Random Ramblings...

 I decided to harvest some of my lavender tonight, thinking I would make lavender water to use for ironing.  Well, I clipped the lavender THEN Googled for a recipe.  Who new you needed lavender oil?  What is the point of using the fresh plant if you are just going to use a bottle of commercial oil for the fragrance??  I don't get that...
 So I decided to just get over it and I painted my toenails green because I could.  I DID have a bottle of that!  Not such a good look but you need to try things or you won't ever know...  you know?
I painted them green to go with the new green purse and wallet I bought tonight.  Yes, I know they don't really match.  So then I tried that setting on the new camera and only "sees" green.  Well, that didn't work at ALL.   My evening just kind of went like that.

I love lavender! Sorry it didn't work out. Maybe you could try soaking it in water overnight, without the oil? Love the green toes!! xo Heather

Well at least the lavender made a great backdrop for your green toes! Which I love by the way! I'm also loving the purse and wallet.

I have lavender in my yard too--I just love to walk by it and get that fragrance. I say just soak it in the water--better than nothing--it wouldn't work for me, since I don't iron.

...which has me thinking--I need to paint my toenails.....

Really, you can't just steep the lavender? I love green and think the two tones work perfectly. By the way I have blue toenail polish...smiles...Renee

I'm wondering about steeping the lavender was well. Please let us know how that turns out when you try it. ;-)

You are so funny! I had green toenails for St. Pat's Day. :) Green accessories are my favorite!
