Abyss -the perfect towel

Abyss Super Pile has always been the most absorbent, the fluffiest, and the most color-fast towel on the market, but now the European version has brought the line full circle. Elegance and style bring the towel line a "star-struck presence". Finally, the Super Line brings the texture contrast that give the towels a personality on the towel bar. The band begs for Monograms. Abyss Super Pile has always been my favorite, but Super Line has stepped up to total perfection-style, looks, and quality all rolled into one. They even offer the "European mitt".

Lampe Berger


For over a hundred years, people have fallen in love with the
peerless beauty and inspired scents of the one-and-only
Lampe Berger Paris.
Each elegantly designed lamp gently burns an enchanting
perfume of choice, permeating the air with luxurious custom
fragrances whose ability to create atmosphere and evoke
memories adds a unique dimension to creating a sense of
home.

The Lampe Berger story begins at the close of the nineteenth
century. Sometimes considered as a disinfecting home appliance,
sometimes as a decorative item, the Lampe Berger comes across
the century, resisting both fashion and an increasing competition,
while earning the patronage of such distinguished artists as Coco
Chanel and Jean Cocteau.
Even then, the Lampe Berger was becoming an interior lifestyle
revolution in Parisian and International homes of taste.

TIMELESS...

Enter the home of Monsieur Maurice Berger and you would find
yourself in awe of the magnificent scent penetrating throughout the
room. What was this Parisian pharmacist’s secret? An elegant,
fragrance-filled crystal bottle­—the original Lampe Berger.

It wasn’t long before the world took notice. The product evolved into
a must-have home decorative accessory that was both beautiful
and practical. Its unique scents grew to reflect the desired tastes of
the times, many of which are popular to this day. The lamp itself
blossomed into a form of art featuring the design work of some of
the greatest names in French history.

CLASSIC WITH A MODERN TWIST
Lampe Berger remains highly applicable to today’s lifestyles. It’s the
ideal home decorative accessory which magically transforms the
home with enchanting scents and charming table accents.

Bring it into your life.
$5.00 off any Lampe Berger item, except the wicks.
code 5off

WHAT IS IT FOR?

Simply, the Lampe Berger cleanses the air, removes odors
and fragrances the room.
Developed by Monsieur Maurice Berger, a pharmaceutical
chemist, each lamp features, under its’ stylish cap, a
patented catalytic burner that destroys odors and helps
purify the air, before the fragrance is dispersed.

The Lampe Berger is successful at destroying a whole
range of odors, including:

:: Cigarette smoke
:: Cooking odors
:: Pet odors
:: Paint fumes
:: Many other forms of household pollution.

IS IT EASY TO USE?

The Lampe Berger comes with simple instructions and is
safe to use. Just add fragrance, then insert the wick/burner,
and allow the wick to soak for 20 minutes. Light the burner
for two minutes and extinguish.

As shown in the diagram above, after the purifying process
occurs (destruction area), the fragrance then disperses into
the air. 45 minutes are all that is necessary to fragrance a
room of up to 300 square feet. To stop fragrancing, simply
cap.

The wedding season


The season is upon us, and for all who strive to "think-of-everything" this is really a cool, cool idea. We all work in color themes, and want everything to coordinate. Well, here's a great idea. I have glasses in champagne, white wine, or martini dressed in ribbon. The neat thing is that you can choose your own ribbon color. We have quantity discounts available. Don't pass this idea up. Even better still, you can use the glasses over and over for other affairs with a mere ribbon change.

