On our first full day in Texas we headed to Blanco -- a small town 45 miles NW of San Antonio-- for their lavender festival. Blanco is the self-described "Lavender Capital old Texas.
I have a lavender problem and it needed to be addressed.
The festival itself was nice. About 75 -100 artisans, lavender purveyors, vineyards, etc on the grounds of the old courthouse. I purchased lavender honey (which I've wanted FOREVER and hemp lavender mint lotion. (It's Hemp History Week! Who knew? Free the hemp!)
After that we headed to Hill Country Lavender Farms so that I could see those big purple mounds of blooming beauty. Uh....not so much. It was disappointing. The lavender in my front yard is more glorious.
No matter. It was fun to go to the boondocks and buy local products.
And it all smelled fantastic! There were purple potties, lavender ice cream, lavender lemonade, lavender cookies and a bison head with a lavender bow.
