Guided by the rose fairy, the chamomile fairy, and other whimsical creatures of the garden and woodlands, readers will explore the aromatic world of herbs, flowers, and essential oils. Creating Fairy Garden Fragrances skillfully combines inspiring tales about nature with practical information about the uses, preservation, and rejuvenating properties of herb and flower blends. The book`s second section offers step-by-step instructions for gathering and drying plants, mixing in essential oils, and creating bewitching herbal blends. Grouped by season, recipes include spring`s Dance of the Morning Nymphs, made from primrose, lavender, and wood sorrel; late summer`s fragrant Pan`s Song, a romantic combination of pink roses, lavender, and hyacinth; spicy, exotic All Hallow`s Eve for fall; and winter`s Christmas Magick, a blend of cedar, deep red rose buds, pomegranate stars, bergamot, and gilded pinecones. Creative uses and gift packaging ideas are suggested for each mixture, along with fairy and herbal lore, poetry, popular fairy legends, and imaginative stories of the seasons.
