While I was in college I worked at Babycakes, the cutest coffee shop in downtown Marquette. We were in need of dried lavender to make a simple syrup for our espresso drinks and various baked goods. I volunteered to walk over to the Spice Merchants everytime we needed more. That's where I met “Lav Boy”. The extremely kind, personable, and handsome man that would have me swept up in conversation for hours. The visits became more and more frequent as I would purposely get less and less lavender each visit. The rest is history!
