is this real life? the mother’s day tea collection sweepstakes!

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

the tea collection really knows how to treat a mother right. the tea apparel collection has teamed up with vosges haut chocolat and stroller traffic to treat one lucky mama to an unbelievable mother’s day gift, and they’ve combined us gals’ two favorite things: chocolate and clothes. get ready for this: one entire year of vosges haut chocolat and a one thousand dollar tea shopping spree! what could be better? not a mom? well call yours, make her enter, and remind her of the importance of sharing, a value she instilled in you long ago.  but i have a feeling whoever may win, she is going to have a bit of trouble sharing after she takes a bite of any one of vosges premium chocolate treats and takes a peek at the tea collection’s new summer line.

to enter fill out the short form on tea’s website here by 11:59pm on may 7th. the winner will be selected randomly within three days of the contest close date.

spring in a candle

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

spring is less than three weeks away and that fresh spring scent is in the air, conjuring daydreams of picnics in the park, luxurious vacations and fragrant flower fields.  since spring weather doesn’t seem to want to arrive, we needed something to ease these blustery winter days. luckily, linnea’s lights’ new spring scents in lavender, mimosa and white coral debuted just in time. these triple scented soy candles, inspired by exotic locales, are the perfect remedy for the winter blues.

in ancient rome lavender was revered for it’s healing properties and relaxing scent.  an exquisite luxury, it often cost romans the equivalent of a month’s wages or more.  this candle infuses lavender’s calming effect with rosemary’s sensual woody undertone and lively citrus top notes releasing the true power of this transcendent flower. tranquil and refreshing.

inspired by the white coral sands of the Maldives, this bewitching scent inspires thoughts of exotic and far away places. when lit, cardamon’s resinous aroma entwines with the bright citrus of neroli, uplifting mandarin and soft woods to create a captivating  and calming halo.  enchanting.

conjuring thoughts of provence’s bright mimosa fields, sun drenched hills and evergreens, this scent combines mimosa’s delicate scent with white jasmine’s exotic sweetness and fresh sandalwood for a perfect and balanced halo.  this scent is both delicate and powerful.

find all of these splendid scents at abc carpet and home here!
