Hi there! It has been summer here in the Pacific Northwest...and I have been happily up to my ears in farm fresh lavender, blueberries and peaches!
And... It's Sequim's 23rd annual Lavender Festival weekend!
But first...
July 22 is Prince George's 6th birthday...amazing! Love the Getty image above...so cute.
It really does seem like a few months ago, instead of July 2013 that he was born...
And he is certainly a typical little boy!
The Cambridge Mom Catherine, Prince George and Princess Charlotte together earlier this month
Just released by his Mum for his 6th birthday...
So fun!
Here are a few Lavender Fair photos...
Outdoor Sequim band concert in the park...
I'd call this outdoor sculpture...at a Cedarbrook Lavender...
At Purple Haze Lavender...a mini Lavender market, with food and live music as well...
Lavender quilts at one of the booths...what a fun long weekend it always is!
There is a driftwood art show, farmer's market, concerts in the park, the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt show, car show, lavender crafts and basically entertainment every minute. And if anything can be made to eat with lavender in it... it'll be available!
There is a huge food court, mostly with vender...
Just a few more photos I took of the festival and a few venues...
Ad speaking of lavender goodies...

Our favorite is the Swiss Chocolate Lavender ice cream!

And while looking through old magazines I found this recipe for Lemon-Lavender Bars in the October 2013 issue of Country Living:

And we have a few Lavender themed Adderley, England bone china mugs at Antiques And Teacups as well..
Hope you are having a lovely summer week... we are in for our hottest this year so far apparently... which for most of you won't seem very hot... 80s and possibly a 90... but that's hot for us!
Iced Harney & Sons Tropical Green in a large pitcher in the fridge, so all is good!
We live in Vancouver Washington, it is suppose to be 92 yikes hottest day so far this year..I follow your blog daily..I love love and love some more Lavendar..wanted to attend the festival but the heat here is oppressive for our two older cats and we don't have a/c since our home was built in 1978 and it was not an option for us at the time..My friend goes to a lavender festival in Oregon and always remembers I love the soaps, teas etc. she brings me back some goodies and I am good for another year..I drink tea each and everyday and make my own scones and bites and serve them to my friends always have done so and always will..seems to me tea is a great beverage to sit and ponder what is happening in ones life and others, I fuss over my family and friends with tea and make tea and scone lovers out of all of them..thank you for your blog, you seem like a sweet souled human being who spreads the joy of tea and life to others, have a most wonderful warm day and enjoy the weekend..ciao mjs from [email protected]!!!!!!!!!!!!!
