relaxation ahead
I am hitting the road in a minute to get my hair cut from an apprentice, who needs a guy to train his skills and prepare for his exams. Well… can’t be too bad, as he has exams in about 2 months. I am expecting an hour relaxation. Uff.
And I can tell you : I need this hour. Yesterday, I made 65 little teaser packs with teasers of the air du désert marocain, the rêverie au jardin and the rose chyprée. I prepared these for a workshop taking place in August in the US, that I feel very happy to support. I glued the sample vials on the cards (sorry Jen!) to make sure that they survive the handling and the transport. The little boxes are foldable business card boxes, simple, but effective to hold give-away teasers. I think I will make more of these for other occasions. Maybe with an extra ribbon or a dedicated sticker.
Then, we did tons of other samples, piles of air du désert, and mountains of sample discovery sets to cope with the last wave of orders from the Sunday newspaper. Funny… it doesn’t sound like a lot of work when writing about it.
And finally: Finishing the Italy leaflet, with Italian text and a slight modification on the picture. We are getting there….
I wish you now a lovely weekend. Relax and sniff!

Andy,
“A workshop taking place in August in the US”
Where? Dates? This could be a Yay moment!

Dear Beverly, it is (unfortunately) not my workshop and it is sold out (I was told) already….
Sorry. I will send the organizer a mail. Maybe he wants to comment?!

Thanks Andy. Any perfume workshop is a good thing, but I would so enjoy meeting you. Maybe next year!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Andy, I’m glad to see that things over there are moving, keeping you busy and alert, and full of creativity. Your fans will be delighted. Have a good nights rest.

Jen - THANK YOU for the link! Trying to find info on the cut-glass mini`s brand…Andy, you need to be “in an Octopusses` Garden in the Shade“, w/ the kindly octopuss getting your teaser/sample sets together for you! (many thanks to the Beatles w/ Ringo on the lead vocals… :-) )

GOOD LORD you’re coming to the US? And did I see that you said “somewhere up there in Pennsylvania?” WHERE?! I need to go, it can’t be that far from me :) Andy you tease us with this information! haha
I hope you enjoyed your hour of relaxation! You deserve it, and more! Have a lovely and hopefully more relaxing weekend :)

Hi Andy, glad you got to relax and get a new haircut after all that hard work! I wish my hair could always look and feel as good as it does after being at the salon. It’s funny, we’re all excited that you could be going to the US. And Pennsylvania (that’s where I grew up!). What kind of workshop is it? Linda, hope that site helped. Were you able to find the bottle? And Andy I also hope the Hyacinth shows up one last time. You’d think if it was all gone someone would have written its last hurrahs. Have a great day.

Hey Andy - the teaser set looks lovely! A box full of surprises :o)
Take care and don’t forget to relax too! May be you need to look if you can help a massage student, who need to train his/her skills too :o)

Andy — it is an excellent weekend !! I came home from work last night after a very stressful and busy week to find my “Swiss treat” in the mailbox. My samples are beautiful and I had to fight the urge to spray all of them at once. Most of all I had to try out Une Rose Chypree–perfect in everyway. I was planning on sharing some with a friend, but it is too tempting to keep everything for myself.
Thank you for your unique creations. I feel so fortunate to have discovered your spectacular scents and I feel very beautiful when wearing them.
xoxo Julie Ellen
ps–if you are coming anywhere near Pennsylvania, New York, etc…you must let us know so that we can be your “scent posse”

I second that “ps” of Julie Ellen’s! :)

Dear Jen
a last hurray. Or someone got it and poured it down the drain because the mechanic was too much :-)
Dear AromaX
That sounds like a perfect idea! And if the massage student is as good as the hair cutting student was than I will be in heaven
Dear Julie Ellen
I thank you! I can promise: If I ever come close to Pennsylvania, I will announce it everywhere
July 12th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Andy, please don’t even think about that possibility…the mechanic and his hyacinths down the drain…NO WAY! :)
