Autumnal equinox was a few days ago. Many of you will start enjoying your baths more. We’ve got you covered. Three new bath salts coming to The Mango Market | Artisan Market with me tomorrow. Floral? Yes. Citrusy? Yup. Forest? Absolutely. They come in small (so ah-mazing to get one of each if you can’t make up your mind) and large (for those who know who they are and what they like). Tomorrow, rain or shine, 10-3. The last outdoor market of the season.

Feels like a good day to bottle some more perfume that has been mellowing for a while now. Ren Faire broke me a little so I am welcoming a quiet morning. 🤣 This one, No. 6, “Sultry”, has notes of bourbon, sweet strawberries, vanilla, and it is sooooo yummy! I know, I know… I haven’t told you about No. 3 and No. 4. By the way, no, there will be no No. 5, I am not going there… Well, if you come to The Mango Market | Artisan Market this Saturday, September 26, you can see all of the ones I tested, mellowed and bottled so far. This is the last outdoor market of the season, and it will be awesome! You can’t say I didn’t tell you. ♥️♥️♥️

Almost ready for the journey to the village of Errendwick tomorrow… come one, come all!!! It will be a blast! And, yes, you get to see me in a costume. ♥️♥️♥️

Facial steam is back in stock! A beautiful concoction with amazing organic herbals - calendula, lavender, chamomile, jasmine, cornflower, purple heather, what else could you ask for! Just boil about 4 cups of water, put in 1-2 tablespoons of botanicals to steep. Clean your face and drape a towel over your head and lean over the rising steam. You want to be about 10 inches above the pot. Don’t overdo it, 10 minutes or so should do it. Rinse off your face and follow up with a toner (yes, I have that too! 😇). Ah-mazing! Repeat weekly. Your face and sinuses will thank you. Coming with me to Mission Renaissance Faire of course. ♥️♥️♥️

Next week is the renaissance fair in Mission!! 🎉 Come and see the magic spilling over Heritage Park for three days - it will be a blast! I will be in Erendwick village, near the Frothy Fox pub. Coincidence? Probably not. 🤣🤷‍♀️

A couple of my favourites came off the curing racks today.

“For Fig’s Sake”, is a warm memory from my childhood - scent of figs warmed up by the hot southern sun and mixed with vanilla and brown sugar. It is like an embrace with a long lost friend, found again.

“Flower Shoppe” pulls you into an early morning flower market, with water droplets glistening on the greenery, all the flowers starting to open and wake up - and it all comes together in a wonderful harmony of fragrances.

Both will be added to the website today. ♥️♥️♥️

Expanding my line of perfumes from just rollers to including the spray perfumes was long coming. Some of you knew that the testing was soon to be finished, some of you actually tested them for me. And now, the wait is over! The first two kinds are bottled and ready (a line of 12 will be released over the next month).

No.1 is “Gracious”, a beautiful blend in notes of mandarin, bergamot, jasmine, rose and musk, it is an elegant and soft perfume.

No.2 is “Marrakesh”, a mesmerizing combination of musk and amber, layered with mandarin and cedarwood. It is stunning!

I can’t wait for you to meet the remaining ten options. ♥️♥️♥️
