Birthday Quiz


Sorry folks, but no-one guessed what was in the gift box I posted on September 11. DH knows that I love perfume, and he's a careful observer. He noticed that a bottle of my favorite scent, Tuscany, by Estee Lauder (the nearly-empty one in front) was getting low. It's been increasingly hard to get but he tracked it down and bought a bottle for me. Behind the perfume is a make-up kit containing lots of lipsticks and other fun cosmetics. Last year he found a company that makes perfume that is no longer sold and he ordered a bottle of a scent, Replique, that I used to wear when we were dating. In addition, he gave both of us a subscription to the Minnesota Opera this season. Gotta love the guy!

  5. Hi, Kate. I love Tuscany and used to wear it all the time. Are they not making it anymore? My husband has been buying me different scents for a year or two, so I didn't realize that it was endangered.

    Happy Belated Birthday!

  7. What a sweetheart of a husband! He sounds like a man who really knows what his woman likes!

    BTW, thanks for asking about the plantation office building on my blog. It used to be a 19th Century doctor's office. This one was renovated as an overseer's office since there is already an old doc's office across the street at Heritage Village.
