This summer I discovered StoneGable, an inspiring blog where I love to linger. Gracious host Yvonne welcomes us into her home each day, sharing recipes, craft ideas and tablescapes. I have thought often this summer how lovely it would be to visit StoneGable, but I don't think I could bear to leave!
I was so pleased to find Yvonne's StoneGable salt scrub tutorial -- a perfect quick creative project I could do at the kitchen counter without taxing my back. Above you can see my first attempt, a fragrant pink salt scrub infused with rose and lavender. I have enjoyed sampling the scrub myself this week, and I am already on the lookout for more pretty jars so I can share this gift of pampering with others.
I am including Yvonne's salt scrub recipe below, but be sure to visit her blog for more detailed information and helpful hints. I promise you will eagerly anticipate each visit with Yvonne, garnering daily inspiration for beautiful living from a gracious lady whose hands are always busy saying welcome home.
StoneGable Salt Scrub
1 cup fine textured sea salt
4 oz. grape seed oil
2 drops Petal Pink Wilton food coloring
3 drops rose essential oil
2 drops Savannah rain essential oil
Using a bowl and spoon that will not be used for food, mix the salt with the oil. Add food coloring and mix thoroughly. Add essential oils and mix. (Note: Rounding up all the ingredients actually took longer than making the salt scrub. I found fine-textured sea salt at Wal-Mart, grape seed oil at Fresh Market, essential oils and scents at Michaels and the crackled jar with silver lid at TJ Maxx.)
