A lof of people like to use simmering potpourris in their homes, or bowls of dried potpourri to just smell yummy. You can buy all kinds of fancy scents, and you can find scents labelled everything from "Christmas Tree" to "Spiritual Uplift", and so on. And a lot of them come with an "uplifting" price tag, too!
But I like to make my own scents and I enjoy collecting the "bits" to use in smelly-goody things, so I thought I'd share one of my recipes with you!
Who can't use a bit of "prosperity" in today's world? Maybe you want your fall bulbs to "prosper" over the winter so they'll be bright and blooming in the spring. Maybe you want a little mental kick-start to help you get a job. Maybe you just want to feel "prosperous and rich", because after all, positive thinking goes a long way!
Well, these little mixtures should do that. If nothing else, the scent will give you a bit of a boost, and that's never bad.

Once everything's all mixed around, put your potpourri in a plastic zip-top bag, seal it, and label it. After about a week, the scent will have developed and you can use your potpourri.
You can simmer a handful at a time in your potpourri pot, or you can fill sachet bags with it, or you can put it in bowls around your house. And who knows, maybe the scent will inspire you to do well at a job interview, or remind you to take extra care of those bulbs you set, or make it more pleasant to pay your bills so you don't get charged a late fee or something!
Enjoy!
