I was at Trader Joe's earlier this week, and they had huge baskets full of dried lavender for sale near the checkout. Lavender smells so amazing--it's spicy, sweet, and so fresh at the same time. When I was in elementary school, the house we lived in had a row of lavender bushes out front, and I remember my mom and I making sachets of dried lavender for our dresser drawers and linen closets. It was thrilling to me that something so simple and easily derived could smell so good.
Of course I picked some up at Trader Joes, and felt that same thrill as I cut the lavender off the stems and caught the bursts of fragrance fill my kitchen. Added bonus--look at that color! So pretty!
