Sea Witch is back at Tynemouth Station Market this Saturday, 16th November - I hope you will find time to stop by and say hello if in the area. New this week are Jasmine and Chamomile botanical sachets, in antique linen and cotton prints from Morris & Co, Liberty of London and the Da Gama Company. These are a new blend - the chamomile flowers, as well as adding their own unearthly and stress-soothing fragrance, preserve the usually fleeting floral scent of the jasmine essential oil, in the same way as natural gums and fixatives such as orris root. Try them if you want to make a pot-pourri and don't have time to look for fixatives - the dried flowers are available at health food stores and can even be taken from herbal teabags bought at the supermarket!
I'll be adding these to the online shops next week.
Also new, for the Sea Witch's familiar:
William Morris 'Sweet Briar' catnip mice, with tails of cotton lace or handspun silk.
