she's also an amazing handmade perfumer! she runs the very successful theme fragrance boutique, the gorgeous theme fragrances, on etsy. i love it! her beautiful shop is filled with gorgeous, modern fragrances that evoke wonderful thoughts! and now... her two newest scents can be YOURS!! for free!!



that's right! theme fragrance is offering 2 of her newest fabulous fragrances:
one Sarong Noir rollon and one Tehani Perfume Rollon, to one lucky rikrakstudio winner!


and i just love what elizabeth writes here: "I love perfumes! My first perfumes I created were made from a science kit when I was 8 years old. Unfortunately my creation of the rotten egg smell was not a success. I moved on to the cooking flavors in my mothers kitchen but alas somewhat limiting with only vanilla and peppermint on hand. Many years down the road, with many bottles of perfumes in my collection, I decided to study perfumery and Theme Fragrance was created." ... wonderful!

so....
