Smells Like Christmas !

It's beginning to smell alot like Christmas !
We love Old fashioned Homemade Spice Simmering Potpourris.
Natural air fresheners that fill the home with comforting aromas that will remind you of grandmas kitchen!
What a
True Primitive Art of Recycling straight from your
Kitchen Cupboards
and Flower and Herb Gardens.










 You can combine various spices from your pantry with apple slices or my fav - apple peels & the cores for an Apple Pie scent.


Use slices of oranges and cinammon sticks for Orange Marmalade Scent
Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie aroma
tiny putkas with pumpkin pie spices.




Always save your Rose petals and Rose hips!  Love this Blooming Fragrance combined with drop or two of rose oil and almond extract!
Stovetop Simmer style or Electric Crockpot Simmer Style

I prefer the old fashioned way of simmering straight from the stove top!
Thinking of throwing that old pan or teapot away? Recycle for your simmering holiday scents!
