It’s Tuesday, Jane Austen’s birthday, and the third night of Hanukkah. RIP Rob Reiner and Anthony Geary. What fragrance are you wearing?
I am commando after a late start this morning, and I’m planning to pick a fragrance from what you all are wearing. Tea at the moment is Tali’s Masala Chai from The Art of Tea.
Reminder: 12/19 is Édith Piaf’s birthday. Scent an Édith Piaf song, or honor Édith Piaf with your fragrance in any other way you see fit.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2025, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: the Sparrow on a Branch teapot (“Yixing clay teapot from Duan Ni, made in the shape of Bian Xi Shi – a variation of the classic Xi Shi. The bottom has a seal of the workshop. The teapot has medium wall thickness, a tightly fitted lid and a nest-shaped strainer that ensures fast and even drainage. Decorated with an engraving of a sparrow sitting on a branch – a symbol of good news”) is UAH2,010 at i-Tea Club in Ukraine.
