle of salt

Use a frozen bread loaf that has been thawed according to package directions. When it has risen, roll into a rectangle so that it fits a greased 10x15-inch pan. Press the surface over the entire surface, using fingertips so that indentations are created. Brush the top with olive oil. Sprinkle surface with black olives, lavender blossoms, rosemary and a light sprinkling of salt. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes. Remove when done; should be puffed and light golden brown.


A Lavender Shop


A shop, purely dedicated to lavender. I can't get much better than that! Lavender teas, sugars, chocolates, toiletries, art, note cards, fire bundles, floral displays, wreathes, linens, tea sets, and the list goes on. The fragrance was absolutely beautiful. . .a place of relaxation and beauty.

Lavender, the Fragrance


Lavender wands are created so that the lavender bud is enclosed inside the wand, protecting it from breakage. Pretty ribbon is woven around the stalks, creating a little basket with the lavender bud inside. Used for decorating a dresser or armoir, the are also used to scent linen closets and drawers. Lavender bottles are a similar product, but instead of weaving ribbon around the entire bulb portion of the wand, they are only tied with ribbon at the top and then wrapped at the base and stems. The basket is open and more fragrance can escape the wand. Lavender bottles are usually used for linen drawers. One time a friend came to visit, bringing a 100 stem lavender wand that she had just made. It was very large and beautiful. What a lot of work and time it took to create!
