{my Love Potion No. 9 soap sitting on top of the coolest book. Have you heard of *Rob Ryan?}

Happy Valentine's Day (weekend) everyone!

For the record, I think Valentine's Day is a little played out.....all the pressure to be in a relationship and to celebrate the fact on February 14th, in a very specific way.

But I do love, love......so here is a little Valentine from me to you.

{but don't get any funny ideas...I think we should just be friends}

Stop by Capers in West Seattle before Monday, and with any Sweet Petula purchase, the nice ladies behind the counter will throw in a bar of my Love Potion No. 9 soap.

*I love Rob Ryan! He is an amazing paper artist that uses lasers to cut and design images. My favorite is "Can We Shall We." It is a special laser cut he made just for Valentine's Day. You can see many of his images in the book I mentioned above. It is also available at Capers.

"Can We? Shall We? One day very soon, let us go away together, just you and me. Can We? Shall We? Call in sick one day and travel to the sea and hold hands all day. Can We? Shall We? Eat our sandwiches on the train, get drunk on fresh air and come home tired and never tell anyone...Ever."

We have a WINNER! (three actually!)

I tricked you when I said I was picking A winner for these earrings by Trillium....I'm picking three! Thanks to everyone who submitted your favorite holiday traditions. I chose my three favorites...and here they are:

#1 Jen for her tradition

"My favorite tradition is being Elfy and Elfo with my sister for our 2 nieces. For the past 10 years Elfy and Elfo (2 of Santa's elves) have been sending and leaving little gifts for Maya and Grace during the several weeks leading up to Christmas." Thanks for sharing Jen! And thank you for teaching me the word/name Elfo...I plan on using it. A lot. I also have to admit, that when I went to your blog to find your contact info, I came across this photo of Mr. T. Quite frankly, Mr. T tipped the scales in your winning direction.

best. costume. ever.

Winner #2 Gets these great gold dangles...drum roll please.....Myisha! You Win! I loved your tradition of picking themes for the celebration. Great idea.

And our last (but not least) winner is Celeste B. Celeste won these snowflake earrings from Trillium. Her winning tradition is dressing up her dog Ollie in sweaters, drinking hot cider, and listening to non-traditional Christmas music. I love it!

So...big winners, message me with your address and I'll send you your prizes.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

lavender, lavender, lavender!

Everyone always asks me what my favorite scent is. It is lavender. Herbal & fresh & clean, Lavender always smells good to me. It is one fragrance I never tire of and one of my favorite scent memories....(Tuscany, lavender plants outside my window, lots of rain, loss of power...I could go on, but I will not.)

I'm having a Lavender Month special over at Sweet Petula until June 30th. All Spa Luxury products in Fresh Lavender are 1/2 off!

Shop on-line before June 30th, and regardless of your favorite scent (lavender, lemon, bay....whatever you fancy) I'll throw in a bar of my newest Petite Shea Butter Soap in Sea Salt & Lavender.

winner!

The winner of our "what have you done for love" contest is Barbara L! Barbara wins $50 worth of Sweet Petula product for sharing her story. What's her story? Well....here it is.

January 11th, 2009 my husband Ernie and I, (that's them up there..aren't they cute?), met while playing Poker Palace on MySpace.

After hours of playing together we switched to IM (you had me at IM), and talked through the whole night. While we originally intended to be just friends (boys never want to be just friends Barbara...true documented fact), it was a very short time before he stole my heart. (I think he had a plan with that whole "just friends" idea he sold you on.)

He finally convinced me to meet him and I flew to North Carolina to meet him Valentine's weekend. My plan was if he ended up being some weird0, I could get back on the plane and head home. (good thinking B.....if he came to you how would you get rid of him?) Well things went great, (I think B left out a bunch of good stuff here...but who am I to pry?), and after I flew home I couldn't stop thinking about him. But....(oh B, your soooo practical) I just didn't see how things could work out. I even tried breaking it off. (don't do it B...love will find a way) He wouldn't hear of it. (Hooray for Ernie!) He gave up everything-job & home...and he and his son Hank moved here on March 27th. We married May 9th, less than 4 months from meeting. I now have three additional children and two grand babies. I can only say to all of those still looking...never give up. (and I can only ask....does Ernie have a brother?) You never know when souls who are meant to be together will find each other, or how. -Mrs. Locklear (Happy Valentine's Day Barbara & Ernie....you won because your story rocks!)

Giveaway Time!

New year, new Giveaway! This giveaway is completely unrelated to bath & body products of any type. So it is a bit of a departure from past contests.

While I was packing up the Madison Valley shop, I found about 4 brand spanking new CinemaTherapy books. This series of books is to help you decide what movie you should watch depending on your mood. Pretty fun. There are cool movie quotes and interesting movie tidbits sprinkled in. And you probably want one..right?

To enter, post a reply telling me your favorite movie. Better yet, tell me what your favorite movie is depending on whichever mood you happen to be in. Multiple postings perfectly acceptable. The winner will be chosen based on entirely on MY mood and dependant on the recommendation that appeals to me the most. Very democratic...I know.
