NEW Scent in My Shop!

I ordered my fall scents over a month ago and so far have managed to get ONE of them made and listed. Is that sad? Probably. Is that life? With three kids - definitely. Things just get in the way sometime.

That being said, I chose Enchanted Apple to be the first in line, and if I do say so myself, it is amazing! My sister came over this weekend and took one sniff and had to have one!

Enchanted Apple takes advantage of the best of the apple world, being tart and sweet at the same time (how do apples DO that?) PLUS this particular apple scent is underlaid with a hint of jasmine and light musk, so it is fresh and fruity yet still manages to be soft and feminine too.

Just the color of the label makes me want to bite into a juicy apple!

Did You Know I Like Moss?

I like moss. It is a staple here in the Pacific Northwest. My favorite color is green, and I believe this is heavily influenced by my love of moss. Also, I love the word "moss." Moss, moss, moss.

If you say "moss" enough times, it ceases to have any form, function, or meaning.

However, this treasury remains pretty! Click it, and you can go see it on Etsy, and click through to each item to truly appreciate it (maybe even buy it!)

Brrrr! It is cold and rainy and I love it!

I know the world is full of sun-lovers. Thus the popularity of the Caribbean, Florida, and Mexico, to name a few. However, I also know that hiding beneath the branches of towering cedars and fir trees, there are the rain-lovers like me. We love a drizzly day, so we can curl up by the window with a good book and alternately read and watch the rain drops race down the panes. We love a windy rain storm that batters the house and howls through the trees. We love the green that the rain brings afterward, and how fresh and clean the air smells once it stops.

Here are some of my favorite photos, all possible because of the rain!
