    A fragrant day of fresh herbs that you make into liqueurs will be a high point of your summer activities.  Plimoth Plantation sponsors Fragrances and Luxuries from the Herb Garden on Tuesday, July 19, from 9 – 3.  You will include tiny amounts of these luscious herbal liqueurs into luxury chocolates and candies.  You’ll learn how to distill herbs for cosmetics and cookery.  Lastly, you’ll use dried herbs to make blends for fragrant pillows, sachets and potpourri.  The fee is $95 for Museum members and $120 for nonmembers.  Register at www.plimoth.org, or call 508-746-1662, ext 8359.

  • Tuesday, October 6, 9:00 am – Esplanade Association Shopping Day at Lord & Taylor’s

    The Esplanade Association (www.esplanadeassociation.org) was invited to participate in a charity event that Lord & Taylor is holding on October 6th starting at 9 am at Boston and Greater Boston stores.  They are offering a number of groups a special shopping day at Lord & Taylor as a way to benefit each group’s cause. Lord & Taylor has given TEA 200 tickets to sell for their special shopping day for $5 each. That money goes directly to TEA. The tickets offer not only entry into the shopping day but also special coupon discounts of 20% and  15%  for sale and regular priced items, including 15% off cosmetics & fragrances (which is never offered) and 20% off one pair of Ugg boots if you want to purchase one. (Ugg boots are apparently very much in demand and don’t go on sale).  There will be special store give-aways, store raffles of $500 gift cards and prizes, music, AND this is an opportunity for people to help TEA.  If TEA supporters visit Lord & Taylor on October 6th and turn in their tickets, we will be eligible to win thousands of dollars in additional money.

    If you would like to participate and help our partner organization The Esplanade Association, email Jeryl Oristaglio at jerylori@gmail.com.
