The Pelindaba Lavender Farm: Christmas Gift Ideas

November 9, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 8 Comments

Now that Halloween is past I am itching to get on to the preparation of Christmas, I love looking for the perfect gift, and the baking and mailing of care packages, I love the music and the whole kit and caboodle. Don’t get me wrong, I do like Thanksgiving so that I can be with family and friends, and of course for the pumpkin pie, but really I am counting the days until I can let the season begin.  For me that is right after Thanksgiving dinner, I think the turkey might still be warm but I do not care, out with the pumpkins, and Fall colors and in with the white lights, and the Mercury glass and all of the shiny sparkly ornaments.

One of my go to places for beautiful and unusual gifts is the Pelindaba Lavender Farm . This farm is located  in Friday Harbour on the San Juan Islands in Washington state. If you ever get the chance to go there to visit in person it is a must see. Aside from the beauty of the island itself, and the orca whales, the alpaca farms and so many more things to see and do, the Pelindaba Lavender Farm is a sight to see. If you visit at the peak of the season which is the best time, you can smell and hear the farm before you are out of your car. The fields are literally alive with the sound of…bees! Disclaimer, if you do not like bees, this is not your sort of place.

Pelindaba Lavender Farm manufactures 250 items on- site, so they can control the quality. If you like lavender there is something for everyone; a few of the products are,  lavender salt (love it), lavender pepper, lavender chutney (love it), essential oil, lavender shortbread, hair care products, lip balm (love it), tea, lemonade, hot chocolate, chocolate bars, and more. The list goes on and seriously if you have a lavender lover in your life go over and check it out. All products are available on line here. They really do have great things and you do not even have to leave the house to shop.

I do not have any affiliation to the Pelindaba Lavender Farm, I am not getting any payment or product,  I just really enjoyed my time there and love the products.

    I adore lavender, and have it planted in borders and pots around my garden. When it is cut and dried, I put it into linen bags and hang it in my wardrobe to help keep the moths away. And it smells so lovely too.
    The Pelindaba Lavender Farm looks to be the most wonderful place to visit. I can imagine all the bees, as they really love it so much.
    As I will not be able to go there in person, I shall check out the website.
    I hope you are having a good week. Abby

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
