I just realized that my 200th post would be an announcement that I am on PST again today, and since that is a bit unromantic I decided to post a little look back over the ride I had in the last months since the inception of OT.
Olfactoria’s Travels published its first post on October 30, 2010.
I was delighted that apparently three other people besides my husband had somehow found it.
A lot has happened since then. In those short months my blog has become an important outlet for me, I view it as my job, actually. My time for me, my project apart from changing diapers and playing Knights and Pirates. My place for thoughts, feelings, adult conversations and shared passions.
I found so many lovely people in this short time, that have taken on an important part in my life, I wouldn’t want to miss any of you any more.
I love writing, I love perfume, my blog offers the ideal place to combine the two. But it would be nothing without the people to take it upon themselves to visit, read, comment. I am so grateful to all of you, whether you read silently or engage me in conversation, without you it would be a lonely venture indeed.
So here is to the next 200 posts and more, I hope. I do not plan on stopping any time soon, I hope you do not plan on staying away.
Thank you for making Olfactoria’s Travels into something I am proud of.
Warm hugs,
B

I only found your blog recently but it’s already become a part of my daily reading. I enjoy you level-headed, witty, insightful writing. It entertains me and it makes me think. No small feat 😉 Keep blogging! 😀

Thank you! I am glad you found me too!
Congratulations! 🙂
You often make me feel jealous (and lazy) how you manage to write each day and each post is well-written when at the same time you have 2 small children at home. Bravo!
Ines,
there is really no reason to feel lazy, the blog is my master plan to stay sane. And therefore it is imperative I use it daily! 😉
B, congratulations on your 200th post! I can’t even begin to say just how much I appreciate you – or how much a part of my daily routine you’ve become! 😉 Your unique perspective and your writing have broadened my horizons and brightened up my day – so here’s anticipating the next 200 – or more? 😉
Thank you, dear T!
Your comments are such an enriching part of this blog, I am honored to be part of your daily routine. 🙂
YAY! Keep writing. You know I’m a fan and I’ll be here reading.
Jen,
it is good to know you are here. I will certainly keep writing. Thank you for your regular input, its the communication that makes every blog come alive.
Congrats! While I was just lurking I read all your reviews and ended up sampling a good deal of them. 😀 You write beautifully, and I’m often surprised at how spot on the imagery you use are. Here’s to the next 200 and more!
Dear RH,
thank you for the compliment. I am glad you found some ideas here and proud you took the time to read all my reviews.
Great you decided to de-lurk, I appreciate your comments very much! 🙂
Congratulations on your 200th post! Well done! I do enjoy reading you even if I don’t usually comment. Keep up the good work, and here’s to the next 200…
Hello, Queen Cupcake! Thank you for your nice words and thanks for commenting this time! 🙂
Happy 200th!
Thanks! 🙂
Many congratulations on your 200th post, dear B! I’m glad to haer that you get so much out of writing this blog because I’ve gained so much from reading it, not least the opportunity to get to know you. The blogosphere has become a much richer place since you added OT to it. As long as you are here writing, I’ll be here happily reading and commenting x
