Here in Western Washington you’ll find many great lavender farms. I absolutely love lavender. Not only is it a beautiful herb, it also smells divine. The flower and the oil of lavender have been used for centuries.
Do you like lavender?
My favorite ways to use lavender are the simple ways — in my laundry and at bedtime. For laundry, place a few drops on cloth or laundry dryer sheet to freshen laundry scent and naturally deodorize.

Use lavender oil at bedtime with the kids. You can place a few drops in a carrier oil and massage on their feet to calm them down before bed. You can also place a couple drops on their pillow and favorite stuffed animal to comfort them at night and promote relaxation.

I use a number of different essential oils in my soap making. I love lavender for washing my sheets and towels. The bit of scent is just heavenly.
LaVonne says
A soap with lavender essential oil in it would be lovely, Patty. To have it on your sheets would help with sleep too! It is a heavenly scent.

For some odd reason, I never liked the smell of lavender. However, I still use the essential oil because of the wealth of benefits that it provides. 🙂

Could you put it on a wool dryer ball do you think? That would be a great way to disperse it I bet.
LaVonne says
Yes, I do think you could do that, Meghan. That’d be a great idea!
