What a lovely little e-booklet! It's beautiful, but more than that, it gives wonderful ideas for creating your own chartuerie board. I host classes, and if they are during the lunch or dinner hour, I like to serve a simple meal. This will be perfect, especially because I'll be able to accommodate the various food sensitivities my students often have!
I used comfrey in my salve and it's awesome thank you for the best.
Absolutely delicious. The blend absolutely tastes like a big ol hug from your grandmama.
After learning about tea bags containing plastic I made the switch to loose leaf tea. I knew right away where to get it. Farmhouse Teas English Breakfast is delicious and reminds me of England. I literally drink it every single morning.
light soothing tea, perfect for nighttime tea before bed
I really enjoy this tea when I get cozy at night with a blanket and a good book. It will be a winter favorite.
Some very interesting gifts that look fairly simple and fun to make. Reminds me a lot of homemade gifts we received when I was a child. Hand made gifts are special!
A nice simple easy to use book using common things one already has. A great way to learn more about herbs. These are easy recipes one can incorporate into their life.
This is a great option when you'd like to try different flavorings and not sure what you might like. The flavor packs or trial samplers have been a great go-to for me. Thank you!
The product arrived in perfect shape and has been several batches of kombucha. I was well pleased with this purchase.
