Welcome to Spring everyone! It is a great time for many things like a detox, spring cleaning, planting new items in your garden and of course - dying eggs!
Camille and Dan dyed eggs last night in a new way (well, new for us anyway...)! Check out the pictures below as the wrap eggs in cool colored silk ties and then again in white fabric tying tightly. The eggs then sat for about 20 minutes in simmering water with a touch of white vinegar added. After cooling they were unwrapped and there you have beautiful eggs! We did them on white eggs this time but will add some more using brown eggs for a different effect. I also added some pictures of Camille's incubator where she has a few eggs that she is trying to hatch - she turns them twice a day and candle's them every day to check for signs of life. Lets hope for little cheepers!! The picture shows only half the eggs - she now has about 25 going. One more thing - please bear with me as I make some minor changes to this site. After Easter is over I will be adding new items and will also be making some changes to the Apothecary Shop to make it easier to shop! Happy Spring/Easter/Ostara to all!

I can be reached by email summitvalleyherbals@gmail.com and even on Facebook! www.facebook.com/summitvalleyherbals I really hope to see you there and it is great for all ages to please bring your family and friends and check out, in person, my 100% natural products and educational informat Lemon Verbena Poppy Seed "Camille's Castile". Guess who got a new camera???? Go ahead...guess! Yup - I did! I am quite excited because my other one, though it served me well for quite a few years, now has to be retired as it refuses to be consistent and does not always turn on. The new one is really nice and has lots of easy features that will help the extreme novice, like myself, take great pictures! (Thanks Dan! XOXO) I am showing the first picture I took above. It is of a new soap that I am debuting at my Summit Valley Herbals Spring Open House. This open house is taking place on 3/24/13 at 840 Putnam Pike at the Glocester Dance Academy studio. I will be having lots of new items and samples and treats so please come by!!! Feel free to visit my Facebook page for details and "like" the page for future updates on new items and contest giveaways! http://www.facebook.com/summitvalleyherbals Also, spring is right around the corner so start your seeds and plan your garden! Now is a great time to start thinking about your spring cleaning with natural cleaners for your home. Take the peels from your organic orange, put them in a jar and cover with white vinegar. Leave in sunny spot for at least two weeks and strain into a spray bottle and use as your all-purpose cleaner. Stay tuned as the weather gets better - more projects from Dan and pictures on their way! Oh, don't forget to turn your clocks ahead on Saturday evening! Yes, it is the dreaded "I just lost an hour of my sleep" time! |
