Do you know about the Extra?

I don't usually post about our EXTRA! but you should know about this if you aren't a subscriber.  It might just be one of those unintended best kept secrets.

While the regular magazine comes out every other month, we send the exclusive EXTRA! in between.  That way, readers get something on the 20th of every month.

We have put some pretty special content in the Extra!, and they are not available to anyone who isn't a subscriber.  We did a  compilation of the first couple of years, but non-subscribers had to wait.  They also don't get the videos we did (for better or worse hahaha).

If you aren't a subscriber, you can SUBSCRIBE here, and also look back over some back issues to see what we do.  There are some samples to read on the website too.


In this issue, we included a crossword puzzle (that's pretty standard) about herbs, a book excerpt about plant communication from Jen Frey...

how to blend a tea that can be used to soak in AND to drink, and a delicious way to use chickweed and garlic scapes.

The EXTRA! is always smaller than the regular issue.  Originally we thought it would be one recipe or a puzzle or a little video, but so far we haven't run out of things to say, and it's been more than we had intended.  We don't seem to run out of things to write about.

Don't miss out!  Order your subscription today.  You'll still get this Extra! up until June 19, and the Jul/Aug regular issue comes out June 20, 2023.

New Eco-Printed/Dyed Items on the Site!

 The past couple of summers, I haven't kept the website up with our new work, instead holding it back for the shows we do.  Currently we're only planning on 3 more shows this season. 
I will disable the eco-print section of the website for a few days around each show because everything is one of a kind.  That means that everything will be pretty much up to date, and we don't hoard it for shows.  There should new things going up every week or so.

You'll find them listed here - https://essentialherbal.com/collections/scarves

Here's some of the new stuff:


We have a few onesies up, and expect to add to them:





We just started working with socks...


We have cards, and there will be new ones soon.

We'll have tote bags shortly too!  We're having too much fun.

If you're looking for something special for someone special, we have got you covered!  The scarves have been purchased for table-coverings, wall-hangings, and various things other than "just" scarves. 
Come have a look!
