Meanwhile...

Meanwhile...
I love all creatures. I consider them, all of them, to be sentient beings... I write thrillers, fantasy, mysteries, gothic horror, romantic adventure, occult, Noir, westerns and various types of short stories. I also re-tell traditional folk tales and make old fairy tales carefully cracked. I'm often awake very early in the morning. A cuppa, and fifteen minutes later I'm usually writing something. ;)

Attar Of Roses...

Attar of roses was first made in Persia, very long ago, when someone noticed that rose blossoms hanging over water dropped their petals into a pool. There was formed on the surface of the water a very fragrant oil. This was attar of roses. The way the oil is extracted is the same as it was back then... Damask roses, or Old World roses, petals are floated in a tray of water that is left in the sun. With a cotton ball the oil is soaked up and squeezed into a bottle. Attar of rose is extremely precious for it's rarity. I collected only 1/4 of an oz. of it the year I decided to make it, - only 1/4 an oz. from all my roses! [The most expensive perfume contains attar of roses. The perfume "Joy" is one.] ❤... 😃
