Guest Post Lavendar Bath Salts by The Vintage Farmhouse

Today, I have Nicki visiting.  When you visit her blog you will see such pretty cottage decor and projects.   She participates in antique sales and has an Esty shop.  I'm confident you will enjoy her blog as well as the project she's sharing with us today.


Hello all of you fabulous people!
I'm Nicki from The Vintage Farmhouse guest posting for Kim while she is away.  

I am so excited to be visiting here!!

Today I am sharing a quick, easy (and cheap!) lavender project.

Lavender Bath Salts

You will need:
Canning jars ~any size you prefer (We all have those just hanging around right?)
 Lavender~ (I buy mine on Ebay, a whole pound for $9.99)
Epsom Salt~ (also can be found cheap at your local drug store)
 

Then all you do is add your salt to your mason jar...... 
Then toss in some of the lavender buds, a little or a lot it's all up to you!
 Now shake or stir. 

You can get a little extra fancy, if you are giving some as gifts, and add your own tags and some lavender colored ribbon around the lids.
Easy peasy, now you have lavender bath salts!
Thank you so much for having me here Kim!


That was easy, Nicki.  I know I have Ball jars in my pantry right now.  What a pretty, fragrant gift.  I'm thinking maybe even gifts for teachers come next school year, too. Don't forget to swing over to The Vintage Farmhouse and say "Hi!"
