Num Num Num- Delicious Hand Cream – Num Num Num

This is a job with many ups and many downs, let me tell you, but one of the ups is getting to traipse around town in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week. This morning Eric and I had to go to the Farmer’s Market on very official business, which meant a hearty breakfast at Canter’s and then an obligatory romp through my favorite shops. Usually I’m on the hunt for cute stuff- good color combinations, scallopped and polka dotted things, etc. But today somehow I managed to hunt out the most incredible scents. Fresh donuts, ripe cherries, almond butter, hot coffee, and a million pastry scents all rolled into one gorgeous olfactory journey. YUM! I swear I was on a smell-high.

The best part, though, was a quick sojourn into Anthropologie where I found my new hand cream. Uh huh. I’ve used L’Occitane’s Rose Velvet Cream for a long time, but I found something that I might like even better! It’s called Sugared Pastille from Lollia. Uh huh. I promise the packaging doesn’t lie- this stuff is just as heavenly on your hands as it looks! Behold!

I also picked up a Miel et Citron candle at L’Occitane (partly to apologize for cheating with my hand cream), which I’ve been having dreams about lately. I seriously go crazy for that stuff. I’ve been taking obscenely long whiffs of my honey soap ever since I used up the last candle. Oooh, and I used my scalloped circle punch to make a dozen scented disks out of the packaging! I think I’ll use those for honey scented envelope seals.

Oh yes, and I’ve got a new tape up in the shop today! Tiny Apricot Flowers. So cute.
