Giveaway Reminder and a Rose Powder recipe...

Hello everyone.. 

Welcome to the Blessed Hearth tonight.. 

I am afraid this Friday night has not turned out as we planned.  

We were expecting the Keepers of the Home tonight for our annual over niter but circumstances interfered.. 

I have been sort of laid low with a bad Summer cold and could not get my act together...

Also, my Mom was taken to the hospital for infection and with all that we decided to postpone it for a bit..

Hopefully in a week or two we will be able to succeed.. 

smile.. 

Anyway, just sharing a few pics of the House of Henry and the dear little village of St. Martins that we summer away in... 

I hope you will enjoy... 

I wondered if you would like to make some of your own rose powder .... 

Roses are plentiful right now so it is a good time to try some..

ROSE POWDER RECIPE 

In a plastic tub with a lid add the following...

1 cup of baking powder

1 cup of arrowroot 

Whisk together well and then add some rose petals... 

Put your cover back on and each day shake them about.. 

You can double this recipe if you like.. 

In a couple of weeks sieve out the rose petals and add several drops of rose essential oil... 

Rub each drop in with your fingers until well distributed... 

Keep covered ... 

A lovely gift for your gift pantry if you put it in a jar and perhaps add an antique shaker or puff... 

Now here are some pics I took on a little drive through the village.

St. Martins, New Brunswick in Eastern Canada... 

Thank you for dropping by.. 

I did want to thank you all for signing up for the little give away.. 

You can sign up HERE...

And I am sorry that I could not show you what I did with the roses and Queen Anne's Lace.. The batteries in my camera died and I could not find my other ones.. 

So... I will do that tomorrow night hopefully... 

So happy you stopped by and I am looking forward to hearing from you all... 

Have a blessed weekend...
