Lavender Keepsake Sachet

Made with hand harvested local North Idaho English lavender, 100% pure linen and wool darning thread, our lavender sachets are inspired by the Christian Greek Orthodox tradition of "phylachto". "Phylachto", a word that can be translated as "keepsake", is a cherished object, traditionally square, rectangular or triangular in shape, and usually made of fabric, containing holy church relics or blessed items. These keepsakes are small, sometimes as tiny as a thimble and are kept by the faithful as a blessing.Our aromatic lavender sachets are filled with a mixture of lavender buds and rice and sewn shut by hand using woolen darning thread. A cross is sewn on one side and a handmade tassel, reminiscent of Greek traditional woven fabrics and clothes, hangs at the bottom.  They come with a 100% cotton muslin drawstring bag bearing a hand-sewn cross on one side, where the sachet can be securely placed if you wish to take it with you on your travels or present it to a friend as a gift.Sachet dim
