I even fell behind on reading my bloglines subscriptions. I've only just recently gotten caught up on everyone except The Yarn Harlot... I think I'm in March for her.

On a morning quiet enough to count the raindrops pelting the stained-glass windows, Father Centina bowed his head for a moment. He then looked up to the heavens, where all he could see was a battered and leaky roof built nearly
The very word perfume creates a whiff of fragrance in the surroundings. It fills and mesmerizes the senses with a wonderful sensation and feeling. Perfumes have always attracted mankind and how a bottle of perfume is created is a mystery even in this era and age! The art of perfume making is a secret and the selected perfumes are created by specialists who never divulge the ingredients of it. This...

The process of distilling oils from flowers was discovered by an Iranian doctor, and this is the process still used in perfume making today. Modern perfume was first made in 1370 in Hungary, by blending scented oils in an alcoholic...
