Anywhere over the rainbow, behind the mountains and near the sea, there is a house, a little and wonderful house: the fairyland cottage❤. And there lives a wonderful, kindness and by GOD blessed woman who open the door of her house every sunday so we can "visit" her. Every sunday I know that it is time for visiting "my" irish friend. I love the peaceful moments you give to me. Not only at this special covid times, but every time. I thank you thousand times from the bottom of my heart for giving me this special, peaceful moments every sunday. ❤

An American Man here, and I was wondering what to do with the lavender trimmings that I’ve had drying. I like the idea of the room spray and per the comments the fabric pillows of lavender for drawers. Your video was so helpful and felt like lavender itself. So calming and delicate, it made me feel lavender calm. Well done and thank you so much!

Lavender is such a go-to in my house. We know that a drop or two of essential oil will stop bug bites from itching, that a drop or two will help us to sleep at night, that a diffuser or a room spray will help us to feel a bit more calm and centered. We also know that it is simply lovely to watch grow and to see the bees happily buzzing around in the flowers. I love your recipe for the room spray, and will have to give that one a try. Thanks again for another brief, beautiful interlude in my week! PS-I was noticing your wedding band and admired it. It looks like it could be vintage. I love vintage jewelry, and have a few pieces myself from cherished family members no longer with us. Some days, when dressing, I think about whose essence I would like to have around me, and I chose a piece from that person, hoping that I can sometimes have a little help or catch a fleeting moment of that ancestor in my day. I hope you have a beautiful week, and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us next Sunday.

I love lavender. I use dried lavender as a moth and silver fish deterrent for my woollen clothes. I just sew up some little pouches and fill them with dried lavender and then put them in amongst my clothes. I also use lavender essential oil every night over my heart chakra to give me a restful sleep. I dilute it with some fractionated coconut oil and put it in a roller bottle then let it sit in a dark cupboard for 2 days to infuse. I roll the bottle between my hands before I use it. Love your videos. I look forward to them every Sunday. ☺️

Chaosophia24 sometimes companies can spike with other oils to make them smell sweeter they will still label them pure ‘lavender’ as one example. Perhaps this is where the photosensitivity comes from? Plenty of skincare companies use oils in their products and I use them in my DIY recipes with my pasty white skin and I have never had a photosensitive burn I’d be the first person to have an issue! We can agree to disagree though.
