It’s Almost-Friday, National Panda Day and Jerry Jeff Walker’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm copying Aurora, a day late, in Cartier Baiser Volé.
Reminder: on 3/17, wear green for St Patrick's Day. (This is a repeat, probably many times over.)
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2023, where I'll try (but obviously sometimes fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Helllooooo! Long-time-no-sniff!
I haven’t reached into the perfume cupboard, yet, but I’m thinking No. 19 in some version or another sounds pretty lovely for today. Hope you are all well! <3
Oh, and an update for those who remember me. . . I’m still teaching science and health, still in Portland, OR. I’ve slowly started going to fragrance events and shops again, and met Linda Pilkington of OJ at the end of last year and the gentleman behind Scents of Wood a few weeks ago. I came out of the SoW event with 6 labeled tester strips of things I wanted more time with before I commit to any purchases. Maybe this weekend I’ll wander over to Fumerie and begin giving them more consideration. I don’t think of myself as drawn to woody scents in general, but many in the line have a depth that I found fascinating.
I remember you
Nice to “see” you again <3
Nice to “see” you, too!
I remember you too and have missed your posts. Glad life is good and fragrant for you!
Thank you! I miss this community, too. I buy so many more fragrances when I hang around here, though!☺️
I hear you!
I remember you, Marjorie Rose! I haven’t been around as much, either.
Linda Pilkington was at Arielle Shoshana here in Northern Virginia a few years ago. Isn’t she delightful?
Hello! Yes, she was very warm, and it was lovely to hear her thoughts on creating a distinctive line.
I remember you!
It’s been a long time. Good to see you and know you are well.
Thank you. Hope you are well, too?
Doing well thanks!
It wasn’t that long ago I asked about you on here. I was wondering where you went. Glad to see you back.
Aww. Thank you. It’s nice to know my absence was noted. Fragrance has mostly been a “grazing at shops” hobby for me (I never need another pile if samples, but will certainly still have them). COVID made it harder to explore them the way I prefer, but I’m feeling like I am able to dabble a bit again.
Hey Marjorie Rose!
Hey, Robin! So glad to see you’re still cultivating and hosting this wonderful community! Hope you’ve been well?
Very well…we are just chugging along here. Hope you’ll drop by again
Of course we remember you! Nice to see you and hear an update. Those fragrance events sound like great fun.
It’s really a treat to get the inside scoop!
Marjorie Rose, I was just thinking about you! 🤗 Welcome back! I wish I could go to Fumerie with you again….
No 19 is always a good choice. Glad you’re well!
Hello!! Always happy to make a play date!
Hi there m hope all is well
Hello, Kanuka! We’re hanging in there. How about you?
It’s nice to see you back here, Marjorie Rose!
Welcome back any time, glad to hear from you.
Welcome back!! I am really enjoying Scents of Wood, I have four bottles so far and a few travel sprays.
Welcome back! Been wondering what you’ve been up to lately.
Hey neighbor! I was wondering if I’d run into you at any of the Fumerie events. I feel like I keep running into Josh from Imaginary Authors and often think of our sample exchanges.
Nice to see you back, Marjorie Rose! 👋🏻
Thank you! Nice to see you, too!
Hiya! Good to see you again!
Hiya! Thanks!
Nice to see you!
Good to see you, Marjorie Rose! I always enjoyed your comments.
I remember you! Glad to hear that you’ve been doing all right. How is Mr. Spicebomb?
Hello! He’s doing well. He just got back from a week in Florida (half business, half baseball), making me jealous with his tan in March.
Welcome back, Marjorie Rose!
I’m wearing Dryad, from a sample I found tucked away in a bag of samples I got from Luckyscent and then forgot about. Perfect for the CP.
I love / loathe forgotten samples!
Just curious, Robin, but why do you loathe forgotten samples?
I don’t know, I guess I have too many samples and this nagging sense I’ll never try them all, if that makes any sense.
Retroactive twins. I wore Dryad yesterday. From a sample I found tucked away in a bag of samples I got from Luckyscent. : )
😄
I was running late to an appointment this morning and grabbed the first perfume I saw, which is Rosine Rose d’Homme, a beautiful leather rose. Back to green tomorrow.
