A small handful of whole cloves, a couple of cinnamon sticks and some
orange peel in simmering water makes the whole house smell wonderful
and puts a little moisture in the air.

Thanks! For me it's getting the form right. Take off a mm in one place
and it can make the difference between a good shape and a form that
"sings". For example, I am not as happy with the one on the left in
figured maple(but my sister loves it) as I am with the other two that
are made from relatively plain wood.

Thanks! I usually have to explain what a pomander is to people. They are
so used to scented candles and plug-ins these days.

Readers would most likely know what a pomander is.

You'd pretty much have to be an old fart to know what a pomander is. You'd pretty much have to be an old fart to know what a Jethro Tull is. Well, mostly.

I despise scented candles and plug-in "air fresheners" are ridiculous.
I appreciate the craftsmanship of those pieces.

Potpourri sounds a bit fuddy-duddy, but the containers are beautiful.

The scent of those candles makes me feel sick. I would much rather have
something like the ones you are making.

Me too, they're really pretty. I don't really care much for scented candles,
sprays, etc. at all.

My youngest sons partner bought us an electric diffuser last Christmas. At
first I was sceptical because the bottle of fragrance oil it came with was
not particularly nice (to me) smelling.

However, I looked on Ebay and discovered the vast range of scented oils that
are available and bought some I thought might be ok.

I love vanilla, and there are fruity ones, plus one called cut grass. Now I
add a few drops of one of those on occasion. There is also a cinnamon and
orange oil which is very pleasant.

I make candles (as does my husband after I showed him the craft). It's
a simple and useful hobby.

I do that sometimes. Got a huge bag of cinnamon sticks for cheap at Winco,
