It’s h...Oh wow, that is quite the expanse of herbs! It’s handy to have all your medicinal herbs ready and stored in charming cabinets like these. You never know when you might need them. A lot of people are wary of using herbs for medicine, but they’ve been proven to be reliable. Good luck with your apothecary. It looks like you’re off to a great start!Katelin Mccaighttp://stores.homestead.com/natureswonders/-strse-template/policy/Page.boknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-16315452875128782132010-11-26T15:41:36.245-06:002010-11-26T15:41:36.245-06:00I was so fortunate with the cabinets, Brigitte.

My husband gave me the glass fronted one, my daugher gave me the pinkish one, (she wasn't using it), the other ones I found for very reasonable prices ( around $20 each) used:) <br />Your cool chest sounds just perfect for all the oils, butters etc! Maybe share a picture sometime, please? ;0<br />Your willow cot/ herb basket/ playhouse, is the sort of thing that brings special medicine of its own into your apothecary:) The lovely family history and uses are magical! Thank you for sharing about it! I would love to see it also! There might be pictures already, on your blog, I will look around more:) I could get lost for hours enjoying all you have shared.<br />Big herbal hugs to you and thank you for visiting Comfrey Cottages xxComfrey Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-4961550228368915472010-11-26T03:57:50.804-06:002010-11-26T03:57:50.804-06:00What lovely cabinets you have!
Since living in New...What lovely cabinets you have!<br />Since living in New Zealand I haven't had my herbal stuff at one spot but spread out over so many places...<br />A few months ago I finally bought a big chest for some stuff like tools and ingredients for tinctures and creams. It is amazing, but this chest has a constant cool temperature no matter what the room temperature is.<br />This is great for tinctures, oils, butters and I am now looking forward to find such a lovely cabinet like yours for all my dried herbs which are slumbering in paper bags in a huge basket (my kids sometimes use this enormous big basket as a play house!)<br />The basket it self is made of willow and was my cot when I was a baby :-)<br /><br />Herbal hugs and thank you for inviting us into your lovely apothecary!<br />BrigitteBrigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784255607628965991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-36697127609515760612010-11-19T06:45:41.901-06:002010-11-19T06:45:41.901-06:00Oh Nancy, with all the herbal jellies and goodies ...Oh Nancy, with all the herbal jellies and goodies you make, I think you NEED that jelly cabinet!Comfrey Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-43223411932348367892010-11-18T20:14:41.092-06:002010-11-18T20:14:41.092-06:00Love, love, love the cabinet.

I try to keep them on separate shelves, but since the bottles are often three thick and the jars of dried herbs and oils are often two layers high it is sometimes difficult to find everything!When I hold workshops at the house, I often have people asking shyly if they can "visit the larder". I bet you'll have people asking the same question about your cabinets!Sarah Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975928642943693605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-41775683894561390652010-11-14T21:06:19.120-06:002010-11-14T21:06:19.120-06:00Hey bro, if I had any empty liquor bottles that ha...Hey bro, if I had any empty liquor bottles that had been used for drinking instead of medicine making, I can bout bet you would have helped me empty them!! lol love yaComfrey Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-45580007816641684512010-11-14T19:45:41.670-06:002010-11-14T19:45:41.670-06:00I'm so glad Leslie didn't open her liquor ...I'm so glad Leslie didn't open her liquor cabinet.

I still need to start on my kit that I had order, but like you too many irons in the fire. I have been making a to do list every day which seems to help a lot. Must be this old age thing with me as I get distracted with all the irons!! I look forward to seeing what else you will be doing, and thanks for posting it!<br />Take Care,<br />Ulrike*Ulrike*https://www.blogger.com/profile/15640965012612927392noreply@blogger.com
