Trade is Looking Up

Well, Le Dorat may be a sleepy little town, but at Chez Penny it's been pretty busy today!


I took more money than ever before and had lots of people in looking round.  It was great!


I was making lavender sachets and selling them almost as quickly as I made them...

...but they do take almost an hour to make and, at 3,50€ each they're a good bargain I think.


(Incidentally I've made the pattern available FREE on Ravelry)


The lavender comes from my garden, and is grown without fertilisers or pesticides.  It grows brilliantly out here!


I also sold a set of teacups, saucers and tea plates to a man who runs a shop in town called La Maison du Terroir, and they have a couple of little tables outside where you can have a cup of tea - no food though, unless you buy a packet of biscuits!  He said he liked the idea of serving his drinks in the bone china cups and saucers.


He's coming back tomorrow to look at a little wall cupboard!
