A little Perfume Story

Once a upon a time,
on a vintage land,
this vintage lady,
with a vintage perfume collection
and with a vintage habit to buy vintage perfume bottles,
bought a vintage perfume lot
she was ecstatic and happy when she won
and wait and wait
until the day before christmas
and there it was
The box...
She was so happy and could not wait to see the bottles on all their beauty...
But she had to go, it was christmas, no time to enjoy peacefully the joy of discovery,
so she took the box unopen with her to join the family on christmas celebration on a cousin house,thinking she will find the moment on the outcoming days to open it...
but then, grey clouds on the sky, form the worst spell to the vintage land and to the vintage lady without she knowing it...
it was the strongest spell ever seen...
the box misteriously disappear...
everybody look and look around that big house and nobody could find it.
a heartbroken vintage lady come back to her vintage land without her vintage perfume lot,without her beloved box...
And mercifully time pass on the vintage land, but the vintage lady never lose hope
and pray to the perfume Gods to make her beloved box appear....
And one day they answer :
It rain and rain and rain
and the clear water dissolved the worst spell ever over a vintage box...
and from the other land a message was send to the vintage lady land:
her beloved BOX APPEAR!!
She dance on celebration and thank the perfume Gods for their help and told all her friends about her happiness.

THE END.

In the "aja"moment i became hook forever. I want it to learn more about it and become an avid learner,become a window shopper, an spectator.a small seller (to support this expensive love) and above all a perfume lover forever.
