A misty mosty morning is not something we experience very often in Southern California. All the more reason to go out and enjoy the damp atmosphere.
This is the last weekend this year when entrance to the Lavender Festival is free. So if it is shopping that takes your interest, perhaps this is the time to do it.
A tent full of lavender-inspired products, soaps, sachets, essential oils, olive oil . . . , are waiting to entice you with their enchanting fragrance. It’s never too early to start looking for gifts for the festive season. There are also a variety of plants on sale, lavender and otherwise, and right next door, the Master Gardeners will be only too willing to offer some helpful advice in looking after them.
A new feature of the festival this year is Oak Mercantile. Housed in what is affectionately referred to as the Big House, a display of products on a wooden theme is to be found. Many of the products have been hand-crafted from wood found on our property. Also on display are some pieces that were considered too beautiful in their natural state to be touched by man’s efforts.
So we hope to see you this weekend, but be sure to come prepared with your warm winter woollies and wet-weather wellies.
