I had placed an order from Hammelman's last week for some Sweet Annie and some Lavender and today it arrived.
I could smell the aroma before I even got the box opened - oh my I didn't know how beautiful the Lavender was going to be. It said they came in 3 oz. packages so I ordered 15 of them...I didn't expect the stems to be as long as they are or the length of the flower part....they're just beautiful. They are approx. 20 inches tall.
I would have opened one up to take a picture but they are packaged so nice I didn't want to disturb them.
Oh and the Sweet Annie...this is my second shipment of that - I bought some in October for some projects and still have several pkgs. left. And they come in 4 oz. packages.
I probably will sell them at my home show all tied up with homespun and or some other decorative pretty.
Just thought I'd share this with you along with the post below with the winner of my Give A-way....
Still sewing on orders - hoping to get them all finished in at least a week so I can get back to a normal pace....this was a phenomenal go-round!!!
Hugs, Karen
Oh Karen, I just love the Sweet Annie and lavender. I'll bet those go fast! I want to get some to see in the shop too, there is nothing quite like Sweet Annie is there? Hope you get your stitching done soon and can get some rest. Dawn
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I can almost smell the lavender and sweet annie. Don't you just love them! Good luck on your orders and hope you get a moment to rest soon. Have a Great day!

I love the smell of lavender. I don't really know what sweet annie is. You need to do a give away with that lavender and then I would hope I would win. Ha!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Kathy! I love sweet annie and lavender too. My mom always had lavendar sachets in her drawers with her 'delicates". I love pinching a bit of sweet annie as I pass by mine hanging from my beam.
ReplyDeleteHoping for some down time for you soon!
hugs, Linda
Karen,
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell them from here, LOL. I have sweet annie in every room and I do like Linda ~ I pinch it to get that scent. I love lavender too, this year I'm attempting to grow some. Good luck on your orders, my friend and have a great weekend.

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI love lavender and I wish I could love Sweet Annie, but it makes my eyes water and my throat sore. The bigger the bunch...the worse I become. Makes me sad because I love the look of it.
Hope your stitching orders are done soon..so things can get to a better pace for you.
hugs, Cindy
I could almost smell the sweet annie just reading your post. MMMmmmmmm

It's nice to get something in the mail especially if it smells good. I'm waiting on a candle order right now and I can hardly wait. Have a great weekend and rest up a bit!
