Wafts of Citrus and Spice

The past couple of days have been filled with lots of soap wrapping, as I'm getting ready for the show. My newest soap, St. Clements, will be making it's debut. It has essential oils of sweet orange, mandarin, clementine, lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove in it. With a bit of cinnamon and lemon zest thrown in for good measure. It smells just right for this time of year. The name comes from a line in an old English nursery rhyme: "Oranges and lemons, rang the bells of St. Clements". If you're in the Greensboro area on Saturday, come on by, shop local & make sure to enter for doorprizes.

A Fragrant Monday

It's a busy time, here in my neck of the woods. The potters are loading and unloading their kilns, getting ready for this weekend's Celebration. I'm getting ready for Saturday's Pre-Holiday Market at the Forest Oaks Country Club in Greensboro. I've been up since before the sun this morning, making fragrant lavender sachets. I've been pondering making a few sachets with rosemary, eucalyptus and peppermint from the garden, to use as natural air fresheners in the car or elsewhere. Maybe I'll use some of the coffee bean burlap for this. I'll be listing the sachets in my shop, though it may not happen until after the Market. What crafty goodness are you up to this week?
