Did You Know? Questions and Answers and an FYI About Lavender Fields
We get a lot of questions by email and social media and wanted to answer some of the top questions on our blog for you. So lets go....
How long have you been in business?
We started Lavender Fields in 2001! So 16 years! We cannot believe how many years have past by already! We love our business and love our customers!
Do you have a retail shop?Yes we do! We are located in the charming historic town of Port Jefferson on the north shore of long island. We also call this town home and live minutes away from the shop in a historic home. Our home has been featured in Romantic Living Magazine a few times. Click here to take the tour of our home for the holidays.

Do you stand behind your products?
Yes we do! We personally hand select every vendor and every product. Before we work with a vendor we ask a lot of questions and look at the products and how they are made. Our home is filled with the products we sell so we do test our products!
Do you have any other shops?
No. But we did have a fun vintage shop in Ocean Grove New Jersey called Kitch and Kaboodle before we opened Lavender Fields.
Now a little about me you may have not known...
I am a single mom with a beautiful 9 year old daughter. Ava Rose was raised in our store so all the locals remember her from when she was a little baby. She now loves helping me in the shop and can often be found showing customers all of her favorite things. We live in a historic house in Port Jefferson village we which are lovingly restoring for years! We took a break from restoration work but will be back at it soon and will feature all our projects on the blog. I am a vegan and Ava is a vegetarian (almost vegan at this point). We love animals and have a wonderful fun dog named Harry who we rescued from a bad place in 2004 and we also have several funny cats their photos pop up now and then on our instagram feed. We also rescue cats and do tnr in our neighborhood. I am on the board of a non-profit called Port Jefferson Cat Care with my good friend and local natural doctor Doni Wilson. Visit our instagram page for more info pjcatcare.
I grew up traveling the world with my parents and sister so I have always had a love for travel and a love for finding unique products. My dad had a passion for antiques so we would often spend our time at antique markets and yard sales. We grew up going to a cabin in Smallwood, New York right outside of Bethel the site of Woodstock. We spent our summers in the country and loved it.
I am passionate about finding a cure for lyme disease. I contracted lyme on a hike in 1995 and went undiagnosed for years. I spend a lot of my free time trying to help others with lyme find the care they need. Ava and I both love art, music and yoga and you can find us in the yoga studio at least once a week and we practice at home daily. When we are not working, going to school or practicing yoga we are off creating something or taking a walk in our beautiful town.
I think that covers it! Glad to share a little of my history and answer some questions about Lavender Fields!
Lori and Ava Rose

Our favorite bedding...and we have a lot of favorites!
Bedding is our speciality and our passion. It always has been. I remember my mother having a passion for bedding and always changing her bedding for every season. So naturally I grew up wanting to do the same thing. With luxury bedding like Bella Notte Linens that is not always possible but what is possible is changing a few shams and pillows to give your bed a completely different look or adding a coverlet and throw. Our bedding lines work very well together. You can mix and match Bella Notte with Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic, Taylor Linens, Pom Pom at Home and Couture Dreams. We do it all the time. Beautiful Shabby Chic sheets and a Bella Notte Duvet looks lovely together. Then add a Pine Cone Hill throw and your all set. Throw in some gorgeous Couture Dreams curtains and your room is super dreamy!
