National Cinnamon Bun Day

Sometimes reading newsletters is highly educational. According to Demeter's, since 1999, October 4th in Sweden has been celebrated as National Cinnamon Bun Day. I find that symbolic, as October 4th is also the birthday of Little Miss Colombina, who has once been, as they say, my bun in the oven. With that in mind, I think I will mark the occasion by buying Demeter Cinnamon Bun, which, I bet, the Little Miss will love. Available at demeterfragrance.com, $20.00 for 1oz.

  15. Nicola,
    a BALANCED Libra?! :-) A very rare species indeed. possibly just includes your brother and my dad. Take my little one into a toy store (as I will today) to see how hard she finds it to come to a decision, vacillating between options :-D

    Happy Birthday little Ms. Colombina! I will grab for my my cinamon C02 extract before going to bed: this is like sniffing a cubic ton of cinnamon buns!
    May she see an endless row of juicy cimmamon buns in her long life!

  27. Mmmmm, what a delicious birthday present! So how did she like it? I just heard about Demeter's unique fragrances myself, and haven't had a chance to try them yet, so I'd love to her what Little Miss Colombina thought!
