Try using a drop of it on the collar of her nighty at night or on the pillow, she will rest better for it, I use it as is on my skin, but if you do it daily, it will raise a blister, or it can be diluted with any vegetable oil in the kitchen that is natural and used, for a massage or chest rub, 3 or 4 drops in a tablespoon of oil.

Thank you for the tip and the warning.

Grow some lavender plants and use the flowers in your linens and dresser drawers or even open in a bowl.

Hubby goes to Lowes everyday, I'll have him ask if they have any.

Little did I know that it was a natural tranquilizer.

That's nice to know. :)

Recovering chairs is work.

I just finished the last one. They look great.

I have to get supper on the stove now. I'll try to get back later. Again thanks for the ping, keep 'em coming. lol

Good for you, it always feels so good to change something.

Be careful on buying lavender plants, some of them are useless for the herbal uses, they are the new hybrids, that are bred for show.

It will not grow here, so I have forgotten what I learned about the types.

Maybe Garden Girl can tell us which is the right variety for using the flowers to scent rooms and make bed pillows that go in the pillow case, etc.
