Spring Is Here!

Spring is here in Middle TN. We survived the wild March storms, the daffodils are blooming, and whenever I step outside I hear birdsong. In honor of “April Showers” we are putting our entire collection of Hydrosols/hydrolats on special sale this month, including some wondrous new additions!

Save 10% on retail sizes of our Full Collection of Hydrosols. (1 and 4 fl oz atomizers.)

New Products

My very favorite Lavender, Avice Hill, from an organic grower/distiller in the US, at a tremendous savings compared to our last tiny batch. (hint, I bought lots!). We have not had time to test this batch for you, but past experience shows that Avice Hill is higher in esters (hence more relaxing) than any Lavender we offer. And aromatically? I adore it. It smells a bit spicy, not the familiar lavender aroma, fresh, a bit earthy, a sheer delight. A complex perfume in and of itself, and for a “go to sleep” oil, other than Roman or Cape Chamomile, nothing is more relaxing. ENJOY while it lasts! (If you buy it all, she will plant extra for us next summer... just a subtle hint.)

An AMAZING distilled Ginger Oil from my friend Marco Valuzzi. This one is so extraordinary it’s in our Private Reserve collection. (We only have a little so you don’t want to delay. I made the mistake of telling a Chinese wholesale client about it, and he ordered almost all of it. We wil be restocking, but that takes time.)

A delightful, sparkling Lemongrass, Cymbopogen flexuousis, from Guatamala.

Sharing Forward: Charity of the Quarter

Please continue to give to support the important work being done by Midwives on Missions of Service. Trish Ross and Christi McManus and their team are preparing for another trip Sierra Leone as I type. Because our offer to match your donations for the Nepal disaster relief was so successful, rather than giving a set percentage of our sales, we are going to base our support for MOMS on YOUR support for them. That’s right. We will match every donation you make via our shopping cart.

Hint of the Day

Never, ever, use essential oils on cats. They are unable to metabolize these powerful oils which can be toxic and even deadly.
