Tres Combis

Well, I can't believe a day has passed - it's been so pleasant after all despite one or two shocks! We found that Jean wasn't planning on replacing us with China Baths and Pot Pourri.... and Hannah's been a doll all day. She keeps us tidy and smoothes our ruffled packets when children have mauled us with sticky fingers. She does love her handbags by the way, which is only right for a young lady after all - and I just wanted you to know that there are some feminine aspects that we tarts just adore.
"Baby Powder" had a very busy day today, quite stressful - with one customer questioning her license to thrill, but "Egyptian Cotton" was very unsympathetic - ladying it out there on her own personal stand, who does she think she is - Cleopatra???!
"Water Garden" also had her own stand for a while but she played it cool, as a proper little lady should, and we all admired her poise.
There was a buzz around this afternoon when we heard news from our rich Auntie K in Canada, now there's a woman that really understands us, apparently she's still using inflatable furniture (must be some weird canadian custom - I hear they also suck the juice from maple trees - yukk!!).
Speaking of sticky fragrances, we were all a bit concerned about John this morning (especially "Vanilla Cupcake") when Jean mentioned that he kept old cousin "Brown Sugar and Spice" in his drawers!!!! My goodness, how horrific, we thought there could be no worse fate for a tart of any age to endure!! Luckily we found out later that she lives in one of his Study Drawers, with cousin "Ginger Spice Cookie"!! What a relief that was I can tell you, we hadn't seen either of them for a year or so and are relieved to hear that their supposed ordeal was just imaginary!!
"Evening Primrose" and "Fresh Cut Roses" were comparing petal structure with "Rose of Morocco" at lunchtime (you should smell those awful pastie smells from the Club upstairs - yu-u-uk!!) and someone (it must have been "Lavender Sage" - who is very cut up at being discontinued) mentioned the Wars of the Roses. Not a very sensible comment when Jean tells us all not to mention she was from Lancashire, and there were local customers in at the time too!! ........ Anyway, it seems that John is going to ask Auntie Helen to send us messages from Bolton, she's a very grown up lady now you know (and Noel thinks so too!).
Better get on now, we've our petticoats to wax - you don't think we look this good without effort do you? I think it's "Vanilla Lime" in liner for the Tart Warmer tomorrow because we've some flower garlands due in from Cornwall and Jean wants a nice warm Spring fragrance to make them feel at home!! She is thoughtful you know, and we don't care what John says about her - we all like her (even "Island Spa" who caught the sharp end of Jean's tongue after failing to inspire during her warming session).
Now don't be a stranger, we're all here waiting for you - except poor "Cinnamon Stick" who was snapped up in bulk by the But**** when they called (they do miss dear old "Harvest", despite her very Autumnal stickiness!).
See you later X
