I have several favorite lavender soaps, I personally enjoy the following: Crabtree and Evelyn , Essence De Provence, Williams and Sonoma and Lavender Moon Soap.
My favorite spa Lavender products are by Lavender Green, and Lavender oil by Sequim Farms.
As you might expect the soap and bath salts are both lavender products at the Angel at Rose Hall,your Eureka Springs vacation destination.
The Garden Bistro's Strawberry Lavender Soup
This recipe is best consumed if made the day before, which will allow the flavors to blend.

• 4 cups whipping cream, divided
• 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon• Pinch of nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla
1. Wash and stem your strawberries. Chop or slice them then reserve a few for garnish.
2. Puree berries in the food processor.
3. Add 1/2 cup cream and dried lavender flowers to chopped berries and puree. Chill. In a separate container, blend 3 cups, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla in a food processor.
5. Combine strawberry mixture and cream mixture.
6. Cover and chill.
7. Before serving, add more milk to thin the mixture to a desired soup consistancy. Garnish with a strawberry slice and dallop of whipped cream.
