Bath salts ,Bananas , our nature table and a winner treasure find









Today was making bath salts day. Freedom of expression was the theme..Olivia roamed the garden wanting a rose scented salt with a touch of lemon verbena..I wish you could smell it...Brogan chose citrus, cloves and cinnamon to perfume her salts. Well, the boy being a boy chose bark and basil..yes and too my surprise created the most masculine aroma..I was quite shocked as i looked at this bath salt in the creation stages and really hoped he would not be disappointed...The boy has a nose. These bath salts will sit in our bathroom . Wooden spoons will be used to spoon out the salts to add to a lovely end of day bath.. We have just added our Winter nature table to our home. King Winter looking ever so dapper with his ruling rod..

I have been most happy with my banana crop. The banana flowers appear in groups called hands along the stem. We have not seen so many on our Banana trees. I am sure it has allot to do with all the Summer rain we have had. I tasted one yesterday and they are heavenly.. Another step closer to self sufficiency. I really do want this so much.

I have also gathered some vintage treasures this week..I just love this find.

A happy weekend to you all~
