I just love Fall! By late September our weather starts cooling here in the Carolinas and I celebrate a birthday and anniversary. It’s one of my favorite times of the year. We are excited about many of the new items scheduled to arrive.
There will be wonderful new Aromatique home fragrances in Cinnamon Cider, Orange & Evergreen and Pumpkin Spice. Naturally we will be offering Decorative Fragrance, Diffuser Oil, Candles, Room Spray, Refresher Oil, Glass Votives and Gift Sets.

Last but not least, are the brand new Claire Burke mini-Reed Diffusers. The factory is already just about sold out on these. Don’t delay, these will make awesome hostess gifts or stocking stuffers.

I think it’s been two or three years now since we’ve been able to offer Claire Burke Oh Christmas Tree Simmering Oil. Last year we didn’t have any because of the management changes at Claire Burke. This year we thought we would have these and I had plenty on order.
Sadly, I have just been informed by the Factory, that they will not be making Oh Christmas Tree Simmer Oil this year either. I will continue to inquire about more simmering oils with the new management.
We will have Christmas Memories Simmer Oil. Our new shipment of Pomegranate Plum has arrived and I am pleased to report there is simmer oil in this fragrance. There will not be any in The Haunted Home.

Ellen has been a customer of ours for several years now. Oddly enough she lives in Burke, VA. Since Claire Burke lived in Virginia, I thought it was a nice coincidence.
Anyway, Ellen is quite a reader and loved the Claire Burke scented bookmarks so much, she emailed to ask if she could buy a few. I emailed her back and said, no, we’ll gladly send you some for free. Deb sent her an assortment and Ellen was kind enough to mail us a Thank You letter.
We love giving personal service to our customers. Many of our patrons are repeats whom we feel are kindred spirits in following the Claire Burke brand.
Love the stationery Ellen! Sure helps to get me in the mood for the upcoming Holiday Season.

Talk about a perfect stocking stuffer for the upcoming Holiday season! Claire Burke has released four new mini-reed diffusers that will be arriving in our warehouse the beginning of September. These are wicked cute and beautifully gift boxed.
Claire Burke is offering 4 scents: Apple Jack & Peel, Christmas Memories, Pomegranate Plum and Oh Christmas Tree. Each mini-diffuser will hold 1.7 oz of oil, which is enough to fragrance for 30 days and is beautifully gift boxed.
At $10.00 each they make a very simple and inexpensive gift for co-workers, teachers, etc.

After all the problems last year, it is such a pleasure to announce that Claire Burke’s new management is really doing a swell job this year. We are pleased to say that all of the new Pomegranate Plum products are due into our stock the week of August 25th.



We are offering the new reed diffuser, shimmer candle, plug-in warmer refills, potpourri w/refresher oil, simmering oil and vapourri.
Sadly, they were not able to bring forward the entire line of Haunted Home that was previously planned last year. We will have the Witches Brew filled ceramic candle, plug-in warmer refill and Spooky Tealight Trio.

I have been asking the Factory to bring these back for about 6 years now. Lo and behold, the new management must have listened! Today I received an email advising they are going to place one order with the Factory to produce scented drawer liners in the Original scent. In other words, these will not be available year-round; this is a limited offer.
Hallelujah! How awesome is this? Because I love everything Original, naturally we are going to offer these to our customers. Hopefully there will be enough interest for the Factory to pursue these lovely traditional reminders of days past. Be sure to participate in our Poll at top right of this page.
There will be 6 scented sheets per box and the box will sell for $18.00. If you would like to pre-order these, just give us a call at 1-800-322-0525. Please know your card will not be charged until your order is ready to ship.
Please note that if the Factory does not recognize sufficient interest, they probably will not order them and your order information would be destroyed. Email us with any questions.

Say goodbye to the hot days of summer and welcome Autumn! What’s not to love about cooler temperatures and crisp evenings?
Usher fall into your home with Greenleaf’s Apple Spice & Cinnamon or American Harvest. These traditional autumn scents are the perfect way to bring in a new season with their invigorating spicy fragrance blends.
Both of these are returning scents by Greenleaf. We now have new Home Fragrance Oils by Greenleaf that are replacing all Refresher Oils w/dropper. These new bottles have a built-in dropper top insert that helps keep everything neat and clean.

We also have new Reed Diffuser Oil refills and Candle Cube Votives.


The only new scent that Greenleaf has released for Fall is Pomegranate. We are offering this scent in the Room Spray, Sachet, Aroma Decor Diffuser (Effusion) Oil, Reed Diffuser Oil and Soy Candle. Click here for Pomegranate

Aromatique’s Peach Pizazz is simply wonderful! Sadly, we have come to the end of the Peach season, so it’s time for us to move this fragrance out as we make room for all the fabulous new Fall items by Aromatique.

Yesterday I asked Dawn to go in and mark down all the Aromatique Peach Pizazz by 10%. Supplies are limited, so don’t delay. It will be next year before we know if this scent will return.

One of our local customers came in the other day while I was at the store. She loves the Baekgaard Colorful Leather collection. Based upon her input, I have added a few new items by Baekgaard and Dawn has now uploaded them to our site.
We now offer Envelope Cases in violet and apple green. These are perfect for holding loose notes, pictures, etc all in a handy 4″ x 6″ magnetic snap case.

There is a classic new purse in black/white and red plaid and 2 new Zip Tote bags.

Deb has been with us for almost one year now. One of her favorite things to do is change out our wonderful old display windows. Because we are in an old building, we have fabulous old windows that really are quite stunning when Deb gets them done up each month.
For July we wanted a bright, cheerful Summer theme. Deb found some wonderful fabric and tall botanicals that look simply gorgeous. She & Dawn continue to amaze me with how lovely the inside of the store looks as well. They work together beautifully and it seems that more local customers are discovering the store.
Here is our other window:
