From the Garden: Herb Cleansing Bundles

 

Clearing your environment by burning herbs

Smoke cleansing is an ancient practice found in many cultures and faiths. Early written records of smoke cleansing come from the ancient Hindu texts written in Sanskrit. In the ancient world herbs were burned to create sweet-smelling smoke in their temples, homes and in the presence of illness. 

In New England local plant materials can be combined into a Smoke Cleansing Bundle.

Sage: Cleansing - Lavender: Calm - Rosemary: Clarity, memory, Cedar: Stress relief

Annisquam Arts & Crafts Show

Before the opening of the

2024 Annisquam Arts & Crafts Show

Each Season has it function here at the Annisquam Herb Farm, home of Annisquam Creations. In the Spring it is all about the gardens that are the source of raspberries, Concord grapes and figs for the preservers that are made in the Summer and Fall. Summer is for family and friends gathering and celebrating the warm weather and sunshine and tending the gardens. Fall the interests turn to Unfinished Projects - knitting, sewing and the ever present required maintenance. Winter is for reading, trying new recipes, more knitting and planning the gardens. The offerings at the Annisquam Arts & Crafts Show reflect all of these.

I have participated in this Show many years and have made friends with a few of the vendors that show up year after year with wonderful items to tempt one. Each year my items vary but include the preserves that fly off my table. this year there with over fifty new blank note cards to chose from plus hats from A Bee in Your Bonnet Collection.

What will next year bring?

PS: From Spring to October you will find some of the items at the Annisquam Exchange!

Dolls have been created without facial features since ancient times and are still being created today. The reasons are many. One was economic, another faith based and perhaps another was the skill required to make a face on a doll. Whatever the reason the dolls were and are treasured in Japan, Russia, the Dominican Republic, Canada and in the United States to name a few.
