LAVENDER BLUE POTPOURRI

2 Cups (500 ml) dried Lavender flowers	1/2 Cup (125 ml) blue Pansies
1 Cup (250 ml) white Rose Petals	2 Tbl. powdered Orris Root
1/2 Cup (125 ml) Bachelors Button flower heads	4-5 drops Lavender Essential Oil

Combine ingredients in a very large bowl. Mix with your hands, turning the materials over and over until well blended.

Place in an air-tight container in a dark, cool place and allow to mellow for 6 weeks. To make sure the scents blend well, shake or mix every few days.

After 6 weeks the potpourri is ready to use and can be put into sachet bags, left in an open dish, or placed in a specially designed potpourri container. Potpourri will lose its scent more quickly if left in an open dish.
