You could hang some upside down to dry it, then take off the ends (purple seedy parts) and put them into a sachet for your linen drawers.
Lucky girl! I looooove lavender!

I have used it fresh in cooking. A little goes a long way & I usually mix it with sage & parsley. I've added it to pasta salads, ground meat for meatloaf or meatballs & omlettes.

We went to France and the house we were in had bunches of lavender all around the house (dried) it was very nice but a little messy.

I have a Cuisinart as well and I love, love, love this book. I've made tons of these recipes and they are great. Lots of variations on basic flavors and the sorbets are fantastic. I highly recommend it. There's a lavender ice cream recipe in there as well.
