How beautiful! Even though they eat up our fruit and nibble on various flowers and plants around the house, I’ll always have such a love for deer.

Hi Abby! I smiled as I opened your post, as I just planted my first Foxglove this evening. Such a beautiful, old fashioned flower. Didn’t know they were deadly :o I will enjoy them with great care. Have a lovely weekend!

Hi Olga, Thank you. If you can’t find witch hazel you could substitute a little bit of water, or more herb infused water. Witch hazel is an extract from the leaves and bark of the witch hazel plant. Here in the US it’s available bottled and ready to use. It’s used for all kinds of skin irritations and for general skin care. It’s tonifying and soothing. But, it’s definitely not necessary to make a nice batch of lotion :)

Thanks Jodi. They are echinacea seeds we saved last year. They’re slow to get going, but a number of them have germinated and are going strong (the rest we are still waiting patiently on).

That last photo of the buck resting under the rhododendron is so nice… thanks for sharing, Abby.

p.s. What are the seeds you’re saving from the last post? Cosmos?

Never tought to made natural creme for myself, but now I’m anxious to do it.

I live in Europe, so we don’t have the same products. Could you tell me more about witch hazel, please? Did you make it by yourself (what flowers did you use and how you made it), or you bought it somewhere?

Thank you, for this tutorial and fantastic photos!

How awesome! I love when things like that happen. And you will not regret a purchase from Flying Bird Botanicals. She makes most beautiful products, worth every penny.
