Herbs are dried in the corgyn's pretend
apothecary, Emily & Ethlyn's Potions & Perfumery.
An old ledger in Emily & Ethlyn's
Potions & Perfumery. In the ledger is recorded butter at 40
cents per pound. The corgyn love hand churned butter flavored
with herbs.
Dried petals of Dame's Rocket.
Eliakim May Corgi writes in the ledger
with gathered bleeding heart marking the page.
An old copy of The National
Formulary covered with rose patterned material.
There are receipts for elixirs, confections, syrups, and
infusions which use many ingredients, such as lily of the valley,
iris, rhubarb, lavender, and rose.
The pink rose tussie-mussie above also has
forget-me-nots, baby's breath, lavender, lady's mantle and thyme.
Diane oft' times makes a tussie-mussie with the pink rose to take
to evening Independence Day festivities.
