Herb Sachets

It's a long time since I posted anything here and because of a couple of months severe IP problems (resulting in a change of provider and domain hosting) I've not updated my website either!!

However I've been pretty busy with new products - these little fine calico bags of mixed herbs and spices are drawer scenters. I've used recipes from an 1866 book of household hints.


Two bags fit nicely into the soapboxes, which Corrie of Lomond Soap organised in the spring, so I printed bands to go round them (it's a relief not to have to put all those INCI names on the labels). They've attracted quite a bit of interest at the monthly market over the summer but should make goodly stocking fillers for Christmas.

(I do keep meaning to try one in the bath and see whether it needs the appropriate EOs added for use as a bath sachet).

Eggs Are Not Just For Easter!

Egg shaped bath bombs in their own travelling box - got to be a goodly present at any time of year!

The fragrances are the same as the soaps in the blogpost below

New Soaps Online

Three new soaps on the Briallen site.


They are all fragranced with my own blends of essential oils: Green Angel is a herby/aniseedy one with Sweet Fennel, Khayyam is a rosy blend and Nos Da is a lavender based blend.

Khayyam is named after a damask rose; the original was found growing near the grave of Omar Khayyam and a cutting was plated on the grave of Eward Fitzgerald, who translated his work.

Nos Da is Welsh for Goodnight; when I made some bubbling bath bags with this blend of EOs the testers said it sent them to sleep (one whilst still in the bath).
