Cute Stationary
I should use the professional looking stationary for Botanical Earth when writing customers notes, but I just love the designs of Nut and Bee’s Sprout Sprout. And now, Annette has come up with an adorable new collection…so get ready to see the cute little Bluebirds and Windflowers - I just placed an order this afternoon. The design is brand new along with several other adorably cute new characters that you can see on her site, Nut and Bee. Shipping is really fast too ...
Cleaning Copper the Eco-friendly Way
A friend was over the other day and had never seen this done. I clean my copper bottom pots like this all the time with salt and lemon juice around the house. #1 - Start with something that needs to be cleaned. I’m using one of my sauce pans. Since I do this all the time, the build up isn’t too heavy. I do wash the pan first with soap and water to remove any grease film or burnt build ...

Morning Walk
I love to go walking in the woods around 9 in the morning. By then I will have made the soap for the day, try to answer all the emails and set up the orders to pack up for the mail drop. It's usually peaceful as all the neighbors have left for work and the birds are still chirpping One of the flowers blooming right now are the spiderworts. I wildcraft these pretty blue flowers and use them in pocket mirrors ...

LED blouses, cute knitted robots and a battle hauberk…It’s just a bit passed midnight on Monday…late Sunday night should I say? Four batches of soap in the molds with 3 more still to go. I must admit I goofed off this afternoon and actually saw my husband! There are times I wonder if I will ever see Colin (he currently is up at the house sleeping while I work!) as the exciting world of hand... [Read more of this review]
Halloween Crafty DiningOK, I know Botanical Earth isn’t a cooking site, but I just had to share these Halloween ideas for your next party! It’s not for the faint of dining I warn you. I found this through the ever humorous NotMartha.org blog Oct. 12th post. While I subscribe to ReadyMade Magazine personally, I didn’t know their blog had such options for dining...
