It is cold here in Florida tonight. Actually might have to bundle up in the morning. It feels good and making the upcoming Halloween Feel more like fall. Lovin it to bits.
I wanted to post a recipe this was one my mother did for years for craft shows So yummy smelling one of my favorites and I was thinking it might a nice addition for a seller for you all that do craft shows or gift shoppes. Or just make up a batch and make some pretty little bags with ribbons as Thank you enclosures for you customers you mail orders to this year.
Have a beautiful day!!
Mom's Christmas Potpourri
1 gallon small 2" pieces of mixed evergreens up to 5 is great!!
1 quart small pinecone's
1 to 2 cups dried orange peels
1 cup cinnamon sticks broken
1 cup of whole cloves
1 cup coarse rock salt
1 cup dried berries or flowers
1/2 cup of whole allspice
10 to 20 drops of cinnamon oil
In a large bowl toss together first 8 ingredients. Sprinkle with drops of cinnamon oil, toss again to mix well.
You can put these in large clear baggies to sell I believe we used 1 quart bags. Add a little note to say Christmas potpourri, use in a bowl, or cut some holes to release scent
Or just put some in a bowl to sell.
Put some by your area of checkout and open one bag......people will grab them up!!
I add glitter sometimes to the mix too.
You can always add a nice Thank you tag to each bag :)

Hi there I was looking through your blog and I like it, so I would like you to come and visit my blog here in San Diego.
I want you to come by and enjoy the different labels and music videos I have with the many artistic elements I use in my art blog.
See you soon :)
Hey Annette!!!
Aaaah, I can imagine the smell of your potpourri from here!..lol..
Do you know of a source for the supplies for your potpourri recipe??
the greens in particular...
I live in an area with deciduous trees,(oak,hickory) very few evergreens!!
This would be great sewn up in ticking with a Chrissy image stitched to the front!!;-)
Me too Kristine Florida not much here. :) This is when you ask someone you know up north willing to take a flat rate box and fill it up for you. Also sometimes can find Fresh Evergreen wreaths near Thanksgiving about a 18" wreath is about a gallon :)
I also have a Spice potpourri I will be putting up tomorrow :) uses cinnamon sticks and a good one for us that live in the South and you need oranges :)
Have a beautiful day
Annette
Hey Annette.....Love the Christmas new look!! :) Thanks for the potpourri recipe.....sounds wonderful. This is my first Southern Christmas after 44 in Illinois. Should smell like home!! I AM looking forward to a warm and snow FREE Christmas this year. Not so sure about the snowman collection in South Georgia though!! LOL Shelly
