    What are your Mother's Day gift giving plans? How about a making jars of homemade rose & lavender body scrubs to gift to the mothers in your life? Last Sunday I had the honor of hosting a Mother's Day floral craft event at the Pasadena Anthropologie. What did we make? Homemade Sea Salt Floral Body Scrubs of course!

    Let me start by saying that stepping into Anthropologie is pretty darn inspiring, let alone spending the afternoon crafting in store with a great group of ladies.

    The tables were set with heaping bowls of dried flowers that we served up in latte bowls, essentials oils, small nosegays of roses and ranunculus and ribbon galore. It was a sensory overload of all things floral and let me tell you, these craft tables smelled heavenly.

    Laura Hooper Calligraphy graciously made our crafters the most gorgeous rose gold-foiled "Happy Mother's Day" tags to tie onto the scrub jars gifted to us by Weck. If you've ever used Weck jars, you will know just how beautiful they are and perfect for filling with homemade scrubs, jams, or any other homemade treats!

    There was quite a bit of laughing...

    Pouring and mixing...

    ...And snacking on scones with lemon jam, cream, berries and thumb print cookies.

    We made lavender scrubs and rose scrubs both flecked with dried petals and infused with essential oils. Although most everyone gave in and added a bit of both flowers!

    I absolutely loved meeting so many of you in person for the first time and seeing old friends as well.

    In the end, it was a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning celebrating our Mom's and mixing up such lovely and luxurious gifts for them.

      Oh, I love this idea! There was a tea shop in London that I used to love, where you could go in and make your own assortment using dried fruits, flowers and herbs. This reminds me of that same experience. I'd love to make some of these to give as gifts all year long! (I bet they'd be great as part of a gift box for bridesmaids this coming wedding season.)

      Thank you for hosting this event Leah! I had a great time and it was really nice to meet you in person 🙂 I also did a blog post about making the scrubs for Mother's Day, here is a link to the post: http://peonyphotography.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/happy-mothers-day/ My mom said it made her tear up. I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day present!

      What a fun event! Can't wait to make some of my own.

      On a side note, I think your Twitter social media link is broken. I went to follow you and it just took me to my homepage. I'll search manually, just thought I'd let you know 🙂

      I am making these for christmas presents this year and wondering how far in advance I can make them and put them in jars? Should I make them as close to christmas as possible or will they "keep" for a while in a jar?

      • Leah Bergman says

        December 15, 2013 at 6:46 pm

        Hi Jill! I would recommend making them as close to gifting as possible so that the recipient has more time to use the scrub. I would say that they last 3-4 weeks in a jar. Hope that helps!

      August 25, 2014 at 12:47 pm

      Exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful pictures.

    17. Kelsey says

      November 20, 2014 at 12:10 pm

      Would you recommend using coarse or fine grain salt?

      • Leah Bergman says

        November 20, 2014 at 1:42 pm

        You can use either but I prefer coarse grain.
