Fairy Dream Pillow

Cut out two squares of soft fabric approximately 6 inches square....
velvet, velveteen or satin are preferred, sew around three sides of
the squares with white or silver thread. Turn pillow inside out and stuff the pillow with a mixture of herbs as below.
Mix in a bowl:
Rose Petals (two parts)
Primroses (one part)
Bay leaves, fresh (one part)
Lavender (one part )
Milkweed pod silky tassels (two parts)

Sew up the end so that the herbs stay in the pillow. You can then decorate the pillow if you want with lace, silk, or embroider with designs, or even use fabric paint, etc. Take this pillow to bed with you at night and put it under your pillow. This not only smells great but will help you to have dreams of the fey.

** After six months these pillows may lose their "fresh" scent.
You can reuse them by emptying out the old contents and refilling
them with new herbs.
