Spring is a great time to stop and smell the flowers. At the modern apothecary shop, we're hand picking soft faded hues for soap wrapping and designs.
We're anxiously awaiting the tulips, violets, and red buds to unveil their glorious beauty. The past few days I've been clearing and tidying up at both our home and the shop. We're starting some remodeling projects at our home and I'll be excited when we start installing new fixtures and get close to the end of the construction. The shop is experiencing a Hygge phenomenon. Practicing Hygge is not limited to winter. You can enjoy the gratifying moments year round! The grass is beginning to turn green and I'm itching to plant my stash of zinnia seeds. Happy Spring! Jill
