It’s Tuesday and National Cake Day. Birthdays: William Cowper, Mary Edwards Walker, Eugène Ionesco, Tina Turner, Marilynne Robinson, Elizabeth Blackburn. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m commando for a routine doctor appointment later this morning. Tea at the moment is Upton Meleng Estate Assam.
Reminder: on 11/29, pick your Black Friday poison: wear the last fragrance you bought, wear a cheap thrill, or wear a fragrance you love but refuse to buy in a full size because it’s too expensive. (We’ve done this project several times.)
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2024, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: the Fir Branches with Golden Pinecone Teapot from Augarten (“…with intricately hand-painted pine branches and golden pinecones. Elegantly adorning the Belvedere shape, a classic Augarten pattern designed in 1735, which has a gentle scalloped rim”) is $$1,251 (oh my) at Kneen & Co.
