Best wishes for a great Easter weekend! My brother and his family are visiting for the weekend. The girls are dying eggs and looking forward to their Easter egg hunt. They just got a new dog, a beagle mix that they rescued; she’d been used in a research lab, which is really sad, but she has a great home now. She’s very sweet and amazingly trusting considering the life she must have had.
Here’s a lovable face. 🙂 Her name is Belle.
So nice to see the sun today! I went out on the porch at noon for a break to sniff some ingredient samples that came in today and the blue sky was a treat after a week of gray and rain. My Iris pallida have been blooming for a few weeks and are so pretty…
I had a nice visit with family for the New Year’s Eve weekend, and now it’s time to get back to the regular schedule again. Lots of packages are going out tomorrow since it was a mail holiday yesterday. Thanks, Dee, for including Sonoma Scent Studio in your 2011 highlights on BoTO blog! And thank…

I tried some interesting new ingredients and that’s always exciting. Received shipment of a kilo yesterday that had leaked some, but it only lost about…
There was a very nice review of Nostalgie today on Now Smell This. I’m glad Angela likes it! I should have had Rose Volupté samples up by now but they will be up in a day or two. This is a hectic time of year!
I made a separate page today for the fragrance samples to make them easier to find; they are not on the Fragrance page anymore but here on their own page instead. Just wanted to give a heads up so it wouldn’t confuse people when they scroll down the Fragrance page and don’t see them. About…
Oh, what a sweet face and congratulations to them all on their new addition. I hope you and yours have an absolutely wonderful Easter!
Hi Gail! Yes, Belle is such a sweetie. She’s 3 years old and about 15 pounds, but she’s acting like a puppy since she’s discoverng the outside world for the first time. Her tail hardly stops wagging.
Hope your Easter is wonderful too!
