I have been traveling for three weeks.  I have been all the way down the East Coast from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Sarasota, Florida with the crystal Siesta beach. I  have gone North crossed the mountains to the Midwest. Sharing Thanksgiving with some relatives is a change for me this year. Seeing people I have not seen in a very long time.

There is healing and closure going on for myself and others. The end of the year…and the  beginning of new things in my life.

So I decided to open my Etsy Store and my website JoAnne Bassett so people can order for the holidays. I will be back in 5 to 7 days to begin shipping for December.

Please get your orders in early so I know what needs to be mailed. I am also in the process of moving so I will close my stores again before Christmas.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.  I am grateful for you all and my lovely perfumes that make people smile, feel good and empowered.

Mothers come in many different categories… Mothers, Stepmothers, Grandmothers, Plant Mothers, Pet Mothers, etc.  I am a Mother to my perfumes and perfume formulas.. I am also a Mother to houseplants, vegetable plants, and rose bushes.  That is a lot of mothering..no human children… but many other children I tend to…

I choose to participate in celebrating myself as I am always busy tending to something also.

A Mother’s Day tradition is to honor a Mother with a gift. A lovely energetic gift that will put a smile on their face is a natural perfume from one of my collections.  There are many perfumes to choose from in many fragrance categories. Citrus and floral are very popular choices for Spring and Summer.  I have compiled a listing of them on my page Choosing a Scent 

Sacred Elixir Collection

Some of my favorites are:

Opulence with the elegance and delight of orange blossoms! A light scent that is so happy to wear.

Ecstasy with Alba rose otto the “flower of light”, jasmine, amber and vanilla to create a fantastic perfume that will envelop you.

Luscious Roses a most precious natural rose perfume containing vanilla, tuberose and 6 different “real” roses.  This is unheard of… most rose perfume on the market is the toxic, synthetic rose fragrance made in a lab.  How can you possibly wear that poison?  To me it is like wearing Roundup weed killer… let that sink in.

Choose your size from 1 ml eau de perfume, 4 ml parfum, 5 ml eau de perfume travel sprayer,  6 ml parfum, and 1 oz eau de perfume.  Do not forget the Divine and Royal Alchemy I add to all of my precious, complex perfumes.

There are also some perfume supplies, gift box sets of botanical perfume, essential oils, etc on my Etsy store.

Enjoy the ritual of applying a natural scent daily … uplift your vibration, feel better, feel more love for yourself and others while opening your heart chakra… it starts there…

Happy Mothers Day to all.

Can you believe we are in May and the first nice weather holiday is upon us?

Memorial Day weekend is the beginning of camping season and spending more time at the lake.  Hiking, fishing, gardening… and just getting our feet in the grass and our fingers in the dirt. I am enjoying my vegetables and flower plants I started from seed.  My rose collection is growing … almost 40 roses in 2 years since I moved to North Carolina. They are hanging out in pots on my deck until they can move into their permanent home.  It is so much fun bringing in the roses and having them at my desk to waft all day long.

I have had some great offers on my company, my brand JoAnne Bassett. Until I receive the cash in my bank it remains for sale.

There are some beautiful vintage oils still available on my Etsy store under Perfumer’s Corner. These are precious and will keep for many years… I have owned some of these vintage oils since 1999.

My Memorial Day sale is 20% off my whole Etsy store.  It is easiest to have a sale on Etsy.  It starts today May 19 and ends May 30.

Remember all of my natural perfumes have royal and divine alchemy preformed on them. The energetic botanical perfumes smell beautiful and raise your vibrations and align you with your highest self. This will bring you more prosperity, more love, more joy, empowerment,  wonderful connections and miracles daily.

Have fun out there.. and remember Memorial Day is also a time of remembering our loved ones who have passed.  I lost my oldest sister this year .. she always loved flowers so I am sure her family will bring some lovely flowers to her resting place. Such a beautiful tradition.

One of my favorite things to do in North Carolina is going to Asheville to the Blue Ridge mountains and going to the Biltmore House. It is the largest house in North America and was built with features of two very beautiful chateaus in France.  The house and grounds are spectacular. They have a wonderful rose garden and wooded areas. On the way from the parking lot to the house I saw a sweet deer.

I recently went to the Biltmore House Candlelight Evenings This could become a holiday tradition. The rooms were decorated with Christmas trees, and every possible holiday decoration you could imagine. In the video they talk about having 60 decorated Christmas trees in the house. The giant tree in the photo sits in the main dining room and is amazing. This special evening the lights were out in the rooms and they had candle burning. People were performing Christmas music on piano, guitar, etc. in different rooms of this grand house. In the kitchen they had a gingerbread house. Truly a lovely and festive evening.

