Herbal Homecoming

I'm very excited to be at the Herbal Homecoming on Saturday August 5th. It will be held at the Dandelion Communitea Cafe. This is their new home for Herbal studies. I will be demonstrating herbal incense. I make incense by grounding up herbs and using a tree resin for the combustible agent. There are no chemicals involved. I then make it portable by putting it in capsules. Please check out my website if you want to see what they look like. This will give me a great opportunity to market my incense. I am very interested in taking some of the courses that Florida School of Herb Studies offers, it will help increase my knowledge of herbs and perhaps I'll venture into making my own oils someday. Hope you get a chance to check out the Dandelion Cafe and the School.

New candle molds



I've been playing around with a few new candle molds. These are silicone and I like the fact they have a lot of detailed work in them. So for a while I'll add these to my list and see what sales. These are floating candles and I have had some people ask me if I made them. Take a look and let me know what you think.

France

Well I'm starting to plan my vacation for next year. We are heading off to France. One week in Paris and one week in the Loire Valley. I am doing a lot of research. I found an apartment in Pairs which is a lot cheaper than a hotel room. I am still suprise by how expensive this trip is going to be. It will be worth it. This time my Dad is not going as he is heading off to Alaska instead. Mom is going and I am planning lots of trips to gardens. I'll post later where we are going to stay in the Loire Valley. I found a little cottage that looks so cool.
