My first shot at growing cabbage & so far they look Great!

Brown Sugar Body Scrub
NEW!
I just finished creating these Brown Sugar Scrubs & I LOVE them!
The fractionated coconut oil makes your skin smooth without feeling greasy~ It also doesn't go rancid like a lot of vegetable oils do. I've also added a subtle scent of Amber & Vanilla. A great exfoliating blend that is reasonable priced too :)

White Sage, Nasturtiums & Cabbage
Took a few minutes this morning to catch up on some weeding & check out the Garden~
Love the Red Cabbage leaves next to the Nasturtiums (so of course I took a picture)
Here's my 1st Harvest of the White Sage. They look Great!
Can't wait to Smudge with them :)

Mother Turkey came over to investigate who was taking the pictures~

Scooby
Thank-You~ to everyone that sent us positive thoughts & prayers for our Sweet Scooby.
Sadly, he passed away today and we are heartbroken.
But we are so grateful to have been blessed with such a wonderful companion~ We love him & will miss him terribly~
Thank you again, your compassion was a comfort to us and we let Scooby know how much people (strangers even) wished him well~

Tomato Leaf Soy Candles
When a wholesale customer of mine asked me to make her Tomato Leaf candles I thought that was the strangest request...but now that I've made them, I can understand~
WoW! They really smell like you just brushed up against a fresh tomato plant. I can't keep my nose out of the jar~ Of course I've been going around the shop, shoving a jar under everyone else's nose saying "can you believe it?! It smells just like a tomato plant"
Now these candles are a MUST in my Gardener's Gift Basket :)

Purple Pansies and Parsley
We found this rusty bowl-thing when we were digging for the pumpkin patch and I thought it would be a neat planter~
Here's some Purple Pansies and a Parsley plant (say that 3 times) I had bought at the grocery store way back in March. I just stuck everything in this rusty bowl and now it's our outdoor table centerpiece
