My mission today is to make as many of my scented Potpourri lace balls as I can.
I have a large tote full of dried flowers and a bag-full just from las Summer to mix in there.
Every year--I add gallons of dried petals....There is so much in the garden that can be dried--starting in the Spring with Roses and Peonies and ending in the fall with cut up leaves of colorful Coleus, small mum blooms and any other flower still hanging on.
I do not use any "fillers", but something small would be nice...like those itsy bitsy pine cones that Hemlocks make....seed pods, etc.

I buy pretty lace curtains at thrift stores and cut them into squares....line them with some tule to keep any chaff from sifting through, fill them with a hand-full of the dried flowers and tie it tight with pretty spool ribbons. Then I glue-gun a small silk flower over the knot--and, voila!

Before I give these away, I scent them with Potpourri Oil. Nice gift.....

Here is a picture from long ago....
