Calling all Violets

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you—Nobody—Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise—you know!

How dreary—to be—Somebody!
How public—like a Frog—
To tell one's name—the livelong June—
To an admiring Blog!
................Emily Dickenson (with one obvious liberty.)






I think the reason I love being non-commercial is because only a very specific group of people are drawn to me. These are subtle folk. They have no need to be the biggest, the brightest, just to have the finest.

I admire the Hawks that soar the blog and webspheres. If I were capable of that kind of high flying, I would join them. But I'm shy and secluded. Every once in a while I venture out of my own Ethereal Journey and take a look at what my associates and fellow aromaphiles are up to.

I have to confess tho, I love my tiny nook in the Floral Valley. It's just the right fit for me and my fragrance posse.

If you too, are a 'nobody' with a huge spirit and inner life and have a hankering for your own special perfume, give me a shout. We're small but mighty! Gail
