How I love a sweet smelling home...especially when I can create it myself...is chemical free and ever so affordable. Below is a lovely scented homemade potpourri...that you can make in minutes...be sure to make extra for yourself...and store in a glass jar...and also give as a gift.
Potpourri gets its name from two French words...pot...which is the same in both languages and pourri...which means to rot.
You can simmer your blend on the stove...set it out in small bowls...or stuffed into pillows or sachets...either way... it is lovely.