Spring into Cookies

Yes, you can buy them. Yes, they are a pain to make, especially on the third roll, but best of all--THEY are appreciated!!!! Gifts from the heart are the best! The beauty of these cutters is you get to decide--chicken before the egg, or egg first. Then there's the basket-decorate and fill it with flowers, or a group of gangly animals. The coolest is the no-fail sugar cookie recipe, that's good to the last crumb. Thank-you's will abound, and you truly will have that warm, fuzzy feeling that you made someting "Good". Paint them, frost them, or dust them in colored sugar-just make cookies

Bring back an old favorite

Had the opportunity to make an old family recipe just the other day. I had forgotten how good this basic congealed salad tasted, but more than anything it was a stunner on the buffet table. I used a silicone star mold, but that was only the beginning. I took a little mini vase and stuck it down into the inverted tube hole, filled it with fresh lilacs and a few sprigs of long violet leaves for contrast, sprinkled violet heads randomly on the salad. Wow! It was easy, tasty, and very much a do-ahead dish. The Silicone Star is the "star" for this Winner.

Emerging Edibles

Love it, curse it, or sort of embrace it. Give this little guy "kudos" for something!

Believe it or not, you can eat it, it can bring great luck, and it's actually a natural pesticide. Now don't scoff at me, as I love a beautiful lawn as much as you do. As pesky as their reputation, Dandelions can be beneficial to a garden ecosystem, as well as to human health. Dandelions attract beneficial ladybugs(those good luck bugs) and provide early spring pollen for their food. More ladybugs means fewer aphids, a favorite food of the ladybugs. Even the Dandelions long roots aerate the soil and enable the plant to accumulate minerals, which are added to the soil when the plant dies.
Not only are dandelions good for your soil, they are good for your health. A serving of uncooked dandelion leaves contains 280 percent of an adult's daily requirement of beta carotene as well as more than half the requirement of vitamin C. Dandelions are also rich in vitamin A.
Dandelions are also used as herbal remedies. The white sap from the stem and root is used as a topical remedy for warts. The whole plant is used as a diuretic and liver stimulant. Believe it or not, I fed my horse dandelion roots to help her laminitis.

So before you toss them, throw the leaves in a salad, or lightly braise them. They are here for a purpose. Embrace them, don't totally curse them.

The Beauty of Bamboo


Bamboo is the plant that keeps giving and giving. It seems to have an insatiable desire to live, regardless of its challenges, and unlike many of our resources, it thrives on being utilized.
Through a high tech production process bamboo produces a natural and ecofriendly fiber without any chemical additives.

By it's very nature it is disease resistant, needing no pesticide treatment. This very characteristic yields an anti-bacterial, bacteriostatic property that translates into antibacterial, odor free fabrics perfect for allergy free linens. Bamboo also has an unusual ability to breathe and ventilate, as it is filled with a cross-section of various micro-gaps and micro-holes, allowing excellent moisture absorption and ventilation. The end result is a fiber that is extremely cool and comfortable even during the extreme heat of summer.

Fabrics are typically made of pure bamboo yielding a superior strength, durable, fast drying Green Fabric. You will find the hand of these fibers comparable to 700gr sheets, and will love the vivid, clear colors.

Support the environment, support your health, and support your inner being with peace and relaxation. http://desideesreno.com/bashbyhosoin.html

The Go-to answer



The go-to flower arranger is now unbelievably half of the price I used to sell it for in the store. Not only is it beautiful, but it is my life saver. I always say "if you have to apologize for something, you haven't done your best". Well, with this little gem you are totally covered.

I've been selling kitchen gadgets for almost 30 years, but this one has me stumped. I think that it could be a chocolate shaver, or maybe for truffles. Any ideas???

Finally found a Great Source


I actually lost my source for these little treasures. With all of the bread dipping still going on-these are a must, but have been very difficult to find. This one is sturdy and will relly do the trick, plus it's very pretty. The Grape Cruet oil & vinegar decanter is reminiscent of the vineyard harvest. Unique gift idea. Each Grape Cluster Cruet is beautifully hand blown by artisans in Europe. The grape cruet is elegant, yet not delicate, durable and practical. 11oz

Get into the grind

If you are one of those people that has frrustrated over the total failure of every pepper grinder you have ever purchased then listen up. I was one of YOU and I sold pepper grinders.

