Preparing Potpourri

I cut and gather the blossoms from my garden.  It is a way to enjoy them a little longer.

The air is very dry here, so they dry quickly with the brightest of colors.

I place them in a jar with a very heavy lid, and add just a few drops of essential oil.  I added rose and lavender, because mostly, that's what is in the jar, and I had these oils in the house, because I use them in a diffuser.  One could use one they find pleasant. An air tight jar is best, but  it is very dry here, so I didn't use a desiccant. 

That's it.

I scoop some into a small bowl, and place it on the table beside my living door.
