As an Australian, getting things sent (I avoided the pun!) out here is often tricky, if you are using glass, there will be greater shipping requirements. Obviously, you already send the bottles, but weight & fragility do add to shipping costs & troubles.<br /><br />I am sure you have thought about this, but just wanted to pipe up from this (distant) end...<br /><br />Maria Merryweather (who has trouble getting the name thingie to work)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408439007099104739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-64797841735732122812012-12-11T17:21:54.161-07:002012-12-11T17:21:54.161-07:00Very much looking forward to seeing this in the fl...Very much looking forward to seeing this in the flesh--they look absolutely gorgeous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-56872419049356183362012-12-09T19:46:34.855-07:002012-12-09T19:46:34.855-07:00Hey SwissChard, what a great poster name! :-) The ...Hey SwissChard, what a great poster name! :-) The 1/4 oz tin is pretty flat, it measure 5/8th inch high. The little mini compacts are even flatter, at 3/8th high.<br /><br />The tins can be recycled. Unfortunately I can't refill the tins for you, but you could scoop the solid perfume out of a larger tins or a honey pot and put it in the smaller one when it gets used up.Illuminated Perfumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774665887359640600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-48477146571242365282012-12-09T19:27:28.125-07:002012-12-09T19:27:28.125-07:00I applaud you Jennifer!

When I first considered the idea of starting a natural perfume company, instead of just teaching, I almost didn't do it because of the packaging dilemma. In the end I feel it was a good move, but it sure is a slippery slope when it comes to running an environmentally conscious company.Illuminated Perfumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774665887359640600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-48027318266764933042012-12-09T17:43:56.771-07:002012-12-09T17:43:56.771-07:00I'm excited to see the glass jars, but I love ...I'm excited to see the glass jars, but I love the letterpress label on the tin. I think a flatter tin might be nice, I've been carrying my honey pot of rosa in my pocket, to keep it close, but it's round shape is visible through my pants. The flat tin would be perfect! I agree it is always good to reduce the plastic around us. Could the tins be refilled? Or recycled? swisschardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119847571618841515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-10280131543664803072012-12-09T16:42:48.507-07:002012-12-09T16:42:48.507-07:00The bee letterpress is classic and beautiful.

I love the idea of the little jars, reminds me of apothecary days. <br /><br />I began taking plastic out of our life about 6 years ago and each year I work on my next green step. I appreciate the extra effort you are going to- for the environment and in ensuring the high quality of beauty that the whole experience of using your perfumes entails. <br /><br />This post, and really the entire journal, illustrates how much care, thought and time you put into the perfumes we receive. Regarding the last post's topic, your prices are NOT high when we think of all you do to make such an amazing scent experience.<br /><br />Thank you for all you do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
