| It is so humid here, I have not tried lavender but will do so in the future just to have lavender in my house! I love that fragrance. |

| Try using lavender essential oil.. A friend & I order oils from Lorann, [HYPERLINK@www.lorannoils.com] but you can find lavender oil a lot of places. I like to use the real thing, not "fragrance" or an artificial one. You can use almost anything that's a little porous as a diffuser... a clay pot saucer, a pine cone, a piece of driftwood, even just a cotton ball tucked away on a shelf.. and just a drop or two will scent the room. :-) |

| Yum! I used to spend a lot on lavender scented candles, bath bubbles, room fragrances, etc... then I figured out how far I could stretch a $3 bottle of essential oil, 1 drop at a time. Of course, it's not quite the same as having the actual soap or the dried flowers, but for times when all you're really after is the scent... :-) |

| I am known as a product junkie. My oldest daughter was here and really laughed at me. Every room in the house has something like the essential oil that I burn over heat. |

| I can't wait to try it, although my lavender is about the size of a bowling ball right now...(and no flowers) so unless I find some elsewhere wait is what I'll do. *S* |

| It'll grow, dovey! :-)
For anybody traveling through DC, I seem to remember huge plantings of lavender in the Dulles airport parking lots... surely they'd never miss 7 stems... but don't tell them I sent you, LOL. |

well it's a long way to go for 7 stems, but I've always wanted to visit the capitol |
