* Original Vapourri singles
Most of our [...]

Original Warmer Refills

I hope I won’t jinx things by letting you know that Tania, our Claire Burke Rep, now tells me they have finally received our Original Warmer Refills at the new Canadian Warehouse today. If we had not had so many broken promises about these, I would be jumping up and down!
Tania tells me they have [...]

Aromatique Fresh Fig & The Smell of Spring

I have long known of Aromatique and remember admiring it nearly 10 years ago when I started this business. Aromatique has always stood firm that they only allow brick & mortar gift shops to retail their beautiful products. For this reason, we were never eligible before to offer this fine product line.

Our 2 new scents are: Almond & Aloe and English Lavender. Caswell-Massey tells me these are their top selling ladies scents. Deb has already [...]

Original, Apple Jack Vapourri 2-packs

Those of you who are long time Claire Burke afficionados will remember that we usually have the Original and Apple Jack Vapourri 2-packs in early January every year. Last Fall I started asking Claire Burke if these would return. I was delighted to hear they would offer these again, but a bit disappointed that it [...]

Sonoma Chocolate for Valentines Day!

Chocolate candles and home fragrances have been growing in popularity over the past few years. Typically I am reserved about adding new trends that I am not sure will be long-term. However, I continue to see more and more chocolate items, so I thought we better get on board.Sonoma Lavender is a lovely company out [...]

Fresh Bet Ladies

This is just a quick post to bring you up to date on some of the recent personnel changes at Freshbet. Leia was with us for nearly 2 years and we absolutely adored her. Sadly, she has had to move on to greener pastures to insure her future financial success.
Deb who started with us around [...]

WOW, Wade & I had a hectic trip to Atlanta for 2 days to attend the huge January Gift Show to order new merchandise for Spring. Needless to say we were exhausted by the time we left. Here is a brief recap of what we have planned for Spring/Summer 2008:
* New WoodWick candles and Reed [...]

Claire Burke Availability Update

Well, it’s been a long haul with Claire Burke since last July when their parent company went belly up. This is such a wonderful old brand that many of us hate to hear about these kind of problems. Last week I attended the Gift Show in Atlanta and was pleased to meet the new management: [...]
