Personally I love the Terra Nova body care line! I use the lotion every night and the perfume essence is perfect for travel. We recently had some customers request more body care for dry skin. Shea Butter is one of the best known moisturizers with great healing benefits and Terra Nova uses plenty of Shea Butter in their products.

We have just added two new scent groups of Terra Nova to our website:
* Sakura & Green Tea Lotion and Bodywash
* Shea Butter Lotion, Bodywash and new “Tresses to Toes” Moisture Remedy Cream.

Terra Nova is all natural and mostly organic. Click here for Terra Nova.

Technical Concepts introduced their new Global Collection of 6 oz standard air freshener refills earlier this year. They are wonderful! I have tried just about all of them now. They are like a trip around the world for your nose! Each refill scent features a different continent.

There are 8 fragrance blends available in these odor-neutralizing aerosols:

* KILIMANJARO (Africa) - A vibrant and complex blend of citrus, florals, spice and woods.
* CHARM (Mediterranean) - A fresh and lively exotic citrus floral blend with elegant musks.
* ISLAND COCKTAIL (Caribbean) - A sweet Caribbean cocktail combining pineapple and coconut.
* RAINFOREST (South America) - A strong green herbal blend of tropical forest greens and wild berries.
* ORIENTAL NIGHTS (Asia) - A fresh white floral accord with blossoms of tropical frangipani, gardenia, neroli, white lily, orange blossom, tuberose and ylang ylang that capture the beauty and tranquility of an oriental garden.
* MARRAKESH (Middle East) - A rich, seductive oriental fragrance combining florals with a blend of woods, amber, musk and powdery notes, reflecting the pungent aromas of the street bazaars of Marrakesh.
* ICE AGE (Arctic) - A fresh ozonic blend with citrus, cool mint and herbal floral body of rose, orange blossom and woody notes of cedar, sandal and amber.
* AMERICAN DINER (North America) - A mouthwatering accord of juicy apple enhanced by a sweet warm base of vanilla and nutmeg. The great American diner lives on!

Now Technical Concepts has packaged one each of all the above scents into a great sampler pack. This is now available in stock at $52.00 for the case.

We now have these very cool scrunchy shirts on the website with more on the way. We are offering various colors in 4 styles:

* Cap Sleeve Shirt
* Tank Top
* Cardigan
* Long Sleeve Shirt

These come in 2 styles called Original or Designer. The Original has more of a pointed appearance, where the Designer is more of a round or circular puffed out look.

These shirts are super stretchy and machine washable. Just throw them in the washer, then hang to dry. Perfect for suitcase travel, they take little space, require no ironing and fit most everyone.

The price on these is very reasonable so you can mix and match or layer them. Stay tuned as we will have more of these on our website next week when our next shipment arrives.

This week I requested updated availability information from the Claire Burke Factory. Here is what they have told us:

All oils like: Reed Diffusers, Linen Sprays and electric warmer refills will be in Nov 20th.
Potpourri: Nov 5th
Vitabath Gallons in Original Green and Plus Pink: November 15th.
Oh Christmas Tree, Christmas Memories Warmer Refills - Dec 20th

This means within one week after the above dates, we should have these items in our warehouse available to ship to our customers.

As always, we appreciate your patience as we all struggle through this transition.

Here is an email I received from Rick Grimes on Friday 26 October 2007 7:29:03 PM:

I have been advised by local retailers here in FL that Claire Burke is going out of business. Can you recommend something similar to Christmas Memories oil. I saw you carry a couple of other companies such as Greenleaf. I have been using the Christmas Memories potpourri refresher oil for years and years, I will miss it…it was a Christmas must here.
**************
My response:
Hi Rick - Thank you for your inquiry. Claire Burke has recently been bought
out by new management. They have cancelled many Christmas items for this
year. Typically, all the new Claire Burke refresher oils come in a spray format which
doesn’t work for lamp rings. We will be getting some Christmas Memories bag
potpourri with refresher oil included sometime in the next few weeks. For Christmas Memories Potpourri with Oil, click here.

Because of these cancellations, we have decided to offer other alternatives
to our customers. We have Enchanted Meadow Spirit of Christmas Refresher Oil
with dropper. Click here for Enchanted Meadow Spirit of Christmas.

We will also have Greenleaf Christmas Traditions Refresher Oil in the next
few weeks. This item is not yet uploaded to our site; however, you can
easily pre-order it by calling us. Simply ask the ladies for GL941473, these
are $5.40 each and also include a dropper. Click here for Greenleaf Christmas Traditions.

I hope this helps. Please don’t hesitate to email us whenever we may be of
further assistance.
