Provence in lavender and ribbons

Sprigs of sweet-scented lavender reminiscent of days gone-by, pretty little baskets and bottles that Provençal grandmothers would weave and place in their wardrobes to perfume their linen and keep the moths at bay.

Monique Cornand, a guardian of this traditional craft, makes typical Provençal figures and other more fanciful ones that spring from her imagination.

Now, make your own little lavender dolls and animals: an ant and a cicada, a cat and a mouse, Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf, "Dentelle" the pretty bride and her charming companion "Lavandin"...