I want to thank all of you for being my friend and clients through all of these years. The last few years have been challenging for all of us. My wish for this season is for more love, joy and peace for all. Starting December 26 I will be having an after Christmas sale at my Etsy store. It will end January 9.  I am in negotiations for the sale of my brand JoAnne Bassett. I will let you know when it all has been completed.

In this time of darkness open your heart and let your light shine.

Ho Ho Ho! The Holidays are starting early this year.

I just returned home from a week away in Boston, Plymouth, and Newport, RI. Celebrating with family and sightseeing for 1 week.

Last year the US postal service and UPS had a hard time keeping up and some people were not able to receive their gift packages in time to present them to their friends and family. I decided to start early this year.

My Holiday sale is on now from November 16 through December 3.  It is only on my Etsy store.  Buy $50.00 or more and receive 20% off.  This is for my whole Etsy store. 

This is a world wide sale on all products on my Etsy store.

Last year I sold a lot of Perfume Kits. They make fabulous gifts.  Sample sets are great stocking stuffers. I have a handful of beautiful foil boxes left.  Precious and rare essential oils and absolutes are available.

Rose Lovers Gifts is another Etsy store I have. Many coffee mugs are available there with photos of my roses and other roses.  I have also added tote bags, shower curtains, bath rugs,  computer cases, pillow covers, pillows with watercolor roses, etc.

I have Perfume Formulas available for sale …with or without the alchemy attached.  Would you like to carry on my legacy?  This is what my intention is with selling the formulas.  I am not selling the Customer List and “my brand JoAnne Bassett”.  I am selling just the perfume formulas and you can begin selling these perfumes that have brought so much joy to so many people for many years.  Send me an email joanne@joannebassett.com if you have further questions.  Please review other blog posts where I talk about the prices and there is more information.

Have a great holiday season… and please get your orders in early!

I am very happy with the results of my sale so far.  There are 2 days left.

I will then ask you to send me money to a friend at joanne@joannebassett.com  at https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/transfer/homepage/pay  This helps to keep down the Paypal fees and I can pass the savings on to you.

I am selling all of my 60+ formulas, and I am in negotiation regarding licensing, and selling my brand and company.  This is my Legacy and I really want to attract the right match of buyers. If anyone has an interest please inquire now as I am reviewing offers for my company now.  People are buying the formulas to expand their personal care lines, etc.  Email to inquire about pricing for the formulas.

The intellectual property – consultations are only considered for the buyer of my brand – company.  If you purchase formulas I am offering a perfume class / perfume workshop for purchase to teach you how to create these fragrances.  I am NOT offering my how to do marketing, where to buy supplies, or any other questions regarding my business. These questions are a part of my intellectual property.  The perfume class is only about making perfume.

My Etsy site contains many items not sold on my website.  A perfume kit, bottles, rare and precious essential oils and absolutes including vintage alba rose otto 2000, jasmine sambac absolute, jasmine grandiflorum absolute, hydro distilled pink lotus oil, hydro distilled frankincense from India and Oman, and hydro distilled St John’s Wort.  When theses oils are gone that is the end. The pink lotus is  not the cheap absolute that is sold on the market…this is entirely a different oil.  The energy is amazing in all of these vintage oils. This is the end of an era.

Hope you are enjoying the summer… I am enjoying my roses and long walks.

Tuberose .. one of the most beautiful natural fragrances I have encountered.  When I was traveling in India for a month in 2000 I saw a field of these growing like corn stalks. Oh the smell was beautiful.  I will never forget it.  The cost of Tuberose absolute is becoming off the charts. My tuberose from India is very precious.  Some of my most popular fragrances contain this natural beauty.

To celebrate Mothers I am offering a 20% off sale on my Etsy store. This is a store that carries perfume supplies, precious essential oils, my popular perfume kit and beautiful perfumes that I no longer sell on my website JoAnne Bassett.

Go there now to find that perfect gift for Mom, yourself or your loved ones. Hurry sale ends May 10, 2021.

Pyramids of Giza

Last year I was scheduled to be in Egypt for my birthday April 1.

Well the best laid plans… it was canceled due to Covid and quarantines.

Valley of the Kings

So this year I am ecstatic that I am able to go with a negative covid test which I have.

Red Sea Coast

I will be swimming and relaxing at the Red Sea.  I will be gone from April 5 until April 20.

If you need to place an order do so now before Monday or wait until April 20.

Once in a while my paypal shopping cart has a hiccup and you cannot put an item in your cart.

Please send me an email and tell me what you were trying to purchase.

I have so many items for sale on this website that I cannot always be checking every item.

I have added some new items to my Etsy store RoseLoversGifts  You can order from this store while I am gone.

This is a drop shipping store and I do not need to be here to mail them out.

There are some coffee and tea mugs that would be great for Mother’s Day or any occasion.

Thank you all for the Birthday wishes!
