I have also made violet leaf oil infusion from the link you have mentioned and used that in soap. I think I used violets for something else as well but can't remember now. As usual Isabell Shipard has some suggestions in her book including Violet Ointment and Violet Vinegar. We used to pick the flowers and eat them when we were kids :-)Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-8862588283452516542016-04-28T20:40:26.192+10:002016-04-28T20:40:26.192+10:00I've always loved violets and would pick them ...I've always loved violets and would pick them from an old abandoned cottage that my parents owned near the edge of the town. It took forever to pick a bunch, but oh it was so worth it for the fragrance. I didn't know of their medicinal qualities until now.
