Lavender Love June 11 2014
Lavender grows like wild weeds around Bungalow36. It creates a calming effect to our visitors. There are many uses and meanings for lavender. It is said... that girls would tuck some lavender under their lover's pillow so their thoughts would turn to romance. Once married they would put some lavender under the mattress to ensure marital passion. For this particular bride she was in search of a signature drink to mirror the theme of her wedding. We created a lavender martini that was served to guests at the cocktail hour. We added fresh lavender leaves, a splash of orange and the sweetness of honey and raw sugar. The Martini was a hit!
Lavender Martini
1 wedge fresh orange
2 fresh lavender leaves
1 1/2 oz. Level vodka
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1/2 oz. Sweet & Sour mix

1 packet of sugar in the raw
Muddle orange wedge and lavender at the base of the shaker (or a mixer). Add vodka, Cointreau and sweet and sour mix over ice in the shaker. Shake well and strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.

PK STUDIOS June 02 2014
This guest has permanent residence here at Bungalow36. She creates the most beautiful pieces of jewelry and is an inspiration to Bungalow36. She took a class here and learned how to letterpress her own business cards.
The cards were printed on luxurious thick 100% cotton paper. It was decided to have the card be slightly larger than the regular business card size. This was a two color two sided card. The logo is a creation from a Mandala which Penny drew after an inspiring meditation. The PKStudios font was handwritten by her to give that truly handmade feel. The logo and font were scanned into a digital form to create a polymer plate for printing.
