One Knit One Purl Has Another New Blog - Toile Botanicals!



Hi Everyone!

This is to announce my new French-inspired blog called Toile Botanicals.  It features my other favorite things in life, namely organics, teas, coffee, herbs and France, of course!

In the 1990s, I had a successful herbal tea business, but with interruptions in life, I had to relocate and close down.  Since that time, however, I found that I missed working with herbs and teas, so I recently decided that I wanted to start another small business.  

This time, I want to incorporate what I love into a business.  One thing that I believe is important is to shop for organic food and use organic ingredients whenever possible.  Additionally, one of my favorite places to visit is Paris and I love just about anything French.  So, after festering about this for the past few months . . . 
Voila!  I decided to create a line of organic products inspired by France!

Toile Botanicals will offer organic teas, organic herbs, organic whole bean coffee, and organic gourmet salts and spices, all with a subtle hint of France!   Products will be made in small batches to maximize freshness and flavor.

Currently, I have a line of organic teas, each with a fun French name.  The organic coffees will be posted soon, along with the gourmet Fleur de Sel (French culinary salt) blends, for baking and cooking.  I will be offering other spices and herbs, such as organic Herbes de Provence and organic lavender products.

Please visit my Toile Botanicals Etsy shop too - more items will be posted there soon!

Merci Beaucoup!

Organic Amish Strawberries and Tomatoes


These were hand picked on Monday!
Our favorite Amish farm stand is on Route 10 in Honeybrook, PA.  They grow everything without pesticides and claim to be organic.

 They have fresh raw milk, cream, butter and baked goods too.
Their tomatoes are ready -- believe it or not!  Grown in a greenhouse right now, but they are very good.
The regular tomatoes grown outside will be ready soon.  God has blessed the land around Lancaster!
