The Scent of Things to Come

Today I walked outside during school. I took a deep breath and I smelled Spring Rain. It was so clean and fresh and beautiful. I love the smell of rain in the spring.

When I got home I made me some more of my custom fragranced lotion and perfume since I used the last of both bottles this morning. It has my favorite scent in it- Cedarwood. It is such a clean and fresh scent that I put it in almost everything I make for myself.

Josi has been writing a new culinary mystery series. The first in the series, Lemon Tart, is out (review coming soon) and the second, English Trifle, is due out in Aug. I am on the panel that helps test and try the recipes included in the books. Today she started on the third book and sent us the first recipe to try out. So I got right to trying it out- cake. Yum. Now my whole house smells wonderful.

When I was done with that, I created a fragrance inspired by a book that will be coming out soon. The book is, Tower of Strength, by Annette Lyon. I am not going to do my review today, that will come on April 9th when Annette makes a stop at my blog while on her blog tour.

The week of March 9th, over on her blog, Annette will be giving away a gift set with the custom scent I created. It has Rose, tempered by a touch of Coconut and anchored with White Musk. I call it White Pearl and you will just have to read the book to know why.

So today was filled with the scent of things to come- Spring just around the corner and Annette's new book, The Tower of Strength. And I am so excited for both of them.



Indeed.