Dear fellow Norell lover, I had planned to wear Synthetic Jungle in the afternoon when Norell wore off. I am happy to report that Norell stuck around and smelled gorgeous all day long😊
I’ll get mine out to put on this afternoon 😊
💕
I’m in Diptyque Philosykos from an older square bottle. I believe it’s one of the first 3 or so perfumes I bought after diving in on perfume. Really enjoying it! Added some JM Poppy & Barley for fig+, got a little soap there, but the combo works nicely, if slightly less green.
It’s cloudy here, with a high of 51. I’m good with this.
Happy Thursday!
You smell great! I think it was my second bottle.
Nothing green about Todd Oldham, an enchanting, unjustly ignored mid-nineties oriental. Lutens for beginners: spices, fruits (mostly peach), and a whole lot of ambery vanilla.
Nothing green about my SOTD today either
I have been failing at the CP this week.
I am thinking a Jo Malone for tomorrow or Ninfeo Mio
Well ltsg, I am failing right along side you.
Today is Silky Woods.
Woods could be considered “green” 😂
Sounds so nice. I think he has started making clothes and jewellery again, using material that has been ‘ in storage’ since the 1990s when he stopped designing. A re-use project with collaborators, but I don’t know if this includes perfume.
Boy, does that sound nice. I bet you smell wonderful!
Alahiiine today
Volunteering later and will pick two books at the library, the Sheltering Sky and Edith Whartons Morocco memoir.
wearing some makeup today..Viseart Paris eye shadow pallet and EL double wear.
You smell amazing. ❤️
Why thank you!
Alahiine is gorgeous
I found The Sheltering Sky rather sad, but I read it a long time ago! I will be interested to read what your take on it is in this day and age…
Same, probably read it in college or shortly thereafter.
I responded to you yesterday about books and my volunteer work. Not sure if you read or not, but I did give you a book recommendation.
Always wondered what Alahine smelled like. Can you describe it?
I did! Those are some volunteering jobs that I am sure require a lot of patience and I lot of empathy. Congrats on your 26 sober years.
I put that book on my growing list
How does Alahine smell..or as I type it Alahiiiiine
I will cut and paste Angela’s thoughts on NST since this is how I feel about it as well.
“The website describes Alahine as “an alluring soft amber,” but I’d say whether or not you like Alahine will depend on how you feel about ylang ylang. To me, Alahine is an oriental treatment of ylang ylang. Alahine takes the flower’s cold cream-like scent and spins it with amber, sandalwood, and vanilla. The result is a ylang ylang crème brûlée lightened with rose and dusted with powder. It’s warm, thick, sweet, and feminine — comforting without being maternal. Its sillage is moderate, and its lasting power is excellent.”
Thanks. I have wondered about that scent for a long time. It pops up here quite frequently.

This is quite a cool memory/ conversation piece about visiting Paul Bowles throughout the 1990s at his home in Tangier, and also the author Mohamed Mrabet . I might join you in reading Sheltering Sky as I last read it in the 80s and also remember it as sad.
I started the book. Thank you for the link
I have to give back my Mishima book since someone has a hold on it. I will finish that one later..
I chose Azemour this morning, and am saving No. 19 for tomorrow.
Azemour! I might wear that tomorrow.
I might wear that today! Slept late and still commando.
I’m wearing it now–thanks for the suggestion!
Hey, happy to help!
Wearing Guerlain Vetiver for the CP.
We are having a warmer and more pleasant day today in the upper 50s, which is very welcomed! I am definitely taking a long walk at lunchtime. Counting the hours for spring to officially arrive!
Happy almost Friday! ☘️🍀
Perfect weather, perfect scent. 4 more days!!
We are almost there! 💃
Here’s hoping we get a few weeks of lovely Spring temps this year!
Fingers crossed!✌🏻
Had an impromptu interview today at another grocery store. I was encouraged to apply since I have 16 years experience. Wearing no 5 today.
Hope it goes well!
Good luck!
Fingers crossed!
Good luck, hope it went well
More fingers crossed!
Good luck with the results of the interview!
Best of luck, Dawn! 🍀
More Good Luck vibes!
Yesterday morning I got a surprise email from the Hillwood Estate, Museum, and Gardens: it was Marjorie Merriweather Post’s birthday, and they were celebrating with the launch of Cocktails at Eight, a fragrance inspired by Marjorie’s life at Hillwood.
