...It is some sort of designer scarf....but just cannot think which one! It was very popular years ago...(I think) hope someone can solve this....I can't damn well sleep when I am trying to remember something!!! Why did you pick that particular scarf?

...Cincy....since yesterday, when I looked at your new pictures, of your new perfumes and scarves) I have been trying to remember the red white and blue silk scarf, with the gold tassel print) It is driving me crazy!! I am sure I had this scarf!! Please explain it to me, to jog my fading memory!!! :roll: thanks Dear!!

...Cincy:I have been reading Basenotes is down for New and Improved Site. Yes...wellll.... :roll: :?

...Digindirt:Cincy:I have been wanting all my Parfumo friends to see what is in the box..... lets go look.http://www.parfumo.com/Users/Cincy/Picture/24380keep clicking on next photo till you get to snake picture.I HAD been feeling back to normal until I looked at those photos. My heart can't take it, I need an Aspirin. Somebody call 911, I NEED that box. I'm having withdrawals and I'm shaking like a leaf on a tree. I need a drink, a stiff drink with no ice and I need a sedative. Cripes, I think I'll quit my job and run away to the Antiques store where I can monitor donations. I'm needy, very needy, I need a shot of Royal Lyme!!!What a wonderful collection!! I have the exact bottle of joy...still has some in it, but can't open it now, its stuck firmly) my husband bought it for me in 1972). I loved Diorama, has that years ago! And the scarves are super!! Hope you enjoy each and every one!! Would love to try that royal lyme..it sounds fabulous!! 8)

...I think you are just very tired DD...you do work very hard, and run around a lot, attending all you sons school things etc. You are a great Mom, and with your work, which alone is a hard job), you have so many hours in the day to do everything! We all have off days, and a really good nights sleep....can help a lot! Of course, the chocolate is purely medicinal!! :wink: Perhaps a course of multi-vitamins would help as well! I always take my multi vitamins, as they help me keep my strength up!! :)

...I have been...too busy to even come on here! I have been missing everyone! I have been overrun by my Saga guests! And, they love moaning and complaining about all sorts of things! Luckily, the weather has been wonderful, so try to get them out on excursions as much as possible! I have been wearing my Alien Essence Absolue for days on end...but decided to go with my Coromandel today, as it was really windy, so wanted it waft everywhere! :wink: I love the lovely cat and perfume pics! That cat is one handsome dude!! :lol:

...I'm very sorry Dolby!! I believe they keep the fragrances for themselves...that's just what all the customs people did here, when it was the former Yugoslavia) ....Lovely cheeses from Italy, all sorts of luxury items..they said you couldn't bring them in, so they kept the stuff for themselves). Now it seems to be happening there!! What a load of Bull crap...I went on cheapsmells the other day, just to see if any changes have taken place, but no....still no delivery to Croatia. Yet, they have been posting to EK in Denmark! It just doesn't make any sense at all! :cry:

...I was looking at those tunic things as well, Wichapi!! But, at least we will be modern! :wink:

...I have been shopping and bought a new blouse...a nice one that hides my spare tire :roll:

...I have been trying to catch up with all your news! Sounds like you are all busy, and having a good time! Love the new garden lay out Cincy! What a Fab home tour Di...I would have loved that! I also loved the lovely receipe for the drinky poo! Will try it this summer!! :D

...See what i mean? Double post....back to my laptop i go...

...I have been trying out my new smartie pants phone! And guess what! I can't seee a damn thing!!! I am typing this on my new phone, but believe me....i can't see any of the replies, unless i put it under a microscope! You can make it bigger by pinching it, but even then i'm squinting......so sad....i am gettting tooo old for this...why didn't they have these babies back in the 70's..:(

...I am waiting..with a red carpet!!! As to your fragrance..You Lucky girl!! I love it..what do you think? does it make you happy? I will let you all know, when the boys arrive..CAN"t wait! 8)

...I have been ....reading the lovely invitation...I want to come too!!!! :lol: just kidding...but what a nice invite..I am tooo far away, but can keep up with what is happening here. I have been..very busy,and the month of May will be very busy. I wore my Queen Latifa today..and I think I will give it to my Granddaughter. Please don't laugh..I am not a snob, or do I underestimate fragrances. This is not for me...it is without character..in other words, it isn't presenting itself in a perfume manner!! :wink: More suited to the younger crowd who don't really give a damn about a bit of complex quality :wink: All these winks are wearing me out...I will do a review when I have more time!! Back to the conversion...Miss you all, and will check in as I can! Tomorrow, I will be wearing something with a kick!! :)

...HELLO!! Send the boys here!! This climate would suit them even more, AND I loathe speedo's...but, even that would look better that 70+++ bods lying around the large blue pool! (70 and 80 yr old tourist men, in speedo's...now, that is a VERY depressing site!! :roll: :wink:

...Dulcemio:Liking something so much you can't bear to own it?That is an interesting albeit completely foreign concept to me. I'm too hedonistic. The more I like something, the more I wear it. When I first discovered Chanel 19 in the mid 80's it was a religious experience, I felt overwhelmed by its beauty. And yes, it's fancy (while I am decidedly NOT fancy) but that didn't stop me from wearing it nearly 24/7 for the next 25 years!So, no, sorry, Aromi, I can't relate. And I would like to see you break free of these self-applied chains. I suggest you just force yourself to wear one of these sacred scents of yours, occasion be damned. Then do it again, and again and again. I bet you'll cure this neurosis in no time. :) Yes....this is what I wanted to say. I was such a lover of Opium in the heyday...I wore it day and night! I loved my KL...didn't care if it was strong, I loved it, and wore it...I just wish I had known they wouldn't be available now...maybe I would of stored some bottles..but who knows? Maybe they were meant to worn then...and they were Loud and Proud..it was their time. I love all my fragrances, and want to wear them...and enjoy the moment! :wink:

...I have been .....catching up! Hope your cold is getting better dear Sherapop...We all wish you a speedy recovery, as you are very important to us!!!! The rest of you...continue your lovely comments, and suggestions! I am always behind at the moment, as haven't got the time now, as have in the winter months!! :( But, always have a look to see, what is going on!! :wink:

...Now I am beginning to feel guilty! My beloved Chanel Coromandel..if I don't use it up...I have told my DIL she has to treasure it, and store it properly. I hope I can use it up..before....you know..that I fade out) That is why I use my perfumes!! I want to enjoy them, and talk about them! That is the reason I don't have too many..I love each and every one of them!

...I have been working with a group of volunteers to sweep and tidy a nearby neighborhood. It's a small enclave of businesses, restauarants, 1920s movie theatre (which used to feature vaudeville performances), watchmaker, jewelers, etc near our home that is being upgraded and renovated to its 1920s era stye. Every spring our neighborhood association gathers volunteers to clean up. Nice people and a good feeling when you're done. That sounds so nice! What a lovely sentiment....Well done Diane..I love those small neighborhood things. They are the past...but they are also the future! :)
