Dani, I've tried using dried lavender in soap and it turns a ucky brown. Potpourri is the only thing that comes to mind.

sachets...tea...you can even bake with it.

Have you cut the stems real close to the ground, bent them at the bottom of the blooms, brought the stems way up & over the blooms, & wove ribbon through the stems & then made a bow? You'd have something that resembles a sock darner.

I wish I knew what this is called!

That's the one!

i like to cook with it. use the buds only, i only use dried. you can make muffins (lemon and lavender are yummy) shortbread cookies with lavender. i also make herbs de province. i love lavender in tea also.

What about making it in bath teas?
just google bath tea recipe (lavender)
I bet you find a ton of recipes.
They would make great gifts!!

Another nice use for the dried buds is drawer sachets. You can put them in pretty organza bags or simple muslin ones.
