POTPOURRI

 Anne Tucker Fettner, Hutchinson 1983.

Beautiful bowls of scented flowers of dried flowers are ornamental in any room the year round.

Potpourri can be expensive to buy but is simple to make at home and creates lovely decorations and inexpensive fragrant gifts.

In this charmingly illustrated book Ann Tucker Fettner describes which flowers, oils and herbs are best for various types of pot pourri, ranging from those reminiscent of a spring garden to more musky concoctions. She also offers guidance as to how they may be presented as gifts.

Instructions are also given for making your own incense and scented candles. From the tiny lavender bag to elaborate display pieces, potpourri and other fragrant creations are a delight to make, give and enjoy. Ann Tucker is a writer, teacher and scent-maker.

The book is in good condition.
