No pressure or anything...)<br /><br />You're so right, Olfacta. I don't remember often enough how these perfumes came to me. It's a good image to keep in mind.<br /><br />I keep vowing to follow your example, ScentScelf, but I keep falling off the wagon. I have 2 (yes, <I>2</I>) sets of beautiful china, 12 place settings for each, and I never use any of it. Both of them are inherited, and somehow I think by preserving them I'm hanging onto the past. It's ridiculous.<br /><br />Did you already know this painting, Mary? It was new to me. I thought it was irresistible, especially the gorgeous colors.BitterGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262639525430954930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039707457010939097.post-88793826072110349362009-05-12T19:15:00.000-05:002009-05-12T19:15:00.000-05:00Well, I don't know about the Ma Griffe, but you kn...Well, I don't know about the Ma Griffe, but you know I just love that painting....Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577766593643216036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039707457010939097.post-60660196440111677172009-05-12T10:37:00.000-05:002009-05-12T10:37:00.000-05:00You remind me that I keep on bringing up this stru...You remind me that I keep on bringing up this struggle in fresh apparitions throughout my life. When I was little, I sought to preserve ephemera from my grandparents' lives...they were around and still quite healthy, mind you...just that they were discarding things that seemed fascinating to me, such clear markers of a particular time and life.<br /><br />But, as you all are so clearly recognizing, what's the point of hoarding? I now eat off the precious dinnerware; I chide my mother for stashing "goodies" I bring to her; and if I bother to search out a precious old (or new) 'fume, I'm gonna use it...either on myself or by sharing.<br /><br />Senescence.

How many of these vintage scents came from someone's dresser drawer -- someone who was saving them for a "special occasion" only to find that there weren't enough of them?<br /><br />I think that every day is a special occasion.Olfactahttp://olfactarama.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039707457010939097.post-10553503291597523152009-05-12T05:44:00.000-05:002009-05-12T05:44:00.000-05:00Perfume as Bodhisattva ... teaching the First Nobl...Perfume as Bodhisattva ... teaching the First Noble Truth. <br /><br />Well, even though everything arises and everything passes away, I'm sorry to hear of your loss.jmcleod76https://www.blogger.com/profile/17756115118582961551noreply@blogger.com
