A few years ago, I stumbled upon a beautiful Perfumes and Hand fans boutique, in my home island of Martinique. I gasped and my eyes widened in disbelief. Had I just landed in Heaven? I am fussy with scents, but those elegant, unique hand held fans had my attention. I felt like a child in a sweets shop. " Hum..what shall I pick?.." My newly acquired snake skin fan had now become an essential, endearing accessory.

Heat...hot flashes...making a statement...., a beautiful fan always makes an impression. One for the car, one for the handbag. One for his pocket, one for the bedside table. One as a gift... or two. Let's say no more and start collecting and enjoying. Imagine what your great grandchildren will think when they find this heirloom. Fans can be traced as far back as Ancient Egypt, and we are not about to let them die. - Françoise.
