/perfumeToday's scent is Frater Cherry Pop. I'm not normally one for sweet fruit like this, but its very well made. Its also a parfum, so while its long lasting, it dosen't have a ton of sillage (perfect for me) Love the base of this perfume.
/digglistJoin us in /perfume for fragrant discussions about perfume, perfume making, and all the smells!
/perfumeTodays scent is Guerlain Tonka Imperiale, which is now discontinued. I only have this in the old 75ml bottles but I have a couple of backups so life is good. This is one of my favorite tonka bean perfumes, a close second being Shalimar Tonka Millisemme.
/perfumeScent of today is Annick Goutal Ambre Fetiche (vintage square bottle) a beautiful spicy amber, with a touch of leather. I pull it out for the cold days and considering we're about to have a week of them, I figure I'd start my perfume week with it.

/sewing/perfume/perfumeToday's Scent is Balmain Jolie Madam EDT and you think based on the bottle it would be this simple simpering type of scent. Its not by a long shot. Under all that politeness there's a dominatrix in there...lol Florals but a dank leather, pretty on the surface but also a s

/perfumeToday's scent is Guerlain Elixir Charnel Gourmand Coquin (later renamed Feve Gourmand) My bottle was before the renaming, and just personal opinion, I don't think they smell the same. In my bottle I get much more rose than in the newer version. Then there's also that very lo
/perfumeToday's scent is Dame Perfumery Earth Mother. Some say it smells like Angel Lite or Lovely, and I guess both share notes, but to me, its really its own thing.

/perfumeToday I'm wearing Chanel Bois de Iles, which I got for my birthday last year. There are definitely certain things I fall in love with over and over (especially true with Guerlains and Chanels) and this is one of them.
/sewingI apparently love buttons...lol I have tons and tons (and tons) of buttons, way more than whats in the image. In particular though I love older buttons because (to me anyway) they have tons of character. I especially love Mother of Pearl, though I refrain from purchasing new o
/perfumeFor myself, it was my mother. She was an Avon Lady when I was a little kid until I went to college, so I got to help package things, wear things, so on. But I wasn't just about lady perfume, I was about ALL of it. One time I decided to wear my dad's Wild Country cologne.
/sewingWhen this pattern came out, so many had to have it. Its really gorgeous but oh wow, it takes a bit of work! https://simplicity.com/vogue-patterns/v1934 I made a size 18, which had to be adjusted because the waist is very very tight. I also changed some things about the
/perfumeI always have a hard time picking something out on Sunday I finally settled on Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint Germaine EDP. I don't wear a lot of it but wow, it packs quite the punch. I like to call it my potpourri perfume because its got a little bit of everything in it...lol

/sewingA fun post: Whats your favorite sewing machine? Is it one you already have, one you want to have? I enjoy all my machines (not that many, just 3 + the overlocker) And admittedly I love them all. But my main machine is a Elna 790Pro, which is my daily driver, my ride or d
/sewinghttps://simplicity.com/butterick/b6852 I had this pattern and figured I would make it. In Palmer/Plesche manner, you get TONS of instructions and fitting information. I don't do tissue fitting but it can come in very handy for someone who's never fitted a pattern before (ton
/sewinghttps://simplicity.com/mccalls/m6044 I make lots of shirts for my other half (of course he also makes the request) because quite frankly he hates buying shirts because I usually have to do some sort of alteration. So, one of the things we agreed on was I make him shirts he
/perfumeToday's Scent is Chanel Le Lion. We woke up to a very ridiculous 39F in South Florida, and frankly I needed this. Normally I'd wear Coco on days like this as it gets so little wear, but I woke up craving this one.
/myogBecause I have greyhounds, we tend to use martingales for collars. I don't follow a specific pattern, I just kinda make one based on neck measurements. I replace collars about every 3 years if they make it that long (i.e., if the other half doesn't 'lose' them) I also reuse t
/perfumeToday's scent is one I haven't worn in a while, Caron Farnesiana. Its a cold day, and I just need the snuggly warmth of this one. Sweetish marzipan, lovely sandalwood and pillowy mimosa.
/dogsGigi is the Brindle, Ivy is the black (really snowflake but you can't see them here)
/sewingI used a pattern. https://simplicity.com/simplicity/s9854 I always wanted a silk coat, so I made myself one. The pattern I used is very much oversized, which meant me going down to the smallest size in the pack. Anyway fabric was purchased from FabricmartFabrics The o
