Pink Saturday And Lavender Wands

Happy Pink Saturday!  After visiting the Lavender Festival, I was inspired to make a lavender wand.  If you want instructions, they are all over the web.  It’s pretty straight forward, so I just did it my way.  I don’t know what type of lavender grows in my garden, but it was definitely not the slender petite variety they used at the fair to make the wands.  So, I had to offset the bunch I used.  Basic steps: Pick 15 lavender stalks, remove the leaves.  Tie the bunch with dental floss, bend stalks over the flowers, weave ribbon around, and tie off.  Pretty simple, and the results are even prettier.  The hardest part was competing with the bees for the flowers:
