Miss Spencer's Sleep Pillows Approximately 3" x 5" (7.5 x 12.5 cm) - $5.00 Miss Spencer's Lavender Sachets "Lavender . . . is not only sweet of smell, and therefore comfortable to the Braine, but also good for the Palsie and all other infirmities." ~ Thomas Coghan, 1584.

Approximately 3" x 5" (7.5 x 12.5 cm) - $5.00 Mrs. McLean's Sleepytime Baby Pillows Carefully wrapped in a pure vintage linen sachet, the gentle mixture of herbs in our Baby Pillows is blended to soothe and quiet cranky babies and help lull them into a sleep full of sweet dreams. Simply tuck the Baby Pillow inside a crib, bassinette, or stroller, or even inside the hood of a snuggly winter outfit, and let it work its magic. Approximately 3" x 5" (7.5 x 12.5 cm) - $5.00 Miss Spencer's Headache Pillows This intriguing mixture of floral and spicy scents has been used virtually unchanged since Elizabethan times to help those suffering from headaches. Early travellers and immigrants to North America would frequently carry this mixture in a small leather bag hung around their necks, which they would hold to their nose and inhale deeply as soon as they felt the onset of a headache. Our headache pillow can be carried in a pocket, jar, or kit until it is needed - then place it near your nose, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Some say that it will even lull you into a welcome sleep full of sultry dreams . . . Approximately 3" x 5" (7.5 x 12.5 cm) - $5.00 Miss Spencer's Deep Sleep Sachets Herbs have been used for centuries to help those who have trouble getting to sleep and those who sleep restlessly. Stronger than our Sleep Sachets, and less sweet (more spicy) smelling, these vintage linen sachets are filled with aromatics that aid in quieting the mind, relaxing the body, and gently inducing sleep. Simply tuck the sachet inside your pillow, close your eyes, and breathe slowly and deeply. Travellers tell us that these sachets also help them to sleep well in unfamiliar surroundings and even in vehicles. We recommend these sachets for people who are having a great deal of trouble sleeping, and our customers confirm to us that they really work! Approximately 3" x 5" (7.5 x 12.5 cm) - $5.00 Miss Spencer's Sweet Bags Since Elizabethan times, spicy sweet bags have been used to scent both clothes and the body. Their exotic, heady scent is reputed to have an enticing effect upon members of the opposite sex. Whether you place them in the drawer with your unmentionables, or simply tuck one into your pocket or bodice, these linen jacquard sachets are the perfect complement to the well-dressed man or woman. Approximately 1.5" x 4" (4 x 10 cm) - $4.00 Miss Spencer's Summer Meadows Sachet If you have ever longed for the scent of a wildflower-filled meadow, this sachet has been blended with you in mind. We’ve combined not only flowers but herbs and spices to produce a heavenly scent evocative of the fresh, clean country air on an early summer’s day. Whether you choose to place this sachet inside a drawer to scant your clothes, with stored linens or woolens to keep them fresh and sweet-smelling, or in a vehicle to freshen it and remove stale odours, you’ll find this wonderful, long-lasting scent will remind you of simpler times and summery places. Approximately 1.5" x 4" (4 x 10 cm) - $5.00 Miss Spencer's Repose and Revive Sachet Carefully blended for an enticing scent, our Repose and Revive Sachet was originally created in the 17th Century to help English courtiers drift off to a deep, pleaceful sleep, from which they would awake relaxed and revitalized. Our recipe combines spices, flowers, and herbs to produce a very different and exotic scent that’s as delightful used insideyour pillowcase as it is when tucked inside your unmentionables drawer or your linen closet. One of our favourite uses is to hang this sachet in a clothes closet inside a special outfit, where it gently scents all of the clothing and evokes all of the opulence of a royal court in days long past. Approximately 1.5" x 4" (4 x 10 cm) - $5.00 Miss Spencer's Sweet Dreams Sachet This sachet is made with a very old recipe made popular by the itinerant herb and spice merchants of eighteenth- century Italy. Originally touted as “A Sachet to Ease Melancholie,” we’ve found that this works wonderfully to encourage a gentle sleep filled with sweet dreams. Its delightful, spicy scent is also an excellent addition to stored linens or woolens, and it is strong enough to scent an entire closet if left out on a shelf or hung from a hanger. We also suggest packing it in your suitcase when you travel, to give all of your things a lovely scent that evokes comforting thoughts of home. Approximately 1.5" x 4" (4 x 10 cm) - $5.00 |
