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.

I am having a small sale of 9 Items on my Etsy store. Some of my best sellers are included like my Perfume Kit and my Natural Perfume First Aid Kit.

Go there and check it out!

I have 36 roses growing in pots now.  It is so much fun getting back to growing more roses… of different types.

This year I am also experimenting with growing vegetables from seed in pots also.  There is hard red clay in North Carolina and pots are much easier for now.

There are many flowering trees, red bud trees, bulbs blooming, and forsythia blooms in my neighborhood.  Also the pine pollen is covering everything. Welcome to Spring!

On this day I would like to remind everyone that there is no such thing as competition. We really are only competing with ourselves. Read that again. Relationships have been lost to this addiction we have in our culture. Do better than yesterday and never mind where someone else is in their journey..it is their life not yours. This time on earth is all about the choices YOU make.. not the woman down the street or at the office.. they have their own choices…

I created many natural perfumes that are in support of people on many levels.. All people!  My alchemy was added to all perfumes to raise our vibrations.. to love and above on the Hawkin’s scale. Peace, joy, love, enlightenment.. These are the levels my perfumes activate in you. Quantum Physics makes it so..

Watch your self talk during the day… no complaining… no putting your self down.  Do some self care everyday.  Whether that means going for a walk or taking a bath, or spraying on some of my mood elevating natural perfumes.

Some of my collections are especially for empowerment. Empowerment is the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights. My Empowerment Collection contains:

Opulence for self esteem, Indulgence for confidence, Temptress for sensuality, Dark Mistress for sexuality, and 1/2 ml Luscious Roses eau de perfume to open your heart, for self love, and for the ability to give and receive love and abundance.

Another favorite perfume from the Empowerment Collection is

Radiance: Empowering women one breath at a time.

Radiate in your feminine essence! Feel your brilliance. Don’t dim your light.

An elegant, refreshing, citrus floral with a hint of spice and light and mellow patchouli. Like a breath of fresh air. The intention is empowerment.

One of my most popular fragrances I have is in my Sovereign Collection sold on Etsy.  Become Sovereign..

Perfect As I AM eau de perfume
Just as the name implies believe in yourself! Release all unworthiness. You are whole so embrace yourself fully. This perfume is a very beautiful floral. Spray this on and give yourself a big hug. When you love and appreciate yourself, you become sovereign. You create your world.

For a beautiful gift for yourself or friends, go to my shop Rose Lovers Gifts on Etsy and choose large coffee mugs, tea mugs, tote bags, computer laptop sleeves, rugs, pillows, and shower curtains.. all with photos of roses or watercolor roses on them.

Be the best you can be.. begin it today! Enjoy!

In the winter season especially in cold climates there are a lot of gray, dreary, rainy days that are very depressing. Some people just want to go back to bed.  With cooler temperatures and going to work in the dark and getting home in the dark when the sun sets at 5:00 pm it seems like you never see the light of day.  There is a condition called SAD – Seasonal affective disorder occurs in climates where there is less sunlight at certain times of the year. Symptoms include fatigue, depression, hopelessness, and social withdrawal.

Depression of any kind can lead to thoughts of suicide.  If a person feels that there is no longer anything to live for after loosing a loved one, loosing a job or other loss it may escalate to suicide.

The last few years many people have expressed hardship, loss on many levels.  Quarantine made many of us lonely, sad, and we were left to sit with our feelings. The chaos of the world and the stress of the unknown have done major damage in some lives. The virus and threat of losing our freedoms with the need of Health Passports and other controls by the government may be the final straw for some.

I have received many perfume orders for my cheerful fragrances such as Liquid Sunshine, Happy, Kiss of Gentleness,  Radiance  and others. When I lived in the Seattle area for 10 years we were experiencing record rainfall. It was very depressing with gray skies and mist or rain most of the time.  I created Reveiller eau de toilette with St. John’s Wort that is used for depression.  It helped some of my friends at the time.  If you are experiencing any of the symptons like fatigue and social withdrawl get help.  Try some natural perfumes to spray on that are encoded with higher vibrations like peace love and joy.

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.

I am now selling my Brand – JoAnne Bassett Perfumes, my entire company and all its assets. Cash sale only.

Have a great holiday season!

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!
