RobinInOR Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Not a great picture - too much detail for such a small thing. The sachets are 3 wooden clothespins, soaked in lavender essential oil. Tied with raffia, lavender stalks from my garden, hangtag. Thought they'd make neat little stocking stuffers. Do they look like something a person would grab? Not sure on $$ yet...

lindsaycb Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Those are sensational..the tag & the lavender make it a great little finished gift.Did you stain them? It just seems that there's different colored pins going on. I could see a $3 pricetag on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Those are darling! They would be fantastic in a lingerie drawer. I would price them (depending on your cost of course) at 5.00 per set. People will pay for novelty and originality and I have never seen anything like that.I'd buy them for gifts and I detest lavender.... LOL!!

Crafty1 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 very nice Robin. And yes, I would buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thanks! So, probably somewhere between $3-5, hmm..... And no, I didn't stain them, that's just the color they turn when soaked in oil. I guess the wood varies in grain. I'm not sure how long the scent will last, am still testing. They're pretty strong now, kind of a stinky lavender that needs to fade Maybe I could sell them with a little bottle of EO as a refresher, maybe a 15ml bottle or something like that to make it affordable.

Soapymomma Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Those are really really nice. Clever too and pretty. Do you sell lavender sprigs like you use for them? Since you are in Or. I thought I'd ask since I have been looking for a few. I love them and would use them in my home. I soak little wood rolling pins in apple pie oil for my potpourri and the scent lasts a very long time. I think the little vial of refresher oil is a great idea too. I just wonder if the lavender oil would rub off on an article of clothing if it came in direct contact in a dresser drawer or something. That might be something to test for. Seems like they would be really nice in a closet too. Just placed every here and there. Moths don't like lavender, so that might be a selling point too.Oh how I ramble on and like to think through my typing fingers.

RobinInOR Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'm testing for staining now - so far so good, these are pretty dry. I don't sell the sprigs, I only have one lavender plant in my back yard, so I hord everything for my products This years crop wasn't as pretty a color as last years - I waited too long to cut. You have the perfect weather for lavender out there - you should grow a pot! Very easy to take care of, doesn't take a lot of water. They can take the cold winter.

itsallgood20 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Again Robin, you're in the Zone! I really like those. I think the refresher oil is a good idea also. You're so creative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I would buy!! I think that $5.00 or even $6.00 with the EO to refresh would be a good price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimscandles Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I think those are so cute! :smiley2: I think $5 is a fair price to ask for those. You can tell it took some time to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Robin, your products always look so elegant. I really like your style. I'm a sucker for Lavender too. Curious to see how your testing goes. I wonder how long the scent will last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candleslh Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Those are just fantastic Robin! I'm so glad you posted a picture of them. I've been reading about them and just couldn't quite imagine what they looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Those are just lovely!! I would certainly be drawn to something like that. Very good idea. Let us know the end results as far as how long the fragrance lasts and whether they stain clothing or not. Great job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
