Lavender is one of my favorite flowers. My mom has always had the most gorgeous giant bushes of it, and that sweet summer smell takes me right back home. The design inspiration also comes from the song Lavender’s Blue. It’s a 17th-century English folk song, but I learned it by way of Nancy Cassidy on one of the Kid Songs albums when I was little. Burl Ives also has a lovely version.
The lavender design on this mug is hand-carved. I love carving into clay and the feeling of running your fingers across the etched in lines on a finished piece.
Food, dishwasher, and microwave safe, but I recommend washing by hand and limited microwaving.
