Perfume of Lavender Buds Relaxes and
Refreshes
In the language of flowers, lavender symbolizes
LUCK WITH LOVE

• We filled our sachets and dolls with lavender
  buds from our garden
• Lavender is a shrubby plant indigenous to the
  mountainous regions of the countries bordering
  the eastern half of the Mediterranean, and
  cultivated extensively for its aromatic flowers
  in various parts of Turkiye.The fragrant oil to
  which the odour of Lavender flowers is due is a
  valuable article of commerce, much used in
  perfumery, and to a lesser extent in medicine.
  The fine aromatic smell is found in all parts of
  the shrub, but the essential oil is only produced
  from the flowers and flower-stalks. Besides being
  grown for the production of this oil, Lavender is
  widely sold in the fresh state as 'bunched
  Lavender,' and as 'dried Lavender,' the flowers
  are used powdered, for sachet making and also for
  pot-pourri.

Her name is Gül Bebek. She is my first lavender
doll. Her clothing is similar to central
Anatolian village women. A white cotton shirt, a
traditional kutnu dress instead of kutnu üç
etek and a hand embroidered apron. She has a
necklace made of fake golden coins and coloured
headscarves. Her arms are posable and she can be
redressed.

A Legend

• There is a legend about lavender dolls.
• "If you have a problem, then share it
• with a lavender doll . Before going to bed,
• tell your worry to the doll, After squeezing
• her gently place her beneath your pillow.
• Whilst you sleep, the doll will take your
• worries away leaving you with
• the most restfull dreams!"

These ladies are from south-east of Turkiye. They
are ready to attend a girls party given a day
before wedding. Their dresses and üçeteks are
made from a bright textile with shining
spangles over it.
They have a natural basket base instead of
their legs, so they are standing firmly.
