When I was a girl, a shirt tail cousin from England brought me a
handmade sachet with lavender from her garden. I slept with it in my
pllowcase for the longest time before I tucked it into a lingerie
drawer. She taught me how to refresh the lavendar by rubbing the
sachet between my palms. Thanks for sparking the memory!
