Pre Order Prize Preview - Times Three!

We're almost done with the prizes, and I'm going to be putting several together today.  Possibly tomorrow too :-)  Very soon, we'll be back to our normal lives, posting informative things.  We're looking forward to that too.
This is our version of crowd-funding, in case you've been wondering.  Although we've been around for a long time, we're still a very small family business, and getting a huge book like this printed is a major deal for us.  We gritted our teeth, crossed our fingers, and announced that we'd be doing it, hoping we'd be able to sell and pay for them before delivery, when the bill comes due.  So that's why I (that's me, personally, Tina) have been so annoying this month.  We're very proud of this book, and the deal that we're offering is great, so get your copy before Nov. 10th.  www.essentialherbal.com

Today's prize previews:

First we have another prize from The Backyard Patch

A set of our new Salt-free dressing mixes.  We have 5 different mixes we will package as a set with recipes for additional uses.
Need them right now?  You can order them HERE

Next up, Lee's Teas
A miraculous marriage of Lees Teas All Natural Chocolate and Organic Herbal Peppermint teas - a truly invigorating pick-me-up treat Materials: organic peppermint, organic black tea, cacao nibs, cocoa shells, chocolate chips.  One ounce, 15-20 servings
Need it now?  Order it HERE

Lastly (today), another set of soaps:

3 Celtic Knot molded soaps.  One of a kind, because I pour them at the end of batches, so they are usually layered.  You can't order these - we made them just for the drawing.

Pre-Order drawing - The Essential Herbal

Today I get to preview one of the prizes I'll be offering for the November 10th drawing, where all those purchasing a copy of "Through the Seasons" are in the running for every prize we're showing all month long.  I didn't know I had these, but found a very small stack underneath the old typewriter.  So, there will be 5 winners of our first ever issue.  It isn't pretty, but it IS rare.  Only 200 were printed.
For the first couple of years, there were only 16 pages.  For the first issue (and only the first issue) there were three of us rolling out the magazine.  I was the only one really interested in continuing, and that was that.  As they say, "we've come a long way, baby!"

If you're not sure what any of this is all about...

It started as Sage Honey...

I know there are a lot of people who follow recipes, and I also know that I sometimes drive them crazy.  This is about to be one of those times.
It started out innocently enough.  I needed to drop something off at my sister's house, and as I walked out past her herb garden, the sage plant caught my eye.  It is gorgeous (especially compared to my wee little first year plant) and I just had to pick some of it.  "Sage honey," I thought.
By the time I got home 5 minutes later, lemons were in play as well as some echinacea roots that I dug last week.  Honestly, the honey may not extract anything from the roots, but there are so many that it seemed like something to try.  I put the items together, took a picture, and posted it to the facebook page.

Because of that, someone asked about adding ginger.  That's a great idea, except I have a full jar of ginger honey.  But ... maybe I'll go get some thyme in the garden!  This might be a good time to mention that while I was out there picking the Elfin thyme that has spread like a carpet under the vitex bush, some tiny animal (vole, mouse, chipmunk?) living under the nearby yucca was positively livid at my intrusion, and eventually he drove me off. 

As I passed the rosemary waving in the breeze, a few sprigs were pinched off and added to the mix.
Once inside, the thyme went into the bottom of the jar, some echinacea roots went on top, rosemary along the side.  Sage chopped and filled the bulk of the space, with sliced lemons on the sides and top.  The lemons work nicely to hold the herbs under the surface, by the way.
Then the thrill of pouring from a full quart jar of honey into a pint jar that is full of herbs.  That was touch and go, there for a while, but I grabbed a knife and helped it work down through the plant matter.
So there it is.  The recipe.  To me, this is the best part about working with herbs at home.  Measurements like, "fill a jar," "a handful," or "a bunch," really work just fine, for the most part.  That's right up my alley.  Now, I'd better label that jar while I still remember what's in it.

It will sit (probably in the refrigerator) for a month or so, until we need it to add to a tea for a cold or sore throat.  We *might* heat it a little and strain it, or we might just leave everything in there and spoon out the honey around the herbs.  We'll decide when the time comes.

A USB aromatherapy diffuser so that you can enjoy the benefits of essential oils while you work, wherever there's a port. 
- Great for people that work on laptops at offices, allergy sufferers, people travelling or any one that would like to cleanse the air around them while near a USB port.
This diffuser works by Ultrasonic diffusion to keep all of the essential oils properties.
Does not create a steady stream of mist like most regular diffusers but 13-60 second bursts of diffused essential oil. You won't have to worry about your neighbor sitting next to you complaining about the mist in his or her face.
