As we approach this new green season let's review what is considered the ultimate in lucky charms in the LPO beauty world to have on hand for your self care. xo

Love,

Libby


Of course we love fresh flowers in every space from the garden as well. Stop by to shop our fresh bouquets this month when in Pescadero.


​When I am designing and hand making all our herbal teas, parfums, and beauty serums, etc...it is as a result from what I am looking for that I need. My needs have remained the same as far as beauty products that sustain and lift me over the past 50 + years, but it has been my joy to discover through the design + product development process what we have now.

What is in your bag, your bedroom, your bathroom? Your car? 

I keep small 5ml and 10ml Roll Ons with me when I am mobile: field office, perfume studio, barn, car, shops. At Home I choose the 50ml Pump / and or 100ml Pump because I want to slather it on my entire body to keep me moisturized. Ok so that's the Washes, Toners + Beauty Serums. 

When I find one of the Seasonal Parfums I fall for I make sure to have a 15ml Spray in my purse or car, and a 30ml or 60ml Spray at home. I love this so much to shift my mood when I am on the go and when I land back in my nest at home.

There are some other essentials I love too that are on my Top Ten Must Have LPO List. Ok let's see the list.

Sensitive Facial Wash 30ml

A decade ago more of my work as a perfumer was done for private clients, dear friends + spiritual family. That's how Dirty Sexy Love Parfum was born in and around 2009. I want to give you an insider's glimpse into how I designed the  four distinct parfums that make up this best selling very highly sought after aphrodisiac. My Notes from the design time frame are useful with some poetic nuanced ramblings to remind me what I was building upon.

This year has been so good for the pollinators in our Scent Garden. Let me share. It's very exciting to watch the changes over the seasons.

"As the waves of perfume, heliotrope, rose,
Float in the garden when o wind blows,
Come to us, go from us, whence no one knows;

So the old tunes float in my mind,
And go from me leaving no trace behind,
Like fragrance borne on the hush of the wind.

But in the instant the airs remain
I know the laughter and the pain
Of times that will not come again.

I try to catch at many a tune
Like petals of light fallen from the moon,
Broken and bright on a dark lagoon,

But they float away - - for who can hold
Youth, or perfume or the moon's gold."

Sara Teasdale 1920

We will soon put the dahlias to bed for the winter season. We are going to be planting hundreds of daffodils, anemones, narcissus, ranunculous and more for a burst of colour in the spring season and our bouquets.

The shops are filled to the brim with treasure for your holiday gifting now. Our official shop hours remain Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon from 12 to 4pm. However, I am often there on those days at least an hour earlier, and also on Wed, Thu sometimes.

If you need help with gift ideas, send me your list of beloveds, and theme and I will help you by email. Meanwhile, how about this rain? I know the garden is totally soaking it up. Hope this missive finds you well, and I am working on a Scent Journey Menu for your perusal, and will be up in the shops this weekend, along with a refresh of all our testers.

Thanks everyone, for your support this year. By tipping the garden when you shop with us, we have the ability to do repair and maintenance in the garden. This year we accomplished a few of our projects thanks to you. For deeper levels of support, we have membership options on our online shop + you can ask to join the garden membership for 2022 anytime you are in the shops.

Much Love,

Libby
