NEW HOME for NINA!

"Rose, by any other name.... ( Shakespeare)
Not only does  One Thousand One Hundred Eleven bring the wonder of the New Year it also quite possibly brings me a new home (for my business) and a re-visitation to an old passion of mine. For many many years, I've been praying for an opportunity to have a space of my own but not just a "space" I've spent many, months, days and  hours dreaming of a lofty, airy, free spirited , romantic space to call my own and I just might have found the perfect location to launch Nina Fleurina Scentsory Studio.  Can you imagine being surrounded by fragrant candles, ambiant light, and the fragrant aroma of lavender, vanilla, english toffee, cinnamon, cedar, roses, and over a hundred other fragrances including candles, hand made potpourri, difussers, lotion, creme, shower gel, perfume oil, shower mist and a list of other luxury's.

My new home will be situated in a small college, community in Claremont Ca, just 30 mins from Los Angeles
Soon I will be signing a lease, getting the keys and continuing the Journey of mine in a fabulous Scentsory Studio.

Stay tuned for the Opening Party...

It's begining to smell a lot like Christmas!

If your like me your anticipation for a coveted fragrance looming packaged under the tree this time of year. Oh how I love the smell of Christmas and me this year!

What will you smell like this year?
Please feel free to share...

Feature Friday {Julie Nutting}

I've had the luxury of laying my eyes on the work of a wonderful artist. Julie Nutting is the creator of these amazing couture works of altered art. I've fallen in love since the very first day I spotted them. I mean they're fashionable, feminine and creatively couture what wouldn't I have liked about them.

I discovered her art at an Urban Barn event I was selling at this past summer...unfortunately she left before I got a chance to meet her but since then we've become acquainted via facebook {don't you just love facebook} I do. It didn't matter that we've never met because her art speaks to me every time I see it. I can't wait till I can own an original piece of her work. In the mean-time, feast your eyes on her work via my blog. I hope you fall in love as much as I have.

Be Blessed Friday!

SOX {OF LoVe}

It's that time of year! Being a native {California Girl} I love my flip flops, can't live without them but when the weather gets breezy and the feet get cold, the body gets colder and only a cozy pair of socks and a warm blanket can cure that! My favorite pair of socks, are my super long thigh-high back with white stripe bobby socks! Check out these and share your favorite pair.