“Created with Molly Ray Parfums, Cocktails at Eight, named in in honor of the hour Post would serve cocktails to guests at her legendary dinner parties, is a fresh and floral scent that evokes the experience of wandering through the gardens and enjoying an elegant evening with Post.”
This effervescent floral scent would indeed be just the thing to put on with a stylish frock for a fun evening at your friend’s mansion. It also reminds me how relaxing life was before cellphones.
I asked the Hillwood official presiding over the launch how they developed the perfume, e.g., did they give Molly Ray a brief and test samples, or what? She emphasized that they first spent a lot of time thinking about and discussing what Marjorie was like and what fragrances she wore. But, she added, they didn’t want to go too vintage.
Apparently, Marjorie’s granddaughter still lives in Georgetown and is active on the Hillwood Board of Directors. She remembered what her grandmother smelled like and still has Marjorie’s beautiful crystal perfume bottles. I asked what brands Marjorie wore and was told they were mostly Creed, and very rosy.
Apologies, I wasn’t taking notes so of course I can’t recall the names of either the person presiding over the event or the granddaughter.
Speaking of floral notes, the Hillwood greenhouse is full of fabulous orchids right now, and so many different orchid scents. If you’re in the DC Metro area, Hillwood is especially worth visiting during Orchid Month and for the Determined Women exhibit.
I really love Cocktails at Eight! I bought a bottle and am hoping it’s possible to order samples of other Molly Ray Parfums fragrances. She is based in Seattle and appears to be active in local events. Has anyone tried her perfumes?
https://mollyrayparfums.com/featured-in
I loved reading this ❤️. What a fun experience, and now you have a perfume memory from being there 🌸
And you sent it to me and I am behind as always…even on thanking you, so thank you! Will announce tomorrow or Saturday.
That will be great!
So many people in the DC area don’t know about Hillwood, and it’s easy to visit — just a few blocks from the Van Ness Metro Station, and they have parking.
How fascinating, what a great story. I will read up on Hillwood now.
MMP had the most amazing life — the Wikipedia chapter on provides a good outline.
Link to Hillwood:
https://hillwoodmuseum.org/
What an interesting history, especially prior to the abolition of slavery. Incredible. Thank you.
Thank you for an interesting post, glad you like the perfume, I like its name.
So many wonderful things to see and do in the DC area. Adding Hillwood to the list!
Nice! I was there in September 2018!
Very chilly here this morning. In fact some might say frigid! Dense frost on the truck and camper this morning. I can’t do green when it’s this cold so I went with Vero Profumo Naja which I haven’t worn in a good long while. It’s a lovely warm base with a gentle wispy floral note that brings your minds eye to new buds and bright green unfurling leaves suggesting spring is surely coming. Hopefully soon, for LillyJo’s sake. 😉
And in the interest of customer service, I have to say I’ve had TWO amazing experiences the past two days. Both completely unexpected, both of which left me stunned and so hopeful for humanity! 😉 Won’t go into detail because it’s really not important, but when you have just about given up on the entire possibility of even mediocre service, along comes an amazing experience that has you whistling Dixie in hopes that this might become the new norm, snapping your fingers like the cool cat you are, and dancing along to a very uplifting internal song. So appreciated! 😄
Happy Almost Friday Day! ✌🏼
How wonderful you had some positive experiences for a change!
I know!! Totally ruining my reputation as a bitter, crusty, get off my grass, stay in your own lane, cantankerous, old curmudgeon. I’m going to do a 180* turn and become Miss Toxic Positivity because even though they say the end of the world is nigh, every cloud has a silver lining..! 😁
I’m always so grateful when I encounter people, sometimes in very humble jobs, who take pride in what they are doing, in doing it well, and going the extra mile for the customer. It can bring tears to my eyes, even.
Beyond grateful, full on DELIGHTED!
Good for you, Deva, and enjoy the rest of your day! 😎
Thank you, and right back at you! ✌🏼
I like the twist you put on the cp. Nicely done! ☘️
Thanks! I did try today.👍🏼
Sometimes a small act of kindness has an outsized impact.
This is very true but to be honest it was a BIG act of kindness, which is even more rare. ☺️
And even better, w00t w00t!
When good things happen to good people …
Also, I saw your comment yesterday. This time, I feel like it was my fault for not being vigilant but I may be able to eke out one month’s credit.
Also a PSA: fragrancenet.com has a wide selection of Nesti Dante soaps on sale right now. Kevin reviewed some of them a few years back and they are great!

