{Party Palette} Lavender + Lace

Today's post is inspired by a little trip I took to a local lavender festival.  Lavender is such a magical little flower that touches all the senses.  The delicate little buds are not only beautiful to look at and have the most intoxicating fragrance, they also have the power to soothe and relax.  You can also cook with it.  It truly is a magical flower.  I have one lavender plant in my garden that has exploded this year and I would like to have an entire row of lavender in my garden one day, but until then I will dream about lavender. 

I adore the idea of a feminine theme like lavender and lace for a bridal shower, wedding or even a ladies luncheon.  We have pictured below some lavender white chocolate chip cookies from our blogger friend Chelsea over at Chelsea's Culinary Indulgence.  She also have a great summer recipe for strawberry lavender ice cream.  Please also be sure to check out the Michigan made Little Flower Soap Co. too.
