It is just like that one. I think it would do well for one of those
"smell this instead" balls the ladies carried around with them?for
whenever the ordinary smells around them got to be too much.? I know
they were filled with something pleasant to smell.?
?
Anyone have period recipes for such fillings?? Or ideas on what to
make?? I have lavender and such.? I even have some beeswax if that
could/should be used to hold the ingredients together as the holes are
fairly large and whatever I fill it with will need to be either in a
fabric bag or bound together in some way.>>>
I can't seem to get the link you gave to work. Even taking out the
spaces. So I'm not entirely sure what you've found, although it sounds
like a pomander.
