Michelle, thank you! I especially appreciate your note, as I've been battling the flu this week and feeling terrible that I don't have a new post up yet. So, you've read those Lisa See novels, too? Isn't her writing so exquisitely moving?

Hi Suzanne -- as always a wonderful post. I love peonies and I loved both of these books!! Now, I am off to apply some lovely scent to help me through tonight's debate. Agghh!!!

Hi Mom. Those peonies certainly were gorgeous, and yep, I think you might be a *litte* bit biased. :-) Miss you & love you! -- S.

Since your latest journal entry noted our gorgeous peonies on the farm, I just wanted to let you know your beautiful writing leaves me wanting to sample all your perfumes. No doubt, I'm prejudiced!!! Love, Mom

Greeneyes, I think you'd really love the Intense Tiare, and there's a great description of it on LuckyScent, as well as one of Donna' wonderful reviews at Perfume-Smellin' Things. I'd be happy to send you a sample from my decant -- just say the word, my friend!
