Organic Potpourri!

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

For anyone who knows me, you will know I have been on a quest for some time now to re-hab potpourri’s image.  Usually, when I tell someone that I’ve been working on it, I’m lucky if the person just says ‘huh…?’  Often enough, there’s outright derision.  Well, to prove to all those nay-sayers that potpourri can be as beautiful, enticing and complex, here at long last is skinnyskinny’s first entry into the potpourri world: Organic Lavender & Sage Potpourri.

All of the ingredients in this blend are certified organic.  It’s made from lavender buds, white ceremonial sage, lemons and limes (that we cut and dried ourselves), roses, birds’ eye chili peppers, and lots of other little goodies.  This potpourri is great as a room freshener or in sachets.  The scent is strong and well-balanced.  It’s not overly cloying or perfume-y.  It’s really lovely.   And it can be yours very very soon, basically as soon as it gets added to our site.

UPDATE: It is done.  Go here to get your own.  And say good-bye to cinnamon and pine cones in your potpourri.  We’ll be adding our superb Orange and Fennel potpourri tomorrow.  Just wait til you see (and smell) that one.  It’s gorgeous all around.
