Perfumes

So I have to admit that I never was really into perfumes. I was never a smelly person, even after a hard work out at the gym! Through high school I would use some popular chain store 'body splashes' but as we all know, they don't last very long. I started wearing a lightly scented french perfume, Lemon and Verbena, when I came over to Poland. I started getting compliments from many people that I smelled really good and that's when I got into wearing more and more. I guess positive reinforcement really works!

It started off slow, buying some perfume here and there of some basic scents, nothing too fancy. Then a year ago I found Etsy. That's when the real problem begain. I stumbled upon Modern Atelier on Etsy. I started looking through her shop and couldn't decide what to try out first. I ended up buying 4 of the sale scents to see how good the perfumes really were. I got them in the mail and you could smell the perfume through the envelope - and let me tell you that they smelled good! I was trying to go through a bottle of perfume I already had before I started anything new, but that didn't keep me from buying more! I ended up buying 4 more..some 'winter' scents and some 'summer' scents. I only got through one of my winter scents during the winter and now I'm using a summer scent. They all smell wonderful and I love that after my 1oz bottle is out I get to try something new out!

The next perfume seller that I have purchased from is The Starshine Company. They make both home fragrance oils as well as perfume oils. Since I am already addicted to perfume I thought that I would probably love home fragrance oils as well. I was right. I ended up purchasing 3 perfumes and 3 home fragrance oils. I use the home fragrance oils daily and they smell devine. The perfume oils also smell super but I haven't had the chance to try them out yet.

Both Modern Atelier and The Starshine Company shipped quickly and securely. I recommend them for any perfume that you plan on purchasing for yourself or as a gift!

Market Bags & Patches

Feeling torn about buying a market bag with a great screen print on it and making one myself, I started to search for some great patches. I found and bought some great patches that I can sew onto bags that I make myself - a perfect compromise!

I got this patch from andyeatsonlycandy

The next two patches I got from RMIA. The first one is for recycling and the second one is perfect for any crafter - DIY Do or Die
Go search for your own patches and make some rockin' customized bags to your liking!

Purchase - Pendants

About a month ago I made two purchases from two different sellers for similar items. I purchased two dictonary pendants from Arete (love & hope) and one map pendant from Objects of Affection (Krakow).
Love and Hope are my two favorite words of inspiration and Kraków is my favorite city in Europe; I spent a year living there from 2006-2007. These pendants are just the right size that I can wear all three together and not have it be too bulky. They are just perfect and came out wonderfully!