Villages & Monasteries! I still love it.
Wow, there’s a great selection, too. These are perfect to keep in mind when reaching for the free shipping threshold.
So beautifully wrapped, too — I should stock up for small gifts.
Lalique Amethyst and a large cup of English breakfast tea ☕️.
I am babysitting my granddaughter today. Her Mom (my daughter) went back to work last week.
Baby is three months old already 🎀 💕
Have a great day, how special.
Enjoy your day. We have a grandbaby coming in mid-May. I can’t even imagine it!
Congratulations!
That’s coming up quickly! How exciting.
Enjoy the time with your granddaughter.
Thanks ! She’s napping now 😄
She’s such a sweet baby
Sounds lovely!
It has been a good day. I think I’m getting the hang of it. Things are a lot different from when my kids were babies though.
Wow, time flies!
In Iris Torrefie today – it’s on my top-five, never want to be without list. I hope the new bottle did not mean a change in the scent, but I’m not worried about running out anytime soon. It occurred to me today that it has some of the same appeal that the old Je Reviens has. Not sure you can map notes, but the overall effect on me is similar.
*ears perk* — effect similar to Je Reviens??? I will need to try this one!
“Effect:” exactly. I think you might really like this one, SP.
Oooh this one is on my radar as well! Love iris but I’m wary of the coffee note, does it stick around for long?
Good question.
I think not, to the degree that if you are not thinking “coffee” you would think there was some wood notes, or maybe just cardamom!
Wearing Cristalle – this is the easiest-to-follow CP week ever…
Ha. Agreed. Greens for weeks.
Silences. Original version.
It doesn’t get much more CP compliant than this. All the points for me.
You smell great!
Yes, I do! One of my favorites.
Silences is *so* good!
My plan was to wear No. 19 today and Ormonde Woman tomorrow. But I didn’t feel like No. 19, so instead I am in Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche. For me it has a bit of greens with the lemon and an ambery woodsy drydown (I don’t get lemon pie like so many say on Fragrantica). So I’m counting those greens as a partial point. ;D
I am thoroughly enjoying our blue skies and springlike weather (finally) here in Seattle. I hope we’ll pass this on to all of you–I’m so sorry about all the terrible weather some of you are experiencing. I have a long walk planned shortly.
I was also considering No 19 but skipped it today… It’s a lovely perfume but I need to be in the right mood for it.
Allure Blanche sounds lovely though!
Yes, I have to be in the mood, also. Not sure when that will be!
Hmm, I might copy you tomorrow if I can find my little decant. Thanks for the idea!
Great, join me!
Glad to hear that you have come out from under the atmospheric river!
I’m in Amaranthine for the 3rd day in a row. It’s strangely addictive! Today I am getting a bit more of the rose, which combined with the milky facets reminds me of a rose latte… so delicious. The green banana peel accord inspired me to eat my fruit this morning. Perfume is good for you
I went to the dentist yesterday and as it turns out I have a cracked tooth that needs a crown… and maybe a root canal. I’m pretty nervous about the cost and experience as I keep on hearing of crowns popping off after eating sticky foods. Any personal stories about getting a tooth crown is greatly appreciated!
Hi pfsh. You are smelling good! I have had several crowns and not one has popped off or caused a problem, and I eat everything. Unfortunately, I do find them expensive. But still, teeth are important! Best of luck.
Thank you friend, that’s good to know!
I have a couple of crowns and they’ve been no trouble at all. The expense is another story.
Thanks for sharing <3 I shall have to be brave with my wallet!
If they’re well done, they can last for a long time. If not, the problems will snowball (in pain, time, and expense). Make extra sure your dentist is really expert at this. Are they the same dentist that gave you the filling that failed?
Although perhaps I’m being a bit severe. My dental hygienist told me in 2020/2021 that they were seeing so many cracked teeth when people finally started returning for care after the Covid lockdowns. And if you regularly eat popcorn and almonds, or chew ice, it’s kind of inevitable.
Also, you inspired me to get out Amaranthine — which is a rather shocking shade of amber-orange!? Was it always this color and I forgot?
Yes! Mine is also orange and it most definitely wasn’t before. Still smells as good as I remembered though. I wonder which ingredient is causing the color change…
The temporary crowns can pop off pretty easily if you’re not careful, but I’ve never lost a proper crown or had any trouble with one at all.
