Happy Freebie Friday!
Last week's winner of the 5 lip balm set is Abby G! Drop me an email, Abby, and we'll send your gift right out! :)
I'm feeling rather generous today, so our Freebie Friday for this week is an entire Natural Laundry Gift Set (retail value $39.00). Set contains a full pound of laundry soap, a dryer sachet, an 8 oz. bottle of body and linens mist, and a 1/3 oz bottle of essential oil. If you haven't tried all-natural laundry products, this is a real treat! Your clothes smell and feel wonderful. :)
Rules:
1) One entry per person.
2) You must have a registered ID to post - if your post shows up under "anonymous", we don't know who you are, and therefore you can't win.
3) You have until the next Thursday at midnight, CST, to enter your comment.
4) Winner will be announced the following Friday - you must check back to see if it's you!
5) International folks are welcome. We ship Prairieland Herbs items all over the world, so we'll ship our "Friday freebie" anywhere too!
6) Each eligible post will be assigned a number, and we'll use a free online random number generator to determine the winner.
Good luck!

Finally finished planting all my tomatoes and peppers in the straw bale garden. This pic is from last Saturday, I think. It rained on them off and on all weekend so I haven't had to water them (yay). So far, they are looking okay. The straw bales are starting to grown, well, straw! Looks just like green grass sprouting on them. I'll get pics of that soon, too. :)
Sharing 2 cool blog links with you today.
First, a great tutorial on making your own salves and balms, posted by the fabulous ladies at The Essential Herbal!
Second, a great tutorial on making dandelion syrup from Larskspur Funny Farm! Flower/herb syrups are just so magical and yummy.
Enjoy!!

Holy cow! You guys actually pay attention to our ramblings!!! we've been getting email after email about how we haven't blogged for days (and I missed Friday Freebie - so sorry! Will rectify that shortly...). Here's what happened. My grandpa lives on the farm here with my mother. He celebrated his 90th birthday this past weekend, and we had a big family party planned - folks coming in from Washington and Colorado and staying for days. BUT then my grandpa "decided" to celebrate his 90th with a hospital visit for blood clots! He's okay now, but it was a kerfuffle for a while...loads of family camped out here at the PLH farm visits to the hospital, etc. Because this is a family business with only two employees, when family emergencies happen it tends to make us cut out on our "normal" business activities.
(my mom and grandpa by our copper still)
(my mom and grandpa by our copper still)Grandpa is home now, celebrated his 90th in style, and is looking forward to years and years of good health. We're getting back into our regular work routine. Thanks so much, everyone, for all the emails asking about us. We'll be better about keeping you posted in the future!
