While other brands have expanded and then discounted, <b><a href="http://www.replica-luxurybags.com/hermes-belt-c-371" rel="nofollow">hermes belt</a></b> has held on to a fine snobbery that has served <b><a href="http://www.replica-luxurybags.com/hermes-wallets-c-368" rel="nofollow">hermes wallet</a></b> well even in the recession. <br />If you want to lose weight quick for whatever reason, you better try <b><a href="http://www.lida-slimming-capsules.com/" rel="nofollow">lida</a></b> slimming products. <b><a href="http://www.lida-slimming-capsules.com/" rel="nofollow">lida daidaihua</a></b> are well-known to reduce a person's weight in a shorter period of time compared to other weight loss products. <b><a href="http://www.lida-slimming-capsules.com/" rel="nofollow">daidaihua</a></b> are really proven to lessen the weight of the person taking <b><a href="http://www.lida-slimming-capsules.com/" rel="nofollow">lida slimming</a></b> . A lot of people today have bad eating habits. They eat a lot of junk food and red meat. But with the <b><a href="http://www.lida-slimming-capsules.com/" rel="nofollow">slimming capsule</a></b> , a person no longer has to join a fitness centre, exercise, or buy machines. He or she only needs to take <b><a href="http://www.lida-slimming-capsules.com/" rel="nofollow">slimming capsules</a></b> and the excess weight goes away.<br />When you have a vintage <b><a href="http://www.luxury-handbags-lady.com/chanel-wallet-c-360" rel="nofollow">Chanel Wallet</a></b> with you, <b><a href="http://www.luxury-handbags-lady.com/" rel="nofollow">Chanel handbags</a></b> becomes a whole different ball game.

My two favorite candles at the moment...Anonymous: <br /><br />My two favorite candles at the moment are: <br /><br />1. Mulholland by Royal Apothic (it smells like LA in springtime -- i.e. now -- when the night jasmine are in full bloom. My husband who never notices candles says it's the best one he's ever smelled...it's flowery clean but not overpowering...<br /><br />(It's coming out this spring; I have a preview candle)<br /><br />2. "Marrakech" by Seda France. Again, everyone who comes into my house when it's lit says, "Mmm. What candle is that?" It's orange, cinnamon and fig, but it's NOT sickly or over-the-top. Three straight guys who hate candles can confirm it. :)<br /><br />http://www.candleluxury.com/seda-france-marrakesh-candle.html<br /><br />3. For a fresh clean slightly tangy-fruit scent, Votivo Red Currant is an oldie but a goodie.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Votivo-Red-Currant-Candle/dp/B001CC0Q5O<br /><br />4. Also, you could get the black Voluspa votive candle set:<br /><br />http://www.zanadia.com/Voluspa-luxury-boxed-votive-gift-set-with-ten-votives-product-1985.aspx<br /><br />or the Creme set: <br /><br />http://www.zanadia.com/Voluspa-luxury-boxed-votive-gift-set-with-ten-product-1986.aspx<br /><br />I have both, and it's a great way to test out scents before you commit to a big 60 hour candle. The votives last a long time, too.<br /><br />Good luck!Lisa Borgnes Giramontihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708026781435832810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-3033352874307021382010-04-22T08:47:44.987-07:002010-04-22T08:47:44.987-07:00One small journal on a string!

The sales person(shame on you, you may have had a fake French accent but your choice for me was way off) over the phone advised me on Via Condoletti..... awful, terrible like an old man's club in london. I spent $50.00 on a manly scent. Now I am off to buy what I originally wanted, a candle that was smelling clean and fresh and non gaggy- anyone have any ideas? Sorry I am just not in the money bracket to throw away another $50.00...thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-72253393497061230952010-04-21T20:16:35.524-07:002010-04-21T20:16:35.524-07:00I have to admit my initial reaction to the picture...I have to admit my initial reaction to the picture of the whole library at once was a mental image of Marley's ghost dragging ledger books chained together.

I just listened to it unabridged on CD while I was sewing one of my last pieces. (David Tomlinson was the narrator-- AMAZING.) I've read it twice as well...can't get enough of that book.<br /><br />PVE: Ooh, I'm loving your idea of a portfolio necklace...!<br /><br />A Gift Wrapped Life: Email me. I'd be happy to give you an earful of Beverley Nichols. He is SOOOO funny! Like Noel Coward trapped in a PG Wodehouse novel. Read "Merry Hall" and you'll be hooked! xx<br /><br />katiedid: When are you coming back to LA? xx<br /><br />Victoria Art: That keychain sounds incredible. I love it. Must check out the book cover purses...<br /><br />Acanthus and Acorn: I want that painting. And I had that "Ex Libris" candle, too! So funny. Penhaligon's "Blenheim Bouquet" reminds me of cigars and old libraries, too. It was Winston Churchill's favorite scent. My husband hates it, so I wear it when he's at work and dream of being an Edwardian. :) <br /><br />Dumbwit Tellher: They are very Victorian...very George Eliot/Bronte-ish/Gaskelly. I like them even more now.<br /><br /><br />Scott Fazzini: I am so honored! When are you going to take Royal Apothic up on his offer and come to LA so we can all meet you??<br /><br />Jane: You MUST do that to that book, if possible. Plus, then you would enjoy it every day.<br /><br />Lisaanne: "Writing Down the Bones" is indeed a good one. Read that years ago. xx<br /><br />Jezebel: Of course you know them. You're the coolest. <br /><br />RosieCampbell/Joanna/TIna Steele/Laura: I'm with you. It's odd, it's eccentric, it's perfect.<br /><br />Kim: Those books sound wonderful.
