Checking in with some news and signs of spring

Checking in with some news and signs of spring

I have some possible good news on international shipping. I am setting up international shipping with UPS and should be able to start sending some international packages next week. I won’t know the rates until after Monday. International shipping is expensive; it may be more economical for several people to place a group order and then split the shipping, but at least we will now have some possibilities. I will know more next week.

We have had a lovely teaser of spring weather here that has brought out the daffodils and the yellow mustard blossoms in the vineyards. The picture above shows a vineyard near us about a week ago.

I’ve been having fun snapping pics with a new cell phone camera. This is my first smartphone and first phone with a camera, so you have to excuse my enthusiasm. 🙂 Here are some paperwhites in a pot on my porch.

The plum tree has just opened up almost all its beautiful pink blooms, and now today we are having a downpour of rain. I hope the plum blossoms can survive the storm, but I’ll likely lose a lot of them.

I’ll check in again soon with more news about international shipping, and a few other items of interest.

Thank you for sharing these lovely signs of spring. Your photos are beautiful! I bet many, many perfume lovers are going to rejoice at hearing you will be offering international shipping soon! I am about to send a new friend in France some samples and decants of your lovely scents. I hope spring continues to offer you much wonderment.

Thanks, Julie! I have a few more questions for my UPS rep and she has been out of the office the last few days, so I’m still setting things up. Hoping I’ll have some options soon. Thanks so much for sharing with friends in France! Hope spring treats you well too! 🙂
