I never knew people actually made essential oil blends, I might have to try something myself! <br />I totally agree with thinking about gifts all year long, I try to write it as soon as I remember so I don't forget, sometimes during a conversation with the person an idea comes up but after months it will slip by :)Catherinehttp://randomcath.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-39891676648995402742018-04-10T10:17:32.400+10:002018-04-10T10:17:32.400+10:00Dear Mimi,

So much is in the presentation I think. When I am tempted to buy things, I have to make sure it's not just for a look that I can recreate myself. Or in this case, improve upon.

We tried several before someone suggested French Lavender and we've never looked back. The succulent bowls are a great idea, and I probably don't need to tell you that each little succulent leaf grows a whole new plant, so with enough time, these can actually end up being a cost effective gift. Not so much if you have to go out and buy enough succulents to fill a bowl at $12 each though! I laughed at your blower. I've requested a new computer monitor for Mothers Day. Whatever makes you happy I say! I agree...gift what you can with love and that is enough.

On a visit to my Brother in Toowoomba I picked huge posies of lavender. As it dried the seed fell. On the off chance this might grow I put it into some old seed punnets. The lavender seedlings have been in the garden for a while and are doing very well. I am so looking forward to getting more lavender straight from the garden.<br />As to all the gorgeous presents you have put together, Wow! You are definitely an inspiration. I am good at replicating ideas but not at looking at something and then tweeking it to make it my own.<br />I have been looking at the succulent plantings that are costing a fortune in the stores. I plan on taking a few older bowl type pots and making up outdoor table displays using succulents, using what I have here. By Christmas these will be well established and will have filled out beautifully.<br />I dont look at those lists that say what you should or shouldnt give as gifts. Bluey gave me an outdoor blower vac one year. My friends were horrified at this. I however was in heaven. It was the perfect gift for me. You gift what you can and you gift it with love. This should be enough!<br />Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-45185294823856381312018-04-03T11:08:00.791+10:002018-04-03T11:08:00.791+10:00You are so lucky to be able to grow lavender.
