This and that...

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!
