Lavender festival



This weekend was the Oregon Lavender Festival. We spent the day going to two lavender farms, drinking lavender lemonade, eating lavender shortbread and lavender sorbet, picking lavender bouquets and listening to the beautiful sound of the bees buzzing through the fields.

One farm we went to was a Lavender AND Alpaca farm!! Double score! In the gift shop two guys were demonstrating fiber arts - weaving and spinning. Of course, I gravitated towards the spinner. He let me try out his Lendrum wheel and we talked spinning. When I left he handed me a bag with an ounce of alpaca fiber!!! I thought that was super sweet of him.
