possets: valentines decant circle
03/05 update: All orders for this circle went out first thing this morning!
03/02 update: So...after I already had most orders all packaged up, on Tuesday night, I realized I had made a rather significant error (it's complicated--I'd rather not go into details here) that required me to unwrap and double-check every single order. It kinda totally sucked. I finished correcting all orders in the wee hours last night/this morning, and have now commenced repackaging. I've got a helper over here so I'm keeping my fingers crossed we'll be able to get things shipped tonight, although I only have a couple hours to spare. Anything that doesn't ship tonight will ship on Monday. I'm sorry for the screwup/holdup :(
02/24 update: Totally false alarm about the vials! I got my shipment from my supplier today! (Apparently their estimate was just extremely conservative.) I'm a couple days behind schedule, but not too bad. These'll be going out sometime in the coming week.
02/21: I'm most of the way through decanting now, but apparently I miscounted how many vials I had left, and am short by about 100 :( I'm currently trying to find someone who can send me that many right away, since my regular supplier takes about 2 weeks. I'll keep you updated! There's enough bottles involved here that everyone's orders are held up until I get these :(
02/19 update: I received these yesterdat--seems there was some snafu with USPS, and my package got routed to another city before making its way to me. I've made pretty good progress already, and expect these to ship this week. Thanks folks!
I placed this order on the 6th and received a shipping notice on the 10th!
Here's what's still up for grabs (in half imp spaces--divide by two if you're looking for fulls. Asterisk = half bottle available):
La Mère De La Bête Noire Cambienne: 9
Besotted: 9*
Billet-Doux: 5*
Chastity Belt: 1
Christine de Pizan: 1
Doomed Love: 1
Eleanor of Aquitaine: 2
Guinevere: 2
Joan of Arc: 4
Lady Z: 8*

The Great Psychiatrist of Babylon: 6*
The High Born Damsel: 9
The Jester: 9
The Romance of the Bees: 3
The Romance of the Rose: 4
The Trobiaritz: 2
The Virgin: 7*
Viking Queen: 1
2/5 update: Huzzah! gypsyjolie's kindly swapping me a 10mL of the La Mere Cambienne, so everyone who wants to can try that one after all!
2/4 update: Oh noes! Apparently both of the Cambiennes are now (probably) sold out :( Sorry folks!
A couple notes about this circle: Because V-Day is less than 2 weeks away now, and shipping times to and from me will probably take at least a week on their own, not even counting decanting, I think it's pretty unlikely that these will get to you in time for Valentine's Day. So please keep that in mind when you're ordering. Also, I'll be doing my simple handmade labels for this circle, rather than the printed labels with the notes that I've done for the last few of them.
I probably won't be able to order scents for which I don't get a total of 2-3 full (4-6 half) decants' worth of requests.
If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.
I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.
