Today is Blogger Day! I’m thankful you’re here reading and I want to introduce you to another blog I read. Tisserand Institute is a company I trust for accurate information about essential oils. If you’re interested in information like the infographic below, then you’ll like the Tisserand Institute blog.
I’m offering you this graphic for my Science Saturday posts that I’d like to start doing. It’s important to know what your essential oils can do and what you can’t do or shouldn’t do with the oils. Knowledge is power! Here’s a little information about the popular Lavender essential oil and it’s effect on knee osteoarthritis..
So now you know! I hope you have a great weekend! If you have a favorite essential oil blog, put it in the comments below!
It’s that time of year again – back to school! Some teachers will return this week, some of you return a little later, and some homeschools never stop for the summer! Here’s my back-to-school gift to you: a diffuser recipe that will bring calm to your classroom. I hope all of you have a great school year!
This past week I was fortunate to get a last minute acceptance as a vendor at the MidMo Strawberry Festival. It was a 4-hour event on Saturday afternoon in Fulton, Missouri at a beautiful little winery in the country – Serenity Valley Winery. The festival proceeds go to Central Missouri Honor Flight whose mission is to provide transport for Veterans to visit the memorials in D.C.. I love this cause!
I love the cause so much that from yesterday (yes, I’m including all my sales at yesterday’s festival!) through June 30, 2022, 10% of everything I sell will be donated to Oklahoma Warriors – Oklahoma’s Honor Flights program! PLEASE JOIN ME in thanking our vets for all they’ve given to keep America free! If you need to restock on Morphine Bomb or Allergy Buster- now is the time! I’m including every single one of my brand new products like Itch Stick (for bug bites), Leaves of Three (for poison ivy/oak/sumac), Migraine Blend for Women, and so much more!
Delivery Vs. Shipping
If you need help finding something just message me and I’ll help you. If you don’t want to pay shipping and you’re local to me, I can do deliveries on June 24th-27th and again July 1st-4th. You just need to message me and let me know so I can send you an invoice that doesn’t include shipping. If you don’t do credit cards, I can take CashApp – again, you just have to let me know because CashApp isn’t connected to my website.
Festival Bestsellers
Now that I’ve got the announcement out of the way, I’ll continue the tradition I started last year and announce my best sellers at the MidMo Strawberry Festival:
#2: Lava bead bracelets for use with essential oils (I don’t have everything up on my website and a quick search tells me I only have one or two bracelets up right now so if you’re interested, message me and I’ll send you back a pic of all the bracelets I have. Some are handcrafted, others aren’t. Some are for big wrists, some are for tiny wrists. All are $10.)
A few of HF’s essential oil bracelets.
Help the Vets Get to D.C.!
I’m looking forward to help a vet get to D.C. I hope you’ll consider purchasing this month so you can help, too! THANK YOU! Now go SHOP!
Just a quick note to let you know that I’m migrating over to WordPress.org. (We’re on WordPress.com right now). The reason is that WordPress.org will be able to host my online store without all the issues I’ve had for the last year…at least, that’s what they say. I guess we’ll see! My domain name should stay the same. I’m not sure how much of a difference you’ll notice in the appearance of the blogs. This is all new territory for me so I guess we’re in this together! The site may be unavailable at times as it migrates. It may take up to a week to migrate which means that the day before the 1 year anniversary of my business, we should be up and running on WordPress.org – I hope! As far as I can tell, it should be only a minor issue for readers, if it’s an issue at all. I’m looking forward to the transition and to the possibility of having an online store that actually works for you and for me!
Here’s a little freebie for your Easter weekend gatherings. It will keep your home smelling beautiful.

New Season, New Products
We’re two weeks away from Honeysuckle Farm’s one year anniversary! For me, that means I’m gearing up for summer events. I’m removing some products from my lineup and replacing them with new things. I’ve retired my Amazon Warrior special collection from year 1 and I’m replacing it with…..Cleopatra! Ancient Egypt and Cleopatra had such a huge influence on essential oils and aromatherapy. So this year, I’m paying homage to Cleopatra with a special line of products. My first Cleopatra collection item is a beautiful necklace made from some of Cleopatra’s favorite gems. Because I don’t have a current picture, I’ll include one from when I had just assembled the necklace but hadn’t yet finished it off.
Cleopatra Collection – The Scarab
The necklace and bracelet can be purchased as a set or individually. The pieces include carnelian and turquoise – some of Cleopatra’s favorite gems, plus a blue agate bead that I love. Lava beads are included for your essential oils. Each piece has a tiny Swarovski crystal scarab at the center. I will only make these through the beginning of August so there will be a very limited quantity in circulation. It will be a unique piece to wear. The necklace is 27.5 inches long. The bracelet is 6.5 inches (a small). Both are stretchy and have no closure so that anyone can wear them even those whose hands and fingers have limitations. As soon as my lapis lazuli beads arrive, future versions of this necklace will have lapis instead of blue agate. Additionally, I’m not sure how many of the future necklaces will include a scarab so if you love the scarab, you better grab him now! This necklace and bracelet were inspired by an ancient Egyptian necklace and I love that my daughter and daughter-in-law helped with the design of it. I hope you love it like I do!
Enjoy your Easter weekend and don’t forget to shop small businesses whenever you can!

Closing Out Year One
I am approaching the one year anniversary of Honeysuckle Farm, LLC! I’m excited to have made it this far and I really appreciate everyone who has helped me get here! This summer’s show schedule is very light. So far, I have only committed to two shows – the Huckleberry Festival at the first of July in Jay, Oklahoma and the Tontitown Grape Festival in Tontitown, Arkansas in early August. I’m sure that will change as we get into summer but if not, I look forward to seeing you at the festivals! Bring on summer!
