Best of 2010

Its official - our Sweet Orange, Geranium and Frankincense natural fragrance blend is our customers' favourite.  Not only in our shop but with our business customers including the Goodwood Members' Club, Glorious Goodwood, Mr Underhill's Michelin starred restaurant with rooms in Ludlow and the Griffin Inn in Fletching, East Sussex.
All three essential oils are now certified organic, ensuring high quality and best practice towards the producers. Our Sweet Orange Oil is rare orange oil made from the rind of Shamouti oranges - quite difficult to source but well worth it as it has a much deeper, spicier fragrance than more available oils. This combines beautifully with our Frankincense oil gathered and processed by nomads in Somalia.

Second Place in Christmas Live Window Competition

Huarrah, my lovely mermaid delighted the judges winning us second place in Petworth's Christmas Live Window competition.  It is becoming a bit of a tradition in Petworth on the first Saturday of December that retailers have live people or animals in their windows. It's great fun and I was surprised to get a place as the competition in fierce. My cheeky friend Julie just loved stopping the traffic and waving to passers by. Thank you Julie, and thanks to Becky at Twenty (a fantastic designer boutique round the corner) who gave me the idea. Needless to say, she came first with her beautiful ballerina.
