Most of our customers are aware of the availability issues with Claire Burke. For the past 2 months we have been unable to obtain product while their warehouse was shut down due to management changes. Recently we announced that The Haunted Home and Pomegranate Plum would not be available for Fall 2007, as previously promised.

This week we were advised of additional changes to the Holiday scent offerings. Christmas Memories and Oh Christmas Tree will still be available by November 2007. However, there will not be any Simmering Oils, Ceramics or Bag Potpourri.

They will be able to provide the much-awaited Electric Fragrance Warmer Refills in these 2 scents; however it will be mid-December before they arrive. We have been able to procure many candles, Vapourri and limited amounts of the Potpourri in Crystal Bowls in the Christmas Memories scent.

Oh Christmas Tree is a bit more limited. There will not be any Potpourri, Simmering Oil or Ceramic items. We will have Votive, Shimmer and Tealight Candles. There will be plug-in warmer refills available by mid-December.

It is incredibly disappointing to me that we will not be able to obtain the new ceramic items that were so darn cute! There was a Fireplace Simmer Set and beautiful ceramic filled candles. Maybe they’ll have them next year!

In an attempt to service our very loyal customers, we will be offering you several alternative fragrances:

Instead of Oh Christmas Tree, we offer you:

Timberleaf by Greenleaf and Whispering Pines by Enchanted Meadow. There will be Potpourri, Room Spray, Reed Diffusers & Refills, Sachets, Candles and Refresher Oils suitable for Lamp Rings.

Instead of Christmas Memories, we offer you:

Spirit of Christmas by Enchanted Meadow and Christmas Traditions by Greenleaf. We will have Potpourri, Room Spray, Reed Diffusers & Refills, Sachets, Candles and Refresher Oils suitable for Lamp Rings.

Also, until more Claire Burke Apple Jack & Peel arrives, please consider the Greenleaf Apple Spice & Cinnamon which will be on our website by this weekend.

For those of you who may have shopped the Claire Burke Factory website and returned to Fresh Bet, give us a call and we will gladly extend to you a 5% discount for future purchases. We want your continued business and this is our way of saying Thank You for your loyalty!

As always, whenever you have questions, pls feel free to post them right here.
