Alchemille's Garden - February 2010 Newsletter

Dear Friends,

Spring is approaching slowly but surely and we are already celebrating its arrival at Alchemille's Garden!

*TEA SELECTION OF THE MONTH*: LOVE POTION

To celebrate Love, not only at Valentine's Day but all year long!

The Love Potion is a blend of pesticide-free rose petals, pesticide-free jasmine blossoms, organic lavender & organic cinnamon.

For the new season, I also recommend the following teas:

1. Madame Butterfly: a blend of white tea with lilac, pesticide-free rose petals & pesticide-free jasmine blossoms.
2. Morning by the Countryside: 100% organic, caffeine free and hand blended with organic lemon thyme, organic spearmint, organic sweet marjoram, organic basil and organic rosehips (And a personal favorite that deserves to be better known!)
3. Cottage Fairy Blend: organic spearmint, organic sweet marjoram, organic lemon verbena and pesticide-free rose petals.

All these teas (and more) can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Alchemille?section_id=5096792

*FAIRY BEAUTY & SPRING BODYCARE*:

1. Calendula Spring Balm: a natural lip balm that protects and moisturizes your lips. The Spring balm is herbally infused with calendula, which is one of the most gentle & healing herbs an herbalist can have ;).
2. The Dryad Cream: inspired by the Dryads, which are tree nymphs/female tree spirits in the Greek Mythology. Handmade with organic sweet almond oil, plum kernel oil, wildcrafted mango butter, unrefined beeswax, organic aloe vera gel & vitamin E (a natural antioxidant & preservative). This cream has a natural almondy scent that I love!
3. Spring Fairy Facial Elixir: this wonderful facial oil contains sunflower oil, camellia oil, organic rosehip seed oil, plum kernel oil and a touch of vitamin E (natural preservative and antioxidant).
