Christmas and Holidays Sale! 40% Off All Lavender Pendants

I had a wonderful time creating all of these handmade lavender filled pendants from the lavender I grew, but since they are a unique item, they are not something that has sold well on the internet.  Internet sales are driven by what people are searching for.  

And they don't search for what they do not know exists.

Each one of these is filled with dried lavender flowers woven into these tiny baskets with double-sided satin ribbon.  There are about ten of them which I made in multiplies of five, but most of them are each one of a kind.  They can be worn as pendants, hung in a window, or like the one I made for myself, hung in your car.

If  you visit my Etsy shop, you will see that all of the individual ones are on sale.

If you would like to stock your brick and mortar shop with a few of these for the holidays, then I have a listing there that gives you 55% off for sets of 5 of your choosing.  Write me via Etsy if you are interested because there are some listings I would need to renew if you want to see them all.

Last but not least, some people who've purchased some of my Wholesale Gift Sets know that they get a surprise in their package!  A free one of my bookmarks made the same way as the pendants, or sometimes even a pendant.

Please help me move these guys, if they are not up your alley, then maybe you know someone who would like them.  The lavender inside will last for many years.  I even seen a photo of a lavender wand with the caption that it still smelled like lavender after 40 years!

New Lavender Filled Pendants and Baby Streptocarpus

I am glad to say that I was able to make over 3,000 lavender filled wands again this season.  To be honest with you, after making them for 14 hour days until midnight every single day for three and a half months, it is kind of hard to stop.  I do this because it can only be done in such a short period of time and then it is impossible to make more until mid June of the following year.

So after pushing myself so hard for those few months, I always feel a bit lost when it is time to stop.  Like, what do I do now?  Of course I have more than enough to do, but another part of me wants to start searching to see if anyone might have a stray English lavender bush in their yard that still has lavender on it and green stems that are still pliable.  Because maybe I don't have enough plum purple smalls....

All the baby streptocarpus are calling to me to get out there and finish transplanting them all into the tubes.  I've got over 1,100 of them already into tubes, with at least another 2,000 waiting.  I hear I should see color by November, and I can't wait!  I am tempted to start selling them now, but then, what if that super dooper incredible new flower is one of the ones I sell before I see it bloom????

Meanwhile, I made lots of lavender filled pendant "blanks".  I mean I make the tiny little "wand" without a handle and leave the ends open so I can make them into pendants throughout the winter.  This year I bought 100 teeny tiny bottles and am having fun thinking of items to put into them.  Starting with, of course, lavender flowers!

What do you think? 

I am making about 40 of them into sets of 5 each so I can ship them to Amazon Handmade FBA.  Which means "Fullfilled By Amazon" and makes those listings Prime because Amazon will fill and ship the order.  The majority of my lavender filled wand inventory will be available on Amazon Prime this year.  A great deal of it is already there.

All of this is of course, a means of making a living while I continue to chase that dream of getting my fuchsia nursery back up and running!  All the stock is still here!