I have 3 crowns. Getting them was no big deal, except for the one that required a root canal. That was a little more involved, and uncomfortable. But I was never prescribed painkillers for it, just told to take Advil at 4 hour intervals.
I’ve had only 1 of them come off, and it was easy to get an emergency appointment to have it put back on. My dentist said that sometimes it happens and not to worry about it. I had been eating gummy licorice Scotty dogs at the time, and had had the crown for several years by then.
No problems other than that one incident.
I have had bad teeth my whole life, with many root canals and crowns. Honestly as long as you are numbed up there really isn’t any pain. I do try to avoid eating anything hard or sticky, but I think people with normal teeth are usually fine to do so.
Wearing Nettle and Wild Achillea ( yarrow) and trying to decide whether to spend a few hours in the library going through 1993 suffrage centenary archives, or bunking to do thrift shops, or weeding (so much blackberry and chickweed). Waiting for sunrise so I can decide…so dark now in the mornings as we are still on summertime and it gets a bit dire around now…still have light in the evenings but the mornings are as black as black.
St Patricks today and the worst day for broken glass in town as the students start drinking at 9am and are drunk by lunchtime, and smashing bottles …even worse when it’s a Friday as they get settled for the weekend. The graveyard will be a disaster zone of rubbish and human waste , as they party up that way.
wow..sounds like the students enjoy St Patty’s too much lol
Smashing bottles is going too far! The emergency rooms must dread this holiday now.
Oh dear.
We get quite a bit of drinking, and it is not worth driving on Friday night, but broken glass is too much.
I’m dreading driving home tomorrow night. I hate all of the drinking holidays. I also hate people that party in cemeteries.
Ick. Sounds like St. Patty’s is full on madness for you.
Never did understand the allure of partying in the graveyard. Or green beer, for that matter.
I don’t understand that kind of partying — the destruction, broken glass and human waste??!! Ugh. I hope your holiday stays safe and sane at least.
You have convinced me to work at home tomorrow. I remember NY Penn being a zoo.
I’m in Balenciaga Le Dix today, which might be a little much for the warm weather. Enjoying it anyway.
I’ll have to find something for tomorrow – I’m thinking Bel Respiro, from a decant I’ll have to locate. 🧐
I had my gallbladder removed last Friday. It was getting to be time, so I just scheduled it. So glad I got that done!
I hope you’re recovering well.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Best wishes for your convalescence, Le Dix is so lovely.
speedy recovery
Get better soon
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Yeow! Hope that your recovery continues to be quick and uneventful.
You smell elegant, Nancyleandros. I hope your recuperation is swift!
Good for you. Hope you heal quickly!
Thanks, y’all! I’m getting along okay, walking/drinking water/sleeping well. I appreciate all of the well wishes. ❤️❤️❤️
Wishes for a speedy recovery. My sister had hers done laparoscopically.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
I’m thinking about OJ Woman today. I wore it on Monday, I don’t usually wear the same perfume twice in a week, but it just seems right today.
Sometimes you gotta go the extra day
Today I put on SL Vetiver Oriental, since it’s one of my “warmest” greens, and I’ve felt chilly all day. I think it’s been the wind – our house is on the older side, and when it’s windy, the flaws in its insulation make themselves known. 🌬️🥶🧣
Drafty old house twins lol
Triplets!
You smell wonderful. I hope VO made you feel a little more cozy today. 🤗
Thanks, it helped!
You smell elegant and coolvRobin.
Smoothies is apples (Ariane variety from France) and yogurt
I picked an Aqua Allegoria Angélique-Lilas for the CP but it was rather forgettable and didn’t last on a coldish day, I will retry it in summer. Tonight it’s 100 Bon Myrrhe et Encens Mystérieux, that one is definitely sticking around even though it’s an all natural.
You’ve mentioned that Myrrhe et Encens Mysterieux before, IIRC.
You have a good memory, it’s a meditative incense, church-like, it must be the best of the 100 Bon (I have two others which are not as impressive although pleasant).
A gorgeous day here that could very easily be mistaken for early Spring. The wind is gone, and the sun is still out. Temps *almost* hit 60 here! A neighbor’s forsythia has loads of fat yellow buds and a few flowers on it already. And my crab apple tree is starting to have both leaves and flowers buds burst out.
