orange peel in simmering water makes the whole house smell wonderful
and puts a little moisture in the air.

Potpourri sounds a bit fuddy-duddy, but the containers are beautiful.

Thanks! I usually have to explain what a pomander is to people. They are
so used to scented candles and plug-ins these days.

Thanks! Turning them was relatively straightforward. I wish I could say
the same about a simple salad bowl I've just completed. That was almost
a disaster.

Blush! Turning passes the time and I'm catching up now. I did a lot in
the 80s and 90s but then my consulting practice got too busy and it's
only recently with the downturn in the oil industry that I have been
able to take it up again.

The scent of those candles makes me feel sick. I would much rather have
something like the ones you are making.

Me too, they're really pretty. I don't really care much for scented candles,
sprays, etc. at all.

Sometimes the scents used to cover smells are worse than the smells they
are supposed to mask. I am not a fan of perfume and there is one
department store in a local mall where I have to hold my nose as I enter
because they have the women's make-up and perfume department there.
There is always a stench in the air and they usually try to get me to
sample a men's cologne. No thanks.

My youngest sons partner bought us an electric diffuser last Christmas. At
first I was sceptical because the bottle of fragrance oil it came with was
not particularly nice (to me) smelling.

However, I looked on Ebay and discovered the vast range of scented oils that
are available and bought some I thought might be ok.

I love vanilla, and there are fruity ones, plus one called cut grass. Now I
add a few drops of one of those on occasion. There is also a cinnamon and
orange oil which is very pleasant.

You'd pretty much have to be an old fart to know what a pomander is. You'd pretty much have to be an old fart to know what a Jethro Tull is. Well, mostly.

people who read are pretty much educated for a variety of reasons.
However, I am an

people know nothing and I tend to agree.

That's the thing about Asian food. Sweetness is considered an important element. The thing about Japanese candy is that it ain't sweet enough. That's goofy! The Brits, on the other hand, know a thing or two about the proper amount of sweet in their sweets!

The one I was given came from M&S, but looking through their website they
dont seem to sell them any more, although John Lewis and Argos do.

There's no reason to expect that a Gen Xer would know about boomer pop culture. Implying that they are ignorant is kind of... ignorant. Do you know what Instagram or Pinterest are? My guess is that you don't. If you do, that's great. Please explain it to me!

Nothing makes a house smell good like baking... and there are
countless flavors/scents.

Thanks! For me it's getting the form right. Take off a mm in one place
and it can make the difference between a good shape and a form that
"sings". For example, I am not as happy with the one on the left in
figured maple(but my sister loves it) as I am with the other two that
are made from relatively plain wood.
