It never happens. I mean NEVER. That I don't have anything to say. What is wrong with me?See, it never happens, I just thought of something I need to say! Or write. I spent some of my evening working on our Spray-On Perfume formulations. My kitchen, well, stinks. I'm sad to say the formulation I was counting on, does not work properly. Back to the drawing board. On a good note, we did locate our FAVORITE spray perfume bottles! I have ten in my possession! YAY! Hopefully soon we can launch our 15ml and 30ml Spray-On Perfume Oil! (Can you hear my cat snoring in the background!??!?! He's really LOUD!)

Heading over to blog on SparklePuss...I am not a patchouli fan but THIS, you've gotta smell!
Today's awesome ETSY FIND:
Yes, this marvel is called DUMBO OCTOPUS. He just hit my "today's awesome etsy find" button. (Though today was a good earring day)! Until I found Etsy.com I had no idea what amigurumi is and now, I'm like addicted to it. More like a secret admirer than a lover, since I don't even know how to knit nor crochet! Hey, this seller is from Seattle, too! Please visit hansigurumi.etsy.com And I love the word "cephalopods", I just wish I had more occasion to say it! Great shop!
to blog.Why is that? It brings new meaning to..."talking to a brick wall"...don't you think? Maybe the best bloggers are those of us who can talk to ourselves...that's how I feel when I write here! I doubt my posts..."who in the world will read my ramblings today", I wonder. At the same time, I totally enjoy the ramblings of others...as long as the ramblings involve shopping! I'm not into reading about the latest disturbing world events.Which brings me to this strange topic. Strange because I never pictured myself writing about Kurt Cobain. I ran across info about Kurt Cobain while researching a new name for my awesome PATCHOULI scent and stumbled upon Vinetta Park while searching Seattle neighborhood names. Giving some background, Vinetta Park was a park I played near as a child. My best friend at the time lived across the street...in an old Seattle home...a huge old home, one with wonderful memories for me...by I digress, we called this park the "Witch Park" because we were convinced it was inhabited by witches, or rather A witch. Anyways, now that I think about it, I don't believe we ever PLAYED there...it was too scary!In my research I learned that Kurt Cobain lived (and died) in the home adjacent to this park. Apparently Cobain and I are nearly the same age and seeing as how he lived in this home I'm familiar with...I read on about his life and death. Though I went to the University of Washington in the late 80s, I wasn't into the grunge scene in Seattle. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana was always a grunge guitar player and a drug addict to me...until last night.Apparently, there are some who believe Cobain was murdered...instead of the suicide that was assumed and reported by the Seattle Police Department and the media. There's just a lot of information on this site following that makes me believe, perhaps, that he WAS murdered. So why write about a deceased 27 year-old musician and drug addict on my perfume blog? Because he was a human being and if in fact he WAS murdered, shouldn't the case be reopened (at the least!!) and the murderer(s) be brought to justice?? The case will never be reopened if we don't talk about it...so I'm talking.Perhaps, Kurt's daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, will be curious as she gets older and will demand the reopening of the case. Unfortunately, many who might be able to help with details have died (or been killed). For now, I'm joining Tom Grant, the private investigator hired by Courtney Love, in trying to bring attention to this most disturbing collection of evidence. Please see his website...and the other links as well...if this happened to me or a loved one, I would want someone to seek justice! I'll give you the privilege of determining your own judgments...http://www.cobaincase.com/And my before my favorite, I just want to say how WEIRD it is to get older in this era where anything I ever loved or hated in my entire life can be read on WIKIPEDIA!!!! And to realize artifacts from my teenage years are considered VINTAGE by many!! Today's awesome ETSY FIND: 
knithappens.etsy.com (cute name!!) brings us these MORKERS. OK, you already know I'm a GenXr and Mork and Mindy was one of my fave shows (yes, along with THE LOVE BOAT) These MORKERS are SO cool!! Have an 'out of this world' day! Nanu-Nanu.
I'm just so giddy about the new Roll-On Perfume Oil labels that we are working on!!! Yeeks, it gives me goosebumps to think about putting them on the bottles! (Am I a total weirdo or WHAT?!?!)
We are approaching getting all the designs finished so we can receive our proofs and go to print.
This company is the most outstanding company I've worked with recently...LightningLabels.com and I would love to see them grow and have tons of business because I like the way they do business...the "can-do" attitude! And my designer Rakel with ingero.etsy.com is AWESOME to work with...I love owning my own business!!
