Purple

Lavender, lavender,
From where the bee hums,


To the loud roar of London,
With purple dreams he comes,



From ragged lanes of wild-flowers
To ragged London slums,



With a basket full of lavender
And purple dreams he comes.

excerpt from "Lavender" by Alfred Noyes

A friend of mine commissioned me to sew up some lavender sachets for her drawers and around the house to keep the moths away. I must say that I had quite a fun time whipping these up and will be listing a few bundles of sachets in my Etsy shop, so keep an eye out!
