And, last but not least, The Little Herb House now has a homepage and

“under construction” website on the information highway!!!

 

                                                          www.littleherbhouse.com

 

You will be able to click on this link to access my Homepage.  The shopping cart is not yet functional,

as well as many other future features.  However, you can link to the Newsletter, Events, Workshops, and

Herbal Luncheons & Teas !!  It is my desire to have the shopping cart up and working by the end of this

year, but that may be optimistic – I am learning FrontPage 2003 and PrecisionWeb’s shopping cart

manual as I go!  Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!! 

 

 

 


 

Well, that’s all for this newsletter. Hope to see each and everyone of you at the Fall Open House, and in the

meantime, hope you enjoy exploring the new website of The Little Herb House!
