Lavender & the Mountain Kitchen Witch

If you've seen my business card, you've seen lavender everywhere. It's one of the plants I reach for most, in the studio and at the worktable alike.

In a lot of folk traditions, lavender is tied to calm, sleep, and peace in the home. Tucked into a sachet, steeped in a bath, or simply hung to dry by a window, it brings a softness that's hard to put into words.

When you see lavender in a Creative JuJu piece, know that it was put there on purpose: a small wish for rest and gentleness, from my hands to yours.
