I’ll put the cart back up either late Thursday evening before I go to sleep after spending Thanksgiving with my family, or early Friday morning. I will have to wait on Ambre Noir until we can batch more, but I think the others can go up. I’ll be taking stock tomorrow, and we’ll keep batching next week for the things that are low.

I was able to ship all packages today but one, which could not ship…

There’s a lovely review of Tabac Aurea posted today on I Smell Therefore I Am and the blog is giving away some Tabac samples if you are interested in adding your name to the hat. I’ve had feedback from more people on Tabac now as more samples get out, and it brings up the topic…
Hooray for the wheels back on the cart!
the floral musk sounds like holiday decadence 😀
Thanks, Dabney! Yes, this cart needs the wheels, lol. 🙂
