Carmenetta's Cottage

Stillroom

A room within a room, where simple every day items are made: some for good health, cleaning the house and self. Others to make the world and linens smell better. Here the apothecaries’ hands skillfully mix herbs and spices, wines and oils.
Here in our Still Room, soaps to perfumes, lotions to creams, and all the herbs and spices that will be used are found behind this door. You will also find some things which contain these items, such as Herbed Pillows

Dream Pillows: For many centuries, both mattresses and pillows have been stuffed with scented grasses. The Romans were the first to add dried rose petals to pillows, and Elizabethan mattresses were often stuffed with Ladies' Bedstraw. George III could not sleep without his hopped pillow. Victorian ladies favored lavender, turning their faces towards the sweet scent to calm their fluttering hearts. Filled with select potpourri, our Dream Pillows are made of fine brocades and help provide a most restful sleep.
