Tokens and Potions

Then I had a brainwave!! Why not combine my interest of many years in aromatherapy, herbalism and old wives "spellcraft" -and create fun items for unusual gifts.

Token hearts measure approx 12cm x 12cm at widest/longest points are made from a mixture of cotton and felt and filled with lavender unless specified. Lavender is known to have many properties including aiding restful sleep and purification. It can attract love and induce peacefulness.

"Good Valentine be kind to meIn dreams let me my true love see"This charm is filled with lavender and has a bay leaf in the pocket. The Bay tree has romantic connotations, Apollo fell in love with Daphne, who had resolved to remain a virgin, so her father turned her into a bay tree to protect her from Apollo.

"Bishy, Bishy BarnabeeTell me when my wedding day will be.If it be tomorrow dayTake your wings and fly awayFly to the East, fly to the WestFly to him I love the best"Now, of course I will not be using live ladybirds! But you will find a cute one attached. You can either find one to speak the rhyme to or just put the lavender filled heart under your pillow. Lavender has magical properties - think of a wish, put it under your pillow just before going to bed. if you dream of anything relating to your wish - it will come true. If your dream was not related then your wish will not be granted this time.
