Ode to My Lavender

I created this sweet lavender fairy tussie mussie to watch over my harvested lavender while I was away I'm hoping she will do a good job although she does have a bit of an impish grin on her face...I wonder what she is thinking?

"ladies fair, I bring to you lavender with spikes of blue;

sweeter plant was never found

growing on our English ground."
Caryl Battersby

"And lavender, whose spikes of azure bloom shall be,

ere-while, in arid bundles bound

to lurk admist the labours of her loom,

and crown her kerchiefs witl mickle rare perfume."
William Shenstone The School Mistress 1742

"There’s flowers for you;Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram;

The marigold, that goes to bed wi’ the sun,And with him rises weeping;

thes are flower Of middle summer,

and I thek they are given To men of middle age."

William Shakespeare The Winter’s Tale
