Working out the Bugs

Last month we purchased a new printer with the hopes of expediting printing of our newsletters. Unfortunately, the printer installation caused a computer glitch that would not let us open the newsletter file until we upgraded to a new computer. What with the Christmas rush and doing year-end inventory, it has taken us a few weeks to get the new computer installed and the newsletter ready to go again. We apologize for our delay, and hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Holiday Season!

Speaking of which, we would like to take a moment to thank you, our loyal friends and customers, who helped to make this our best Christmas season ever. Thank you so much for your patronage and kind words of support. You are the greatest!

Charoite - The Spirit Stone

Many of our customers have asked about a beautiful purple-swirled stone we carry in pendants and spheres. This eye-catching mineral comes exclusively from the Muran Mountains in Yakutia, Russia. It was discovered in the late 1950s by Vera Rogova and Yuri Rogov. The material is actually a silicate of potassium, calcium, and sodium.

While charoite may have been named after the Chara river in Yakutia, most probably it was named after the Russian word "chary" which means "charms" or "magic." It is said that Charoite enhances self-esteem, accelerates spiritual growth, changes loneliness to love, and shows the way through fear to perfect peace.

Congratulations Winner

You may recall that last month we held a contest to celebrate the installation of our new point-of-sale computer system. We asked our readers to guess what they thought was our best selling item during December. The person with the closest guess would win a $50 gift certificate.

Upon reviewing our December best seller list, the numbers indicate that our top sellers were rocks (270 items), 'Lurchin Urchin yo-yos (147), and gravity tubes (95). The rock number is a little misleading, however, as the computer only counted 63 small felt bags (filled with 10 rocks per bag), plus 25 large felt bags (with 30 rocks per bag). Thus if you counted the individual rocks within those bags, and added them to other rock sales, the total number of rocks sold would have been over 1,500!

Several contestants came up with some very good guesses. However, the person who came the closest to having the right answer was Virginia R. of Raytown, who guessed we would sell 365 rocks during December. Way to go, Virginia!

Give A Gift From Glass Baron

For 30 years, the Glass Baron company has helped people celebrate life’s many special occasions. Their handcrafted, glass keepsakes are unique works of art to be cherished from generation to generation. Glass Baron’s artists produce the finest glass sculptures combining the lasting beauty of glass, 22K gold, porcelain or clay flowers, and crystals.

With flames over 2700º Farenheit, each keepsake is sculpted by a master glassblower who transforms glass rods into liquid glass. Liquid gold is delicately brushed by hand and then kiln-fired at 1,150º Farenheit for a perfect luster. Frosting is achieved by sandblasting the surface, removing thousands of microscopic chips of glass. Natural color enhancements are added through airbrushing. Genuine Swarovski® Crystals or flowers are individually applied to add sparkle, color, and personality.

Glass Baron keepsakes are the perfect gift solution for Valentine’s or any special occasion.

Shimmering Foil Pictures

We are pleased to announce the return of etched foil pictures. These shimmering pictures were very popular, but our supplier stopped carrying the line, so we had to go without them for a while.

Fortunately, we found a new company with great prices and a beautiful selection of pictures. These 8' x 10' foil prints are a great value at only $9.95 each. It’s easy to add a little sparkle to your home with these attractive pictures.

Adopt an Endangered Animal

Several of you have expressed an interest in adopting an endangered animal. Based on your requests, we contacted Healthy Planet, and have begun carrying wildlife adoption kits. This is a great opportunity to protect and learn about an endangered animal. Each packet contains educational materials, an official sponsor certificate, poster, and sticker. In addition, the packet includes registration materials for adopting your endangered animal.

Once registered, you receive quarterly newsletters with updates on your adopted animal, as well as information on international protection and research efforts. A portion of the profits from the sale of each adoption kit goes to support the Healthy Planet Institute (HPI). HPI is committed to environmental issues and the protection of endangered animals throughout the world. To date, Healthy Planet’s products have generated over $3,500,000, for domestic and global non-profit research and conservation organizations.

These fun and educational kits are great for those who love our planet and want to make a difference in the life of an endangered animal. Adopt a wild mustang, tiger, sea turtle, orangutan, wolf, dolphin, or whale today
