    Demeter Grass is pretty summery! Not the accurate representation of a freshly mown lawn I’d hoped for, but still nice and green.

    We’re in the middle of a heat wave: going up to 34°C in a couple hours, humidex of 43°, and tomorrow it’ll be worse, thunderstorms and a humidex of 46°. Thank goodness for air conditioning.

      Dagnabbit I put the wrong thing in the wrong place. What I MEANT to say was that perfumed fans used to be a thing and maybe they should be again: wouldn’t this be nice wafting a breath of lilac or vetiver while you cooled yourself off?

        Yes!

        And there are two other designs if you buy direct from Fable England:

    A few weeks ago I was at a conference in an ultra-modern building with poor airflow. Two of us has had brought paper fans (sadly unscented, because it was one of *those* conferences) and the looks of admiration and envy-!

      Nice! I don’t know why I don’t have one in my backpack at all times.

    I do this! I scent my fans!
    I have quite a collection and it’s a must for my handbag in the summer because it’s so hot.
    This fan is also very lovely.

    Delighted by the people on here who are fans of fans, as it were. If anyone is visiting London, perhaps you would enjoy visiting this museum

    https://www.thefanmuseum.org.uk/

    A friend (with whom I have visited London every December, pandemic years excepted, since 1997) & I went to this museum many years ago & just loved it. Fans made from every material imaginable, including charcoal, which sticks in my memory! Highly recommended, & can’t believe it’s so inexpensive to visit all these years later.

    Fable England has such cute stuff. I got my kids their bird and animal charm bracelets and necklaces, makeup bags, and hair scrunchies for Christmas and also treated myself to a woodland animals scarf. Not sure I really ~need a fan, but headed over to Beautyhabit right now anyway 🙂

    I have carried a hand fan in my purse for years but now that I’m through with menopause, I’ve turned into a chilly old lady, so the fans have been removed. Love the idea of a scented fan.
