It’s synchronicity … a meaningful coincidence … that I’m finding lavender everywhere. Or perhaps a trend that I didn’t know about?
In August I ordered bulk lavender buds to make sachets for Christmas gifts.
Next thing I know my friend, travel writer Janet Podolak, posts a picture of herself in French lavender fields.
The weekend came and I was at a family gathering where the virtues of lavender essential oil became a topic.
Then, at Barrio taqueria in Cleveland, the specials included a lavender margarita. You bet that I ordered it.
A day later I was at a conference – Content Marketing World – and one of the vendors was treating us to lemon-lavender shortbread.
Back at the Willoughby (Ohio) Farmer’s Market vendor Maggie Fusco was selling aromatic, handcrafted lavender wands.
Its as though the lavender gods were blessing me with my favorite herb. Now, if I could just get it to grow it without getting so spindly and sad in the limited sunshine over my Northeast Ohio parcel of clay.
P.S. After I’d written this I stumbled upon Luvin’ Lavender Farm in Madison, Ohio. I’ll hold on to their story for another blog. Watch this space!
