If you will google "bulk lavendar buds" you'll find many resources for purchasing them. Just keep in mind that they do not weigh much and 1 lb. goes a l-o-n-g way!
I've used them for years mixed with a little cedar shavings, and maybe other things like lemon peel, broken cinnamon stick, peppermint, rosemary, whole cloves. These I mix and place in little muslin "tea bags" which I also purchased years ago from Whole Foods Market for about $.20 a piece (so much easier than sewing the little things for me!)
A bag goes into every box that stores my fabric, scraps, strips, waiting projects; even stuffed between the stacks of fabrics on shelves. Also in my sweaters and out of season clothing boxes. Very rarely do I get a musty smell with old fabric.
