You might think my excitement about finding those tiny Bonne Maman jam jars is about the jam. You would be partially correct, it's fabulous. But, what really makes me happy is their project repurposing perfection.
With so many beautiful roses and prolific lavender at home in Cadrieu, I looked for something I could make that would put those babies to good use...rose petal bath scrubs. I'd begun with the large Bonne Maman's and glass yogurt jars, but in this case...smaller is better AND with a lid!
They were sweet, pretty, and well-preserved in their single size body scrubs. I found they were easy to use for one bath and made perfect thoughtful gifts to friends. I must confess, I felt like a pampered coconut cookie by the time I was done (solid coconut oil, rose petals, sugar and sunflower oil).
With this summer's trip home reduced from 4 months to 2; I may not have enough time to indulge myself in crafty projects. I already know there's lots of work to be done in the garden and another long list around the Chatette that should keep me busy...but, you never know.
