Fall is not complete without the scents of pumpkin and apple filling the air. Make simmering fall potpourri and enjoy baked-fresh aroma all season!
We love the rich scents of pies baking in the oven. Of course, we don’t have time or room in our clothes to bake all day long. We could buy scented candles, but they can get so expensive and the scents can be so overwhelming that they can cause headaches.
How about creating a lovely natural scent of two favorite autumn pies without having to whip out the rolling pin?
Clean and Scentsible has two great potpourri recipes for us that will fill the whole house with the warm scents of pumpkin and apple pie. She suggests playing with the recipes, adding whatever strikes your fancy and also reminds us that we can keep the mixtures in the fridge to reuse later.
