Arcana Christmas Order - all done, thank you!

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Woo-hoo! For those of you interested, the November Arcana Soaps order is winging its merry way to us as I type. 

Woo-hoo 2! The Arcana Soaps Christmas limited editions are released! I've listed the perfume and soaps at arcanasoapsuk. Just as a heads up, there are scrubs available, but these come up awfully heavy so I'd prefer not to include them this time around. Anything else is fair game though - regular soaps and perfumes and the limited editions soaps and perfumes. 

The Arcana Christmas Order is now open and I'm aiming to leave this order open until 31 December. I've come to the conclusion this is the easiest way. Even if I made this a short order closing next week, it's unlikely I'd get the order in time to send it out before Christmas so I might as well leave the order open all month. If anyone has any other solutions, please do shout! 

The small print: prices are the same as usual (5ml - $10, 10ml - $14, soap - $6 with no changes for limited editions). No PayPal fees, no postage from the US to the UK and possibly a small charge for onwards UK postage (if I get round to it). 

Total: $228

flostygritter: $60
10ml: Solstice Sugar
5ml: Arctic Bear, La Befana, The Ulda, Winternights,
Soap: Hogmanay

_miggins_: $58
10ml: Winternights, La Befana 
5ml: Arctic Bear, Persephone's Flowers, Grasshopper

Mrs R: $22
5ml: Sweet Milk
Soap: Solstice Sugar, Murder Ballad Blues

malabar: $28 ($6 pending)
5ml: Filthy Viking 
Soap: Grasshopper, Filthy Viking, Espionage 

enui_june: $60
5ml: La Befana, Pomegranate, Sweet Milk, Caramelised Coconut, Devilish, Ambrosia

I would be interested (is there an echo in here...?). All the LE Christmas perfumes sound gorgeous. 1 each of those plus a Hogmanay soap would get me up to $56 and I might be persuaded to top it up a little with some regular stuff if we were struggling to reach the target amount.

Seems to be a deafening silence from everyone else though...

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Hehehe... so we broke the deafening silence. ;) I'm going to open the order anyway. There's a few things that I want so I'll be around the $50 mark. We're open for a while so there's always time!

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

The order has landed! I've got to print out what you ordered (because my tiny brain has no idea) and I'll get it packaged and sent this week.

[flostygritter.livejournal.com]

Brilliant, will prepare to stalk the postman!

[flostygritter.livejournal.com]

Just to let you know the parcel has arrived safe and sound, thank you!!! What do I owe you for postage and fees?

On my current order can you bump me up from a 5ml to a 10ml Sugar Solstice, which I think should make my total $60. Cheers m'dear.

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

No, nothing at all. Merry Christmas from me and the franking machine!

You're bumped. I take it you liked that one a lot? I was so disappointed that it didn't work on me, but I seriously want to bath in La Befana.

[flostygritter.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, that is very kind of you!

When I first tried Sugar Solstice I thought I was going to be asking you to take it off my order as I didn't think it was for me at all but I thought I'll see how it develops cos sometimes there can be a big change after being worn for a while and reacting with your skin - and wow! It suddenly became a lovely rich damsony/apricoty spciy smell which transported me back over 30 years to my parents' kitchen on jam making day and I was smitten!

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Damn, I'm jealous! I tried it again and I got some of the cakey smell, but nothing to right home about. How utterly fantastic that it hit a scent memory. I love perfume that does that. =)

Could you wing $60 to hangoverqueen@btinternet.com and in case I don't see you before, have the merriest of Christmases!

[flostygritter.livejournal.com]

It's great when that memory thing happens (providing it's a pleasant memory!) especially when it's something you haven't thought about for years.

Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year!!!

PS Paypal has been sent.

Oh bugger, I can't really stretch to more smellies just now - I've not even ordered BPAL since August :(

Sorry m'dear.

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Don't worry! Some things are more important that perfume. =)

[malabar.livejournal.com]

Yes please! I'd like Filthy Viking 5 mL, Grasshopper soap, & Espionage soap.
So that's 10+12=$22 USD, yes?

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Yes, and you're in. =) I'll let you know next week where to send your pennies. One thing: I may need an alternative for Espionage. I'll ask Julia if it's still around because it was a limited edition from back in the summer.

[malabar.livejournal.com]

If you can't get Espionage or Grasshopper, I'd like Filthy Viking soap and/or
Vampires' Garden. Cheers!

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Any preferences on FV or VG? Grasshopper should be fine because it's a catalogue scent now (and you have no idea how happy that made me!).

When you've got a tick, could you send me your $22. If you pay fees (ie, credit or debit card funded), could you send it to hangoverqueen@btinternet.com. If you don't pay fees, could you send it to hangoverqueen@hotmail.com.

And may I wish you a happy and fragrant Christmas!

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Espionage is still available, so do you want that or are you happy with FV?

PS I'm going to sound stalkerish (eep!), but I got all excited because I know the area where you live! I used to work in the city centre and live about 30 minutes away (now I live about 90 minutes away in the opposite direction).

[malabar.livejournal.com]

FV, please, unless I can pay you more & get both.

Yep, I used to work in the city centre, too, near the BRI. Hurrah for the West Country!

Feel free to add on as much as you like. I'm going to keep the order open a few days longer to give enui_june time to decide - as long as I have it by lunchtime Tuesday, it'll go in the order. Paypal details as before, just don't forget to tell me what you want ordered. =)

[malabar.livejournal.com]

ok, I know I paid $22, and think I ordered 5 mL FV oil, plus FV and Grasshopper soaps. If I want Espionage as well, is that another $6?

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Yep, soaps are $6 each. I'll keep the order open until I've got it from you.

[malabar.livejournal.com]

You should have it any second now...

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Got it! I completely trusted you and placed the order this afternoon. I decided that even if you changed your mind, I'd FORCE myself to keep it for myself. *grins*

[enui-iune.livejournal.com]

I am interested (you temptress...)
I am new to Arcana, do layering notes count as regular perfume or they are something else?

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Ha! That serves me right for letting Christmas take over! I'm a temptress. I like that. *grins*

Layering notes are absolutely regular perfume. You can't get layering note soap (just to clarify), but you can buy 5mls or 10mls, same as the catalogue perfumes and they're the same price, ie, 5ml at $10, 10ml at $14. When you've decided what you want, paypal the total straight over (I don't charge for fees). If you pay fees (ie, credit or debit card funded), could you send it to hangoverqueen@btinternet.com. If you don't pay fees, could you send it to hangoverqueen@hotmail.com.

I'll keep the order open for a few days longer for you, but if you've changed your mind about ordering, let me know.

Happy New Year!

[enui-iune.livejournal.com]

I sent you the payment :)

Happy New Year!

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

Hee! I tempted you GOOD! Great order, by the way - we have similar taste. =)
