September 21, 2011

It's not that easy being green...or so the song says. Unless of course, you're a member of the Etsy Promo Frenzy Team! This week's treasury collection was inspired by the song "Scarborough Fair" by Simon and Garfunkel. When I was younger, I just liked the song and had no idea what "parsley, sage, rosemary and time" had to do with going to the fair and true loves. I now know that Scarborough used to be a major trading town in days of olde, and so the call of the spices is reminescent of tradesmen (and women) harking their wares. I also found out as I got older that it wasn't TIME, but instead THYME, a spice I cook with quite frequently now and has found it's way into some of my holiday products.

Okay, so no more chitchat -

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Time
 






























And, now, of course, Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel




If you've never seen "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman, this is sure to peak your interest in seeing the whole film.
