POTPOURRI'S - NEED A FRESHEN UP?

Has your potpourri from last fall and winter become neglected?? Don't throw it out!! Just revive it!!

Simply add your favorite essential oils to your potpourri, shake or stir it up and you are ready to enjoy it again for several more weeks.

To me this is a time to experiment with new combinations and /or use up old oils that are about to expire.

Of course, you can buy new ingredients too, but why not freshen up what you already have?

For those that don't want to mess with that we do have cute little potpourri dishes. All you have to do with them is add a few cotton balls with your favorite scents dropped on them. Replace the cover and let the essential oils evaporate over time. (You can put potpourri petals, shavings, etc in the dishes too).

Here is a Flowery blend you can add to your Potpourri dish
Rosewood - 4 drops
Geranium - 3 drops
Grapefruit - 2 drops
Petitgrain - 2 drops
Palmarosa - 2 drops
Orange - 2 drops

Blend then drop onto the contents of your Potpourri dish.

Woodsy Potpourri Blend
Sandalwood - 4 drops
Patchouli - 3 drops
Benzoin - 2 drops
Nutmeg - 2 drops
Ylang Ylang - 3 drops
Lime - 3 drops

Blend and add to your Potpourri dish. Stir as needed. Refreshed as needed.
