New Papillon bath sparkler added today!
23 January 2012
The USPS raised their shipping rates this weekend. On the national level it's not too bad, but on the International level, prices have sky rocketed 20-30%! The small flat rate box that I try to use most of the time went from $13.95 to $16.95. Shipping a corset has gone from $35 to $50 and up. The last increase already pushed many of you away and now I'm sure many more of you will be forced to order less. I am going to see if there is anything I can do to make it less costly for non-USA customers to order. In the meantime, you will see some changes in the shipping rates in the shopping cart. I hate this and I don't want to lose you guys!!
What a craptastic way to start the lunar new year. SHEESH!
So sorry,
Astrid

I said the Winter Simplicities were coming soon and now they're here! I wanted to make them available to you while I am offering my sales so you can combine shipping. I am still in the bottle stage of many of these, so if you order them along with sale items, this will delay shipping by a few days, but not too terribly long. These will be around while supply remains or through some time in February.
This season I bring you a combination of requests and non-requests, but that I think you will be excited about all the same!
Bergamot Mint
This is a beautiful, herbal mint! Very lovely!
Butterscotch
Exactly as you'd expect for all you sweet tooths out there!
Coffee
Black coffee, diner style.
Green Tea
One of my favorite "go to" ingredients!
Grog
Boozey, buttery, warmed rum. For those chilly, wintery nights. Or days.
Japanese Peppermint
This is my favorite of mints lately. It is dainty and chilly without being too over powering or antiseptic.
Loam
Dirt, earth, ground up mulch. The stuff earthworms would love to roll around in and what you'll find beneath the deep winter snow.
Midseason Orange
A robust, juicy orange. A wonderful burst of citrus! (This is a photosensitizer. Please use with caution during the sunny season.)
Pink Grapefruit
Another explosive citrus and one of my favorites. Feeling down or blue this winter? This will surely cheer you up! Great for depression, stress and anxiety. (This is a photosensitizer. Please use with caution during the sunny season.)
Rice Milk
Exotic and creamy. One of my ingredients in my very popular perfume, Sultrylicious!
White Rose
This is a very, very special oil for me. Once you smell it, you will know why.
You will find these oils also on Etsy in case you prefer to shop over there!
Keep cozy and warm and may you all have a lovely New Year’s Eve no matter how you may celebrate (or not)!
Sparkling, fizzy champagne kisses,
Astrid xoxo

Welcome to Blooddrop’s Winter Wonderland and Holiday update! This year’s wintery perfumes were created with the inspirations of childhood, joy, the beauty of Nature during this time of the year, holiday decorations and some fun girlie themes. I tried not to go too overboard and offer too many new perfumes so as not to overwhelm you, while also bringing back some favorites! To make gift giving a little easier peasier for you, I have a dainty, adorable gifting tin that is just perfect my perfume bottles! They come with crinkle filling inside to pillow your bottle and a bow and tag on the outside. Perfectamundo!
In addition to the new seasonal limited edition perfumes, I have a handful of new flavors of Kiss Kiss Luscious Lip Balm (including plain). You may notice a new, lower price. It is something I will test and see if it is feasible for the long term.
I have also created really wonderful bath salts named in honor of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. I made them specifically with a blend of essential oils to help combat stress (both mental and physical) and anxiety. Winter, particularly the holiday season, is a very difficult time of year for many of us and if I can help alleviate a little bit, then that will make the both of us happy! Plus, the blend of oils is an incredibly cheery scent, so it will also bring some symbolic sunshine to you during the winter doldrums!
A few persons have asked me if I will be bringing back my bath buttern (Beurre de Bain) for this winter. I am not sure yet since I am working on so many things and sales have always been mediocre. If you are interested in it, please let me know. The more who show their interest, the more likely I will make some. My bath items simply do not sell as well as my perfumes, so I have become reluctant to make them from a financial standpoint. I really, really adore making them, but it becomes an expense to me if they do not sell. So that said, if you would be interested in buying some, please let me know!
This season’s limited edition Linen & Chamber Spray (asides from the ones that just might happen to accidentally fall in to some packages, but, you know, this is purely speculation) is a blend of outdoor fragrances that will make your home smell like a wintery forest. This is also lovely for those who have artificial trees and miss the fragrance of a cut tree. A reminder: as with all of my Linen & Chamber Sprays, do not spray this near an open flame or heat source.
Also also! Comforter covers *are* coming! Promise! I have several made, a few to finish up and then will get them all photographed and up on the site. (It is hard being a work-at-home mom and trying to get all this stuff done! Whoa, Nelson!)
Coming a little later this season will be a new group of Simplicity perfumes for Winter, some new Starry Skies perfumes and some new horses.
I am finishing up a special line of holiday limited editions for Scent Addict. You will love this line! Truly! It’s such fun, sexy, sassy and seasonal all at the same time! Keep your eyes over there as well!
The Autumnal limited editions will stick around a little bit longer. I’ve grown accustomed to them and am not ready to say goodbye to them quite yet. Plus, you might find you’d like to offer them as holiday gifts to a friend or co-worker or to a stranger as a random act of kindness (<- dare you to do this! You’d be amazed how neat it is!).
Well, mes cheries, that is it for now! Thanksgiving is this week and I would like to say thank you so very, very, very much to each and every one of you for buying from Blooddrop. When you purchase from Blooddrop, you are supporting a small, one-woman business that also, in turn, supports small businesses. The money you pay to Blooddrop goes also to taking care of lots of animals and a small family that tries to live ethically and aesthetically!

This coupon expires at the end of the day on the 30th of November and it is good for online orders on the website only.
