Today I’m recovering from the Seattle Artisan Fragrance
Salon, unpacking bags and boxes, downloading photos from my camera, taking care
of university stuff that fell through the cracks last week, and updating my
website with the three new fragrances that I launched at the show. While I was posting this, a review of two of the new fragrances came out on Cafleurebon, along with a drawing for a full bottle of your choice!
Today was also the day of the drawing for samples of the
three new fragrances along with a small box of chocolates to go with Seattle
Chocolate.
I decided to draw two winners: Nadja and Miss Conduct.
If you are a winner, please e-mail me and send me your
correct full name and mailing address. You can find my e-mail here under the
profile section. I worry a little about the chocolate truffles melting during
shipping, so if you think this might be a problem, let me know and I’ll just
send the samples.
Not having to travel to get to the show had its pros and
cons. The good thing was that we could load everything into the car and bring
more items than if we had to travel. Best of all was the ability to bring some
live orchid plants to decorate the table, and the ability to procrastinate on
packing until the night before. The down side was that, not having to factor in
shipping time, I did wait until the very last minute to prepare everything.
We had a perfect day to be on the pier overlooking Puget
Sound. The sun was shining full force, and the outside temperature was actually
warm enough to be comfortable in short sleeves, sandals, and no winter coat! I
had two new banners that really made the display look nice. Attendance wasn’t
as good as it could have been, but those who did attend all seemed genuinely
interested. There didn’t seem to be as many walk-ins from the chocolate salon
as there had been in San Francisco, possibly because the two events were in
separate rooms.
I launched three new fragrances, California Chocolate,
Tropic of Capricorn, and Seattle Chocolate. All of them were well-received at
the salon, and are now listed for sale on my website. I’ve written about California
Chocolate and Tropic of Capricorn before, and will write about the making of
Seattle Chocolate within the next day or two.
For now, I’m happy to be home with no travel coming up any
time soon.
