Welcome to the wonderful world of Lavender Crafts
This webpage is to showcase my hand-crafted products that I produce right here in my kitchen in Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow.
My products include soap bars, body butters and lavender pillows & lavender sachets, while also reigniting my love of making candles!!
There are a few reasons I chose to base my range around the lavender, some that were easy and another that is more complicated answer!!
The easy answer is that I love its scent, I love the look of a field of lavender and of course purple is my favourite colour, which makes it the perfect match for me!
Another reason is that lavender is an age-old remedy for calming and soothing the nerves, improving mood and relaxing muscles. It can also be used to aid and induce restful sleep. Why wouldn’t you want to capture all that in some beautiful hand-crafted products!!
The more complicated answer is that I have suffered from social and general anxiety for most of my life and for a time I also added depression into the mix for a few years!! Individually they can be tough conditions to live with but all together they can be overwhelming!! So during that time, with the help of therapy and my fantastic family, I decided that I wanted to find a way to make an income for myself and try to achieve a life style that would positively impact my mental health!!
And so, Lavender Crafts was born...
My business is based on four key ideas!!
Lavender:
I have always adored lavender, it's just the most beautiful scent!! I also love to make handcrafted items so I decided to combine my two loves and Lavender Crafts was born!!
Natural Ingredients:
It turns out that I am allergic to some ingredients so it is important to me that my products are as natural as possible.
I make products that are full of skin loving ingredients and all products are palm oil free.
Eco Friendly Packaging:
From the start it was really important to me that my products are packaged as eco friendly as possible, this includes cardboard boxes and compostable bags to name a few!!
And Finally Giving Back:
I am giving €0.20 for every product sold this year to the amazing charity, Greystones Cancer Support!!
This is memory of my amazing Mum and other family & friends I have lost!!
I can't thank you enough for all your support in raising this money for this amazing charity!!!
