this might just be the easiest craft i have ever done, but i am quite sure it's one that will continue to give and give as the days get shorter and the air gets crisper. it's a sage wreath, a trustee cooking companion for the autumn and winter seasons.
i was noticing that the chilly evenings was having an affect on my herb garden so i brought some in to decorate our home and a majority of the rest the rest to dry. the rosemary now sits in my kitchen in a sweet little brass pot and the lavender is in our bedroom, perfuming our space with provincial notes. as for the sage, well i snipped it at the base, gathered it into a little half wreath, then tied it together with twine. i've got it hanging near my pots and pans for each snippage when soups could use a boost or sandwiches a little herbal crunch. i am planning to do this with my thyme and oregano as well. but for now, they seems to be thriving in this chilly, damp weather we've been having.
if you guys have any fun ideas regarding preserving herbs, i'm all ears!
what a fantastic idea! our herbs are starting to look a little drooper with the recent cool nights we've had too, but you've given me some great options so that they do not go to waste! one thing i have been thinking about doing with them is infusing cooling oils. have you tried that yet?
