solitude sunday

solitude sunday is our day to read a book. i continue with shady characters, the secret life of punctuation, symbols and other typographical marks by keith houston.  eric gill was an artist who created typography fonts. he authored a 1931 book entitled essay. included in this thesis written during the rise of industralization, gill stated that arts and crafts ideology was the blending of "simplicity of expression and richness of meaning".

whimsical wednesday

we are celebrating international favorite fragrance day for whimsical wednesday! what fragrance do you like? use that fragrance in a special way today; wear the fragrance in the form of perfume, bring flowers of that fragrance into the house (not only will it fill the air with a lovely scent but it will look pretty), write a note to someone and scent it before you send it! share your favorite fragrance activity with the whimsey project.

i made a bottle of homemade air freshener (febreze). here's the recipe:
4 tablespoons of baking soda
3 tablespoons of fabric softener
3 cups of lukewarm water

blend the baking soda and fabric softener, pour into bottle that has a spray attachment.
add the water.
shake well before using as it does separate.

the fabric softener i used was light floral scent. to use one of my favorite fragrances, i added about 6 drops of lavender essence.

another way to add scent to the house with a fragrance i like is simple.
cut an X into a lemon and squeeze it to "open" the lemon.
set the lemon on a dish or in a pretty container and place in an area that needs to be freshened, like the bathroom or a closet.
the lemon will dry out and then you can put it down the garbage disposal. grind it up and the kitchen sink smells wonderful.

i like shalimar perfume so i dabbed a bit behind each ear for favorite fragrance day!

solitude sunday

solitude sunday at the whimsey project. our day to spend time with a book. i began reading one book this morning then decided otherwise. it was yet again another memoir when i thought it was something else. i will read it but, after a series of such books, i need a shift in what to read and think about. thus, i started shady characters by keith houston. mr houston writes about punctuation, symbols and other typographical marks we use when we construct prose.
