Follow the Fairy Sign

We are anticipating spring and all its beauty, mystery and warmer days.

I thought I would share a few pictures of what I look so forward to in the summer.
Flowers, Ferns and Fae. If you can get out of your adult mind and into your child mind
you will be able to see them! If you cannot see them in these photos then follow on.

Lavender Love

I do love the calming scent of Lavender in my wash closet after I've cleaned! These lavender soft scrubbers really work on tough stains for old & new tubs and sinks but they don't leave those unbreathable fumes in your air, just a lavender meadow! Summer Kitchen Girls tested these and I do believe they are in lavender heaven!

Herb Garden in a Bottle

This last day of January was cold & 'drifty' to say the least, but my herb ladies made it out to make 'Herb Garden' air fresheners & an herbal cutical cream. So fun to get together when it's this cold outside! As we sipped some Lavender Mint Tea and got to chatting I think we all agreed, without saying that we are ready for spring, or at least some early spring air freshening!

Herb Garden Natural Air Freshener

1tsp. baking soda

1tsp. lemon juice

2 cups hot water (slightly cooled)

few drops essential oils of Lavender, Rosemary & Sage

Mix together to disolve baking soda, add oils & fill

decorative spray bottles. Labeled so you don't forget what is in it!

Shake well before freshening the air! Breath and say Ahhhhh!

Our next herb seminar is Feb 7th at 3pm. We were trying to get couples to come to this one but some guys just won't budge! Hey guys, we are doing this for you! Making Herbal Theraputic Massage oils and body candy.....I don't know what else I can add! How about some wonderful appetizers, nice music, and chocolate truffles. No? Well girls I guess it is all for us!!

Sign up anytime now until Friday and bring a friend!

Gifts from the Garden

Budda would agree that these super moisturizing hand salves will help tame the winter drying of the hands and feet. This is Comfrey,Calendula & Lavender salve. Essential to any gardener or hard hand working individual! The wreath is a wild mix of soft yellow mustard, natural eucalyptus, large leaf ivy, and lots of soft green fern-I am going to add artichokes and lemons to this one!

I created these Chocolate Mint & Lavender Lip Balms to help my chocolate cravings. It didn't work! I still want the real thing! These are so nice this time of year - to give to a friend for Valentines Day!

Hot February Reds can kick those January Blues!

I can feel the love!

Herbal Remedy #1 Curing the SAD

Getting those winter gloomies? Make sure you take your vitamin D!
I like to take the good stuff - Cod Liver Oil! Oh yeah, this stuff works wonders. You just have to make sure you brush and floss and listermint your face before going out!!!
If you do have symptoms of SAD you can take herbal supplements that will help with your mood, lay in a tanning bed for light therapy (10 minutes) or you can do what I do and look at great photos of foliage, flowers and fun days at the beach! And if you're just bored then sign up for a Herb Class!
See dates and times in our Seminars section.

Here is Feathery Fern in my kitchen window hiding out, staying warm and cozy!

Lots more fae to be seen this year in our shop!
