{French Country Style Lavender Sachets & Candy}

From TOURNON SUR RHONE, in the French Alps, I do know a lady, named Agnes Bayet.
Agnes makes the most precious and unique items in French Country Style. All made from vintage and upscale French decorator fabrics.

The two at the bottom are made of 'Lecien' fabric in old rose pattern, with beautiful lace and ribbons. They are partly filled with lavender and look like real CANDY!

Sold out...

Have a look at: Spectrenoir where you find these French Country Style Lavender Candy treasures.

This is a beautiful lavender sachet.

All sachets are shaped and partly filled with French lavender.

The large size sachets would make it otherwise very expensive as lavender is valuable.

Check the above hyperlink for prices of lavender and ribbon spindles!

Here is a very special lavender sachet made of vintage toile. This one is embellished with two hand embroidered angels and vintage lace.

All these sachets are under the label La Mère aux Anges.

Another sachet from upscale 'Lecien' fabric in a rose pattern.

Very uniquely French, done with entre deux lace and a beautiful ribbon.

{16 Crocheted Christmas Ornaments I made for the City Hall's Tree}

Just came across this picture of the 16 different crocheted lace Christmas ornaments that I'd made for our Dublin, Georgia City Hall. Since on Saturday, November 19 of 1994, I was having my Christmas Sale, like the day before, I was unable to bring them to the City Hall for hanging them on the tree... My Dublin Mama did pick them up and did it for me. As she did often, helping me out.
