possets: halloween book of the dead decant circle
Geez, these fall scents are killing me here! So much for my decanting hiatus...
11/04 update: Belatedly confirming ship dates. I sent out roughly half the orders on 10/30, and the rest went out on 11/01. As far as I can tell, I never received payments from Jovi or asheleyweeks, so those have not been sent.
10/28 update: These are shipping ASAP. Apologies for not being able to get these to y'all in time for Halloween :( These are up on the Possets site until the end of November, so you should have time to test though!
10/20 update: I received these 2 days ago and finished making all the labels today. Decanting commences tomorrow!

Scents will be italicized when they become definite.
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.
