The Essential Herbal ~ Under The Sun
We are in the 9th year of publication here at The Essential Herbal Magazine. The first several years were filled with wonderful stuff, but the audience was limited. Most of those issues sold out long ago. So we took the 15 spring and summer issues from those 5 years (Mar/Apr, May/June, and July/Aug), and put them together into a truly fabulous book.
Over 200 pages, sized 8.5 x 11, filled with all the things readers have come to expect from The Essential Herbal. We reworked some of the early stuff, combined things into reasonable chapters - like "The Stillroom", "The Kitchen", "Just Weeds", and "Herbal First Aid", and added a few surprises. There are articles on gardening, favorite backyard remedies, wild eats, and tons of crafting ideas.
$24.95 plus USPS Priority shipping. Note: International shipping charges will be added prior to shipping

Let's Make Soap with the Twisted Sisters
In this informal DVD, we prepare cold-process soap and explain the process as we work - from beginning to end. We list some suppliers and an on-line calculator for checking your formula before soaping it, and give you a recipe for your first batch. Our main goal is to make our students comfortable enough with the soap making process and especially to banish the "fear of lye" so that they will feel able to make soap themselves if they wish.
