So my wonderful friend Amy from California sent me this marvelous package for Christmas from Lavender Hollow Farm. Before I even opened the box I could smell it’s wonderfulness. In the package were some lovely lavender bath salts, hand cream, lavender scone mix and a piece of lavender chocolate! YES, lavender chocolate! I’m sad to say that I received this generous gift before Christmas and it took me until the second of February to unwrap this fragrant treat. I’ve never had anything flavored lavender before other than tea. Which I’m  also embarrassed to say that I haven’t baked the lavender scones yet, but I’m really excited to try it! I’m saving them for one of those cold rainy days, so I can just wake up, bake up the lovely scones and enjoy with a cup of tea in the pajamas. I wonder if it’s going to rain tomorrow? Hmmmmm…..

Now, to really enjoy a delicious piece of lavender chocolate, you really need to enjoy lavender. Now, I’m not talking about the vanilla lavender candle I have on the shelf, I’m talking real lavender. Fresh lavender. And oh boy do I. But it’s not meant for everyone, like my boyfriend for example. He sits down next to me while I’m typing this blog and savoring a bite of my chocolate, and  he took one sniff of me and walked away. At least I don’t have to worry about sharing with him!

From the moment I unwrapped the pretty wrapper, I knew it was special. The smell was delicate and at the same time it just filled the room. It was then that I discovered that my puppy Miss Lola enjoys the scent of lavender too! She trotted over to the end table next to me and nearly swiped my chocolate! Sorry Miss Lola! No chocolate for puppies! 

THANKS AMY!
