Once again our Final Friday opening was a success, and the interest continues to be across the board. From essential oils, perfumes, teas and herbal blends. It didn't seem as busy this month, and the interest in the giveaway was met with a bit of confusion. The idea was to have three different essential oil essences under scent globes. Guess the essences and win a bottle of perfume. I had assumed that people knew what essential oil were. Many did not, and thought the essences in the globes were actual perfumes. They were easy by most standards. Lavender, Anise and Geranium. Most people guessed the Anise, but the others were not as easy. One person wrote on their entry form the names of three commercial perfumes as their choices. Unfortunately no one guessed correctly.
I think I will stick to the Olfactory Installations. The next one is at the end of August. Not sure what it will be yet.
I am starting to get more people in during the week, and the interest in our blended and perfumed teas is very good. I am in the process of creating a set of teas for an area eatery, and am planning on doing a class on tea. I am still looking for my tea books. I have several that I had collected over the years. Stored away somewhere in boxes. Still not able to find them. We have so many books. One of our spare bedrooms is stacked full of books. Mr. Z can't resist bargain books and is always coming home with a stack of them. Over time they add up. But on the tea front, I am working on a new collection of perfumed teas, and have some new teas, Organic Fair trade on the way to me now. Can't wait to try them all.
We will be open this week and for the next few weeks Tuesday and Thursday 11am - 3pm.
