Lavender and Lilac
I just finished making two HUGE batches of potpourri.
One is lilac. There are lots of purple pink, green and while colors it. It's very pretty.
For the other batch, I forgot to order the jasmine scent. Duh! No harm though. I always have lavender essential oil on hand, so that is what the second batch became. It even has a lot of actual lavender in the mix. Perhaps it was meant to be. It also has a dash of pink and various shades of green.
I like the way they turned out. They will have to cure for about 4 to 6 weeks and then I will put bags of them for sale in my online shop.
Potpourri was super easy to make. If it sells well, I will keep it as an ongoing thing in my shop.
Crafting, how I love thee. Let me count the ways. LOL

It does smell great in here, ginger. :-) I think my customers will be pleased when it is ready. I will probably give a bit of it in Christmas gifts too. I've got plenty. lol

Hmmmmm. Luscious. Those are two of my favorites. MMI sent me lavender products and I always use them when I need a little comfort and calm. Your house must indeed be a garden. -

Mmm, just makes me get a warm shiver thinking about all those good smells! So, how did 16 lbs of potpourri come anyway? -

uni,
It does smell heavenly in here. :-)
woman,
It like springtime in here. Lavender is a staple essential oil I keep around. It's good for so many things. I use it every day.
fraggs,
LOL LOL LOL :-)
Hege,
It came in a big heavy box! The stuff expanded when I took it out of the packages. I ended up with two big tubs of potpourri after it was mixed up. :-) I giggled the whole time. I still do when I walk by them. :-)
freshness,
That's funny! :-)
