Linen, Lavender and Lace

September means we have got this year´s lavender cut, dried and ready to be made into all kinds of lavender produce.  We have started by making lavender bags as they had all sold out.  As before we use linen and lace for the bags and fill them with our wonderful lavender.

This season´s lavender bags - € 6.50

Jewellery

We are using the stones (schist) from the mountains around Covas in our jewellery.  The schist is golden-brown and shiny and very delicate which makes it hard to work with, but we think the end result is well worth it.  As well as the schist we use silver, lava, porcelain beads (which we make at the Yavanna Studio) and various beads some of which we have collected our self´s from different parts of the world.

Wood

Robin has been busy with his woodturning and we have lots more of wonderful wine-bottles-stoppers and bowls, big and small.  We will be putting photos on the site in the coming days.

Lavender Bags from Covas

Visitors have started to arrive and have been enjoying buying local presents before returning home – we have had people from Britain, Canada and the USA and they have gone back with a variety of presents for friends and family.  Easily the most popular items have been the wine stoppers in local woods and the lavender bags made here in Covas using local lavender.

Local olive wood bowls - full of character and so soft to the touch

It has been the most incredible spring – warm and filled with birdsong, with just enough rain to make everything grow prolifically – including the weeds!  The roses around the gallery are now in full bloom and will continue to give us joy for a few months yet.
