Ye Olde Chandler "Fall Crock" Giveaway

The signs of fall...crisp, cool air; pumpkins for sale; turning leaves; pumpkin pie baking in the oven; thoughts of Thanksgiving. I'm sure you can add to this list. If you're wanting a bit of fall in your house - enter this free giveaway for one of Ye Olde Chandler's fall crocks. The crock is very nice - it is beige/brown with some green, yellow & orange. The flash makes the crock look white - it is mostly beige with brown accents. It is a glass crock decorated with leaves, pumpkins and acorns. The scent is vanilla spice and I can tell you that it smells very good (wish I could smell it burning...maybe I could just a little and the winner wouldn't notice! lol)

I purchased a fall crock from Ye Olde Chandler as part of a birthday present for my oldest daughter. She loves it! And her house smells sooooo good...pumpkin spice wafting through the air - makes me want to dash to the truck and speed home to bake a pumpkin pie! Well, actually my mom makes the best pumpkin pie...maybe I'll talk her into it.

The fall crocks are not on Ye Olde Chandler's website as they have a limited number of them left. We were very lucky that they so generously gave us one to give away. If you would rather buy one than take a chance on winning, please email them from their website Ye Olde Chandler.

Sale on Holiday Decorations

The holidays are just around the corner. Have you already been thinking about decorations? It's not too soon to start, if you like handcrafted decorations. You must allow time for them to be crafted and shipped. I know, we all have the tendency to wait until the last minute. Candles and Woodcrafts has a sale on their handcrafted/handpainted holiday paper towel holders. They have some really cute ones, including Halloween, Christmas, and Winter themed holders. These will help decorate your kitchen and lift your holiday spirits. Go on by and take advantage of the sale. When you purchase anything off of the website this month, you are automatically entered into a customer appreciation drawing. If you're a soaper - you will love this 3 lb. collapsible wooden soap mold!


For Halloween - choose between the witch and the vampire, if you can. If you can't - take one of each. You might be able to part with one to give as a gift.




































I love Christmas decorations! This is going to be a hard choice for me, but I collect Santas, sooo...maybe I'll choose the Santa. Or I could purchase more and switch out. I bet my mom and daughters would love one, too. Hmmm...maybe just maybe I'll get them one, but I know I would be tempted to keep all of them unless I buy all them of just alike! lol




































This makes me smell gingerbread cookies wafting through the air...reminds me of grandma's house during her holiday baking.

















Oh, this one is versatile. You can use it during the Chrismtas holidays on through the rest of winter. My youngest daughter collects snowmen so I bet she will love this one!


















Add this decoration to your home or office for the 4th of July. Order several for party decorations or maybe you know someone that collects eagles.















If you know someone that is getting married one of these holiday towel holders will make a unique gift for them. It will be an item that someone else will not get them and it will give them a start on their holiday decorations collection.

Remember you can find these unique handcrafted items at www.candlesandwoodcrafts.com.

Product Showcase - Coffee Soap by The Soap Corner

Teresa of The Soap Corner makes some fabulous soaps! She is sharing a bit about her coffee soaps with us today. I've never tried coffee soap before, I think I'll give it a try. Be sure to visit Teresa at www.thesoapcorner.com.
























The scent of coffee can invigorate you and reset your sense of smell!
Use it in the morning shower, and in the kitchen to remove food odors from hands like onion & garlic etc. It is a natural deodorant soap!
Coffee grounds are added for their exfoliating properties. A great way to improve the overall condition of skin by sloughing off dead skin cells, leaving skin smooth and soft with a healthy glow. Each bar of soap is poured, cut, and packaged by hand The old fashion way! So soap weights will vary.
