Hip, on the House: LLFarm

This giveaway is now closed!  Thank you to everyone who participated.  The lucky winner is...

Lucky number 34!   Danunepthys, please email us at hardlyhousewives@gmail.com to claim your prize! For those that didn't win, we have another AWESOME giveaway we will be posting later today. 

You guys remember me freaking out over Julie Mom's lavender scones I had while visiting Midland, MI? 

Yeah. So good. 

Get excited because Karyn is sending me lavender buds so I can make the recipe for you guys. 

Yeah. So excited. 

I was buzzing through Etsy for lavender buds and came across the most amazing store ever:  Lizzy Lane Farm.  Even though I was only looking for lavender buds, I found so much more!  Organic herbs, and soaps, and salves...oh my! I contacted Karyn, the shop owner, and she put something extra, extra special together just for you guys.    

This weeks giveaway will be a lavender GIFT BASKET complete with Lavender Salve, Lavender Soap, Lavender Bath Salt, and of course Lavender Buds.  SCORE.

I love Karyn's Lizzy Lane Farm Blog.  It's so inspiring and envy inducing.  She lives on this amazing farm in New Hampshire.   Be still my Mainer heart.  

Check out Karyn's famous Lizzy Lane Farm House Lavender Lemonade recipe.  I'm SO making this and you can too :)

1 tray crushed ice cubes
1/4 cup dried lavender
2 cups boiling water
3/4 cup organic sugar
8 organic lemons
5 cups cold water

Place ice cubes into a 2 quart pitcher. Place the lavender into a bowl, and pour boiling water over it. Allow to steep for about 10 minutes, then strain out the lavender and discard in the compost bin.  Mix the organic sugar into the hot lavender water, then pour into the pitcher with the ice.  Squeeze the juice from the lemons into the pitcher, getting as much juice as you can. I use my Grandmothers old glass juicer. Top off the pitcher with cold water, and stir. Taste, and adjust lemon juice or sugar if desired. Pour into tall glasses, pull up a bale of hay and watch the chickens run around the yard, and relax!

Can I move in Karyn?  I can almost smell this soap from here...mmmmm...

I could use some of this salve and I bet you could too.  I have incredibly dry, sensitive skin.  I'm always rubbing chap stick everywhere so this would be a more appropriate, and appealing way to remedy my dry skin situation.
