On Ground Hog day, February 2nd, we wait and see if the famous Pennsylvania Groundhog (whose name I can neither spell nor pronounce) sees his shadow.
If he doesn't see his shadow, he will come out of his den, and winter will be over. If he sees his shadow, he'll retreat to his den, and we will have another six weeks of wintery weather.
In honor of Punxsutawney Phil, we are doing a special sale on Groundhog Day. On Monday, February 2nd, at checkout enter the promotional code "shadow" (without the quotation marks), press "apply" and receive 10% off almost all our normal retail prices. Kits, special books, bulk products are not included. Please make sure you see the discount reflected on your screen, we can not go back and apply it retroactively.
Happy shopping, whether Phil sees his shadow or not.

Lost and Found - Sandalwood Tamil 2002
I was looking for something in my home "workroom." Didn't find what I was looking for, but came across something worth far more. Several ounces of our Sandalwood Tamil 2002, distilled from heartwood only. It has been out of stock for years.
When we first procured it, in 2002, this is what I wrote on the website:
"Sandalwood-Tamil-2002 - Even the best Sandalwoods need at least two years after distillation to mellow and ripen. We have procured what we call our "investment sandalwood"... fresh from the still of a master distiller, distilled from the heartwood of a tree over five decades old, with a distillation time measured in weeks, not days, this Sandalwood oil is pleasant today. It is extraordinarily sweet, and has good staying power in blends. Given time to mature a bit it will develop the complexity that a good Sandalwood should have. In five years it will be splendid. In twenty or forty years, it will be beyond belief...something to leave in your will to your grandchildren. Anne has already tucked some away for her six year old's 21st birthday and for his wedding. Now, we can age it for you, and increase the price as it ages. Or you can invest in some at this bargain price and put it way for safekeeping. "
Well, I have inadvertantly aged it for you. It is no longer bargain priced.
I very carefully wiped a THICK layer of dust off the bottle, unsealed it, and said "ahhhhhhh"
It will be featured on our February "New and Specials" page, when I have time to get that written. Needless to say, quantities will be VERY limited!
