Herbs: Lavender in bloom! What are you doing with yours?, 1 by critterologist

My lavender hedge is stunning this year! I've put together a couple of fresh bouquets for drying, and I'm planning to pick some more before they start fading too much. My niece and I made "lavender wands" this week -- a wonderful project! Pick some long stemmed lavender blooms and put them in water for the weekend so they stay flexible... I've got an article on the schedule for Sunday (there was an opening then) with step by step photos and directions for weaving the wands. You'll need a roll of quarter inch ribbon, too.

What are you doing to save some of that wonderful aroma for the winter months? Sachets? Bundles? ??
