Salt, Cement and Seeds...Oh My!

Greetings Friends! At my house, gathering to watch It's a Wonderful Life was a Christmas tradition. Now, you may be wondering why I am bringing up holiday traditions in the heat of July. The classic movie is chock-full of wonderful quotes and one of my favorites is from Donna Reed's character, Mary. "Bread that this house may never know hunger, wine that joy and prosperity may reign and salt that life may always have flavor." Don't you love it? Today I'm sharing several of my latest garden projects and the first is--you guessed it--salt!

Rosemary salt, that is. It's that time of summer when I begin the process of harvesting herbs for drying. This year, I've added my organic rosemary to natural sea salt to concoct a flavorful blend that I'm quite proud of. It's available in these 4 oz canning jars and I even created a pretty custom label. They're the perfect size as a "pinch" jar. For the first week, I'm offering an introductory price of $5 per jar--no coupon is needed, just click here! My special salt blend is mixed fresh upon order, so for anyone interested in taking advantage of the sale price for Christmas presents, go ahead and order the desired number and if you prefer, I can schedule shipping closer to the holidays. {I schedule and ship wedding orders the same way.}

Speaking of weddings, I've been working with a few brides to create these sweet wedding favors.. They are also available with a classic monogram seal.

Once upon a time, prior to blogging and even before Secret Garden Herbs, I crafted these hand stamped concrete garden stones for my own garden and for Christmas gifts one year. I've really enjoyed mine--the oregano stone is actually about ten years old and I love its weathered patina. Stones can be personalized with any herb, veggie or flower name or the date or other sentiment to commemorate a special event. Wouldn't it be fun to add the name of each child or grandchild? They are available in natural or terracotta small, medium and  large.

When my dear friend lost her beloved little dog recently, I made her a simple memorial stone. This turned out to be even more meaningful to her than I could have imagined. Unknown to me, she had actually looked into purchasing something similar but was shocked to discover how expensive pet memorials can be. 

With that in mind, I decided to offer these as a simple alternative for those desiring to honor pets that have passed. They are available in natural or terracotta, medium or large.

Last, there are several types of seeds available from my garden: Moon Flower, Basil and Blue Sage.  All seeds include free shipping!
