Potpourri mix
Making a fall and winter holiday potpourri is a good project to go along with getting
the kitchen ready for the holidays.
It takes a good six weeks to cure a potpourri mix, so this is the time to get
started if you want to give potpourri as gifts and use to brighten your holiday table.
