It is a difficult thing to lose an artist too soon. The loss of their potential is what those of us who know them through their art miss the most. That connection between an artist and those drawn to them feels very personal because an artist has the ability to connect with someone on an emotional plane without actually knowing them.

Thanks to Jeroen Oude Sogtoen, Mona's business partner, we have a 5mL rollerball of Rose Etoile de Hollande to giveaway to one lucky reader. That reader is Dream catcher whose name was chosen through a random draw.

Please email michelyn@cafleurebon.com with your address details and Mona's Rose as the subject by July 13, 2012 EST

We announce the winners only on site and on our Facebook page, so Like Cafleurebon and use our RSS option…or your dream prize will be just spilled perfume.
