I first remember seeing Tyler Candle in a small area of a showroom we usually visit at the Market. Back then I knew they were something special and thought they may grow into a nationally recognized brand. And of course, now Tyler is one of the best-selling, top brand of candles in the USA.

We are proud to announce we have added Tyler Candles to our store in their top-selling Fall & Winter scents, as well as year-round classic scents like High Maintenance, Kathina, Limelight, Diva and Tyler.

Freshbet.com is now offering Tyler Chambre Parfum (Room Spray), Reed Diffuser Oil Refills, Fragrance Fuel (Lampe oil) and of course their fabulous candles in both 11 oz and 22 oz sizes.

Of special note is their Original scent which is very similar to Claire Burke Original. Be sure to try this one today! Click here to shop for Tyler Candles and Home Fragrances.

Along with our shipment of new Tree Skirts & Stockings for the upcoming Holidays, we brought in more new Bella Taylor handbags.

If you are going green at the grocery store, consider our new Shoppers in Tangerine, Sun Kiss, Walcott or Raspberry print styles:

The new Spice totes are already popular with our local customers:

And don’t forget to get one of these charming backpacks for your student:

Ahhh…you just gotta love Fall! Personally it is one of my favorite seasons when the weather finally cools off here in the Carolinas. Being of Yankee up-bringing, I love the crisp breezes when the heat and humidity finally subside here in the South.

Anyhow, our new Aromatique Cinnamon Cider & Pumpkin Spice have just arrived! Aromatique does a beautiful job with their home fragrance collections and I’m proud to say these products are MADE IN THE USA!

We now have Cinnamon Cider Decorative Fragrance in copper tray, Room Spray, Reed Diffuser Oil and Small Glass Hurricane Candle.

In Pumpkin Spice we have: Refresher Oil, Reed Diffuser Oil, Decorative Potpourri in Ceramic Container and the ever-popular small glass hurricane candle:

I just want to take a minute to say that not all Reed Diffusers are equal. I recently saw a TV ad for a grocery store product by Glade promoting their new reed diffusers. Of course you can also buy cheaper plug-in refills and Febreze candles, etc.

Our parents always told us “You get what you pay for” and who among us hasn’t found this to be true? So before you dash out and think you’ll be saving lots of money with grocery store brands, BEWARE! Many of these have chemical-based fragrances and no natural oils; thus creating a toxic cocktail that you bring into your home.

When you buy high quality products, you get high quality ingredients with natural essential oils made by companies who only produce top quality home fragrances. This would be true with our brands like: Claire Burke, WoodWick, Greenleaf & Enchanted Meadow.

If you suffer from any type of allergies or asthma, save yourself the aggravation and go with top quality for you and your family. Also, these grocery store products may be powerful in the beginning, but they just don’t last. After all, if you have to replace it more frequently, did it really save you any money?

As Dawn would say…..”I’m just saying”

Just this year we started offering beautiful quilted fabric purses made by Victorian Heart under the name brand Bella Taylor. These are wonderful purses that will wear like iron in prints similar to Vera Bradley. Of course, these handbags are alot less money than Vera Bradley.

The Victorian Heart folks also offer other goodies like Throws, Bedding, etc so I just had to try out some of their new Christmas decorations. When our first shipment arrived, we were so impressed that we decided to order more. Personally I love having a tree skirt under the Christmas Tree and I’ve had the same one for years.

We are starting out with 3 of their most popular designs: Bronze Peace, Toy Soldier and Wise Men. Dawn now has these up on the website and we have both the tree skirt and fireplace mantel stocking in these 3 designs. We have set up a new Holiday Decor page where you can view all of these value-priced holiday decor essentials.
