Decorative Dried Herbal Wreaths & Miscellany
Our decorative dried herbal wreaths are absolutely gorgeous.  They are made only from dried herbs and flowers--nothing artificial--and so they impart a subtle fragrance as well as their beauty.  One of our most popular decorative items is the Teapot Votive, a beautiful lacy teapot that glows warmly with a tealight inside.  In addition to all of the above, we carry a variety of useful products and gifts with a tea or herbal theme, such as note pads, magnetic list pads, gift baskets, tote bags, teas in unusual decorative containers and crates, tea bricks and medallions, and tea chocolates.  One of our favorite little gifts just right for all your 'strong woman' friends is our Tea Quote Magnet with Eleanor Roosevelt's famous quote about how strong women are.