We were vacationing on Nantucket Island over twenty years ago, and roamed into a kitchen store. It was there that my husband remarked that "they" had a pepper grinder that really worked. I promptly came home, contacted the company, and began selling them in my store. It was "love at first grind. " The love affair has never ended. Today it is still the favorite of our household, as well as a pleaser for my customers. To my delight "Cook's Magazine" rated this the "number ONE" peppergrinder on the market . Please seek this one out Unicorn Magnum Plus Pepper Mill . It's easy to fill, works like a dream, and you need to join the club of Happy Grinders.http://desideesreno.com/index.html

Sharp knives always seem to disappear
















desideesreno.com








Just about everyone fights with sharpening their knives. I can't think of a single person who doesn't want a sharp knife, as dull knives are dangerous. The kicker is that there is seldom easy success in the kitchen. Ta Dahhh!!!! I have found a little magician that will make you look Oh so good, and you won't rip and shred yourself in the process.



*Whether you're slicing meat, chopping vegetables, or crafting wood, you'll want your blades to be at their sharpest.
*Regular use of even the highest quality blades will dull their edge, resulting in a loss of accuracy or the need for more effort when cutting.
*The AnySharp Global Knife Sharpener uses new, patented knife sharpner technology, making it superior to any knife sharpening steel or stone.
*Unlike other knife sharpeners, AnySharp is totally safe to use, because your hands are always away from the blade. Most impressive is the ability to sharpen serrated knives (like bread knives or hunting knives). It takes no more time than a standard blade, and the results are exceptional. (Not suitable for extremely fine-toothed serrated knives).
*The PowerGrip suction cup means you can attach the AnySharp Knife Sharpener to almost any surface, horizontal or vertical, without the need for tools. And since it is so small and light, it can be easily tidied away in a drawer, cupboard, or tool box when not needed.
*With a blunt knife, AnySharp will hone it to a perfect angle, and remove excess metal rapidly. *Once sharp, better results are gained by using only light pressure, and only microscopic amounts of metal are shed.
*AnySharp is a an eco-friendly product that makes your knives perfectly usable again.
*AnySharp Global is the best knife sharpener you will ever use. Guaranteed.
*Manufacturer Warranty: 10-year No Quibble Warranty. Capacity: 10,000 operations




You will be shocked with just how many things you can sharpened-scissors, lawn mower blades, you bring it on-it will be sharp.




TESTIMONIALS


By
Imran Hussein I have tried many different sharpeners for my Global Knvies but this one is definately the best I have tried. Easy to use and small and light so it is easy to store aswell. Highly recommended




Sharp Deal, 23 April 2009
By
(Redditch) - Having tried many devices including a whetting stone I did not hold out a lot of hope for this one. You do need a very smooth surface to stick in on but it does exactly what it says. The blades are now razor sharp. The only one it has had a problem with so far is a de-boning knife which is very recessed at the blade hilt - it's not possible to sharpen the first inch of it. All the standard cooks knives are like new again - the Sabatiers can split hairs.







By
Maggie I bought one of these sharpeners at the Good Food Show. It is without doubt the best and easiest sharpener I have used, so much so that my friends wanted to have equally sharp knives and scissors. AnySharp Global The World's Best Knife Sharpener

abyss & habidecor

For over twenty years I have been selling Abyss & Habidecor Towels and Rugs, and given our current economy I can't help but want to share just what an amazing product line this really is. In a time when everything in the world is being knocked off, and made in China, this line stands head and shoulders above its competition. I know that it is labelled expensive and totally luxury, but I can personlly attest to its durability, and longevity. Not only can you pick and choose from more colors than you might ever imagine, but you will have colors that will stay colorfast with minimal care parameters. Hence, you have products that stay beautiful, and last and last. They personlly gurantee their products for three years. It's a total pleasure to see rugs that are still fresh and colorful year after year.


The long and short of it is that you get we what you pay for in this day and time. Try this line. Patience is a virtue, mix and match, and you nwill be amazed at the looks you can create. Trust me you will not be disappointed.
