This pretty one-of-a-kind sachet has been handcrafted from two vintage handkerchiefs. The first is white cotton printed with red and pink roses; it has a pink embroidered scalloped edge. The second features coordinating pink crocheted edging. Both hankies are layered over a contemporary red cotton fabric with white polka dots; this is also used for the back. The layers are secured by a vintage button stack—one red, one pink and flower-shaped. It measures approximately 4.5 inches square.

Each of my sachets is filled with a mixture of French lavender buds and buckwheat hulls—the lavender for it's intense scent and the buckwheat for lightness (lavender can be expensive and heavy for shipping;  using buckwheat helps offset both these issues). Customers have told me that the scent lasts for years and years; just give them a squeeze to refresh the scent!

Use your sachet in your linen cupboard to repel moths but it's really too pretty to hide away. Lavender is renowned as a sleep aid so keep one on your bedside table for those nights when you're having trouble falling asleep.