SOTD = still in Casmir.
I’m so jealous of almost 60 degrees! I will be back in the 20s by Saturday.
This weather isn’t going to last. Pretty soon it will be back in the 40’s and 50’s here again.
But you still would love to have those temps, right?
Absolutely! Maybe the end of next week.
Same here with forsythias and magnolias. Even though the forcast for us shows temperatures in the 40’s and 50’s, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get another front cold from nowhere. Let’s hope for best!
No magnolias near me, alas. I know there are some in the area, though. I’m surprised that I haven’t seen any hyacinth in bloom yet.
Enjoy the great weather, it’s early spring in your neck of the woods, here it’s still crocuses and daffodils so far. Forsythias are so cheerful.
Thanks! It was really nice not to have to wear gloves and a coat to take out the garbage this afternoon, lol.
You and Casmir! I hope the weather gods shine their light upon us.
My niece texted me today and asked if I could take her toddler daughter out this weekend so she could get some cleaning done. I’ve never watched her alone before and don’t really know what to expect. I almost would rather clean for her instead… almost.
Today I am wearing Guerlain Rose Cherie. I was enjoying it until I got a work related headache.
I wouldn’t know what to expect either.
Too bad a work related headache messed up your SOTD.
Yeah I hate it when that happens. I am feeling better now but won’t apply any more scent tonight.
How old is your niece? I’ve baby sat plenty and the best part is that I spoiled them and gave them back!
She’s 4. I’m just nervous because I haven’t run after a little one in a long time. She can be quick!
SOTD = Chanel No.19 EDP
I won the Internet again today 🤣 with this beauty!

So I went into the office today (not my usual day) as I may not go in tomorrow on account of the St. Patrick’s Day parade. I mentioned THE parade yesterday to someone at work and he said “What parade?” I literally rolled my eyes because New York City! He had the audacity to say he thinks it’s bigger in Philly. Now I am not into boasting about size, but there really is no comparison!
I think there was a controversial parade last year due to disagreements over who can and cannot march. Whatever it is, I cannot stand inebriated “kids” who can be really obnoxious at all hours. And green beer, fuggedaboudit.
Yesterday while driving I saw a house lit up with lights. At first I thought they still had their Christmas lights up then realized that the lights were all green! I has completely forgot about the holiday.
I think because it comes out of nowhere and it’s not even a proper holiday!
Agreed!
I’m thinking the guy at work was just messing with you. Looking to get a rise?
Nope and I can only say this because 2 other people gave me the huh?
What is it about St. Patrick’s Day *this* year that is bringing out the jerks in full force?
I wouldn’t say it was jerky, just unaware. Maybe there were many signs for me but 2 of the people work in my same office…the other guy lives in Pennsylvania.
I’m in the Green Queen herself today, No. 19 in the vintage EDT. I have a day off work tomorrow so today is very busy!
Enjoy your day off tomorrow!
Thanks! I’m looking forward to it.
Enjoy your day off!
Thank you! And we’ll have nice weather tomorrow so it should be an especially good day.
You smell amazing – enjoy your day off tomorrow!
Thanks, allo!
A super busy day, and I’m posting late, so I’ll just note here that SOTD is Un Jardin sur le Toit — after someone mentioned another “Jardin” yesterday, I figured (green) apples and (green) pears would work. I’m liking it today but not loving it. But at least I got to wear it in the sunshine!
Back to work (giving a talk tomorrow afternoon for which I am not yet fully prepared).
Good luck tomorrow. I am sure you will do great!
Yay for sunshine! And best of luck with your talk tomorrow! 🌈
Yay for sunshine! And best of luck with your talk tomorrow! 🌈
And CM8’s perfume stutter has found me tonight!
Break a leg!
Wearing my find at Marshall’s last night, EA Green Tea. It was a smaller store, but still fun to wander around after sitting in a vehicle for 8 days straight.
We arrived home at noon today! So thankful to be back. Still cleaning up but everything is inside. Probably 8 loads of laundry to do starting tomorrow.
Welcome home!
Thank you! It’s nice to be here, even with the giant mess.
Yay! So glad you’re home safely and soundly😀
On the road with limited access. I’m wearing Jo Malone Honey & Crocus. Happy to be heading home Saturday.
Home meaning Montreal?
Home to San Diego tomorrow, home to Montreal 3/27.
