Note to Self: To Do

- This weekend, go through the Enormous Box O' BPAL, make a list of everything, and decide what imps and bottles to sell.

- Box up & address the parasols for [livejournal.com profile] angeldst.

- Make a new canopy for the collapsible parasol.

- Write a first draft for a new GCS lesson.

- Weed through the closets.

And if there's time after all that, cull the stacks of books.

If you have any antique lace, dana o'shee, snow moon, or any pumpkin scents, I'd be interested in them. Anything from similar families as well would be of interest.

After your sale at home (since I am so far away) are there very often items that need a home?

Poison Study and MAdame Mirabou's School of love

Two books made me recently think of you:
Poison Study is about a woman who is given the choice to be hanged or to be the next food taster. The descriptions of the taste smell and color of poisons is really cool - she is given poison so that she has to go everyday for the anitidote. Then instead of being passive - they teach her everything about poisons.

Madame Mirabou is about a woman post divorce. I did not think I could ever read it, but every chapter started with what a memory smelled like and what scents she could use to make a perfume to match the memory. It was amazing those parts where she thought about memory and made perfumes. And the ideas she had for the perfect bottles.
Nikki's Perfume Journal
Scent of Hours:
Scents: dryer sheets, faint mildews, pepperoni pizza, semen, lemons, white wine, hint of sulpher, touch of chocolate
Bottle: aquamarine cracked glass
Notes:the first night I made love to Daniel

(Then Nikki would go onto describe the elements she would used to make the perfume that would match that memory) very very cool. It made me understand so much more about the history of scents and what goes into custom perfumes.)

I assume the box o' parasols will also include a certain bundle of pink velvet, to be made into a sundress for you? :D I also assume that the parasol that needs re-covered won't be in this particular box, as I've yet to come up with fabric for it, cause I'm an eedjit? :/

Also, any of your Bpal imps to be swapped/sold that have notes of lavender or rose, if you could make notes of them, I'm likely to be Rather Interested in them.

You rock so hard.
