Happy National Book Lovers Day! Most unfortunately it’s also Monday. What fragrance are you wearing? (And what book are you reading?)

I’m in Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile, in the original Eau de Toilette. And I’m in the middle of three books: The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson, Autumn by Ali Smith and Something Fresh (the first in the Blandings Castle series) by PG Wodehouse.

Reminder: 8/13 is Alfred Hitchcock’s birthday (and Friday the 13th)…

Friday scent of the day 8/6

Happy Friday and happy Happiness Happens Month! Our community project for today: wear a happy fragrance, and tell us about something that’s made you happy recently.

Also, PG Wodehouse, who has provided much of my evening reading lately, as a palate cleanser between two somewhat dire books (The Fishermen and Klara and the Sun).

Reminder: 8/13 is Alfred Hitchcock’s birthday (and Friday the 13th)…
