Springtime Soiree Party Favors. This spring I will be attending a few gatherings and parties as well as hosting one. I needed 24 swap gifts for an upcoming luncheon and decided to share the sweet scents of springtime by creating lavender sachets.
Springtime Soiree Party Favors
I found 25 muslin bags on Etsy and stamped a sweet tweet onto the front of each bag. (You can use any type of stamp, but make sure your ink works well on cloth.)
Each bag received a teacup full of dried lavender. (I purchased a half pound of lavender on eBay.)
I then typed up “Happy Spring from Decor to Adore” and printed this onto a piece of pink cardstock. (You could use any color.) The greeting was punched out, stamped and hole punched. I then attached the tag to the bag along with a sweet gold button that featured a floral motif. (The buttons were leftover from a past project~ wouldn’t pearl buttons also be lovely?)
I so wish that there was a “Scratch and Sniff” button on computers because the scent is SO heavenly.
Since I had a bit of lavender left over I filled up a few other bags that I had sewn up.
I also took scraps of various fabric I had on hand and sewed them together to create a bag. After being filled with the dried lavender they were closed with a vintage pin.
The next few weeks will showcase springtime ideas and crafts that I hope you will enjoy.

Oh Laura Sweetie….
Do you hear me squealing? I believe we are going to have about 18 maybe 20 at the luncheon. You know sometimes we have last minute ones that drop in. How beautiful these lavendar pouches are. You are so creative. I love it.
Can't wait for Saturday sweetie. I am so looking forward to seeing you again.
Have a beautiful day today. Love all your pretties you shared today. Country hugs and so much love, Sherry
I love lavender sachets! Your muslin bags and sweet birdie tags are very cute! But I especially love the way you made bags from pretty fabric and then closed it with the vintage flower brooch! WOW!!
This is such a “feel good” post. Lavender has such a clean, refreshing fragrance and your sachet bags are adorable Laura. Makes me eager to get into the swing of Spring. Continuing to pray for your daughter's recovery.
These are so sweet, Laura! What a great party favor for a shower, too.
but really, the 70's party is going to be the best!
Such great little gifts. I love lavender, and I think I'm going to grow it in one of our gardens this year.
Beautiful project, thanks for sharing.

What a lovely idea! I am hosting my book club in June and we're reading Persuasion by Jane Austen. I may do a little something like this for the members. Maybe a JA quote stamp. I'll have to think on it. Your little bird is lovely and I have that same stamp pad.
I love lavender, and those are so cute!
Hey, I'm painting my bathroom cabinet today! I'll post pics when it's all finished.
These are so cute, Laura. Your friends are sure to love them. And I think the sachets you made with the leftovers are gorgeous.
Can't wait to lunch with you on Saturday, we are going to have so much fun. Char
Laura, you create the most lovely gifts … I can smell the fresh lavender.
Happy spring.
Have a beautiful week.

I love lavender sachets and I especially love your 24 as they are so simple yet beautiful! It is a favorite gift from me too. I had a friend who had a chemo treatment, so I didn't know whether she could eat or enjoy flowers. I made her a coat hanger for her (what do you call that coat you'll wear over your pj's?) bathrobe(??) and a matching fabric heart filled with lavender, as this has a comforting smell.
Have a lovely day Laura!

I am soooooo using this idea….. I have to have some little party favors for a wedding shower that I'm having in the fall. The theme is birds…. So these would be perfect!
