No doubt about who actually runs the apothecary! lol Wisteria!
I take a bit of time doing each one of my assignments…. there is just so much and it is presented in such a way my creative side takes over and I am inspired to do things like this….

I make recipe cards of the recipes of herbal tidbits.. And I also make little mini lessons to refer back to. These cards will help me make the cards I want to include in my portable kit as well as my home apothecary.
Part of the books I ordered for my dh to give me ;-)

Eric and I found all those herbal books while together at an antique store:) Nice they ended up in my basket! Lovely teas, and handcrafted soaps and some seeds! Oh my! I am so psyched to grow nicotiana! I can just smell it on a late June evening now…. dreamy:)
I will keep you posted with updates on how my herbal medicine chest progresses.
I gave Eric a pretty cool gift. If we all ask him nice, maybe he will start posting about it. I have given him blog permission;-)
Big hugs to all who visit Comfrey Cottages

Sorry about that first post. I hit enter too soon. I was saying, I got a couple of Matt Wood's herbals that I've been wanting for awhile.
My hubby got me a big new bookshelf for the holidays that will hold all my herbals and biology texts nicely in one place that matches my new to me desk.
I love the beginnings of your first aid kit. I had a great time putting mine together. I wish I could manage to run across some antique herbals someplace. I love old books.
Oh Stephany! That is so very nice! Yea for your hubby giving you a nice big bookshelf that matches your desk:) I will keep an eye out for any pictures you might share:) I am using amazon and amazon.u.k. and some happy perchances along the way for my books. I love old books too... xx
Did you ever see the link to the antique Culpepper's that I posted on facebook? It was gorgeous and far too expensive for me. Still, its nice to look.
No I didn't, Stephany! I imagine it was simply gorgeous:) Lovelies like that are well out of this granny/nanny's price range for sure. but like you, I still like to look:)
