KENNETH TURNER IS BACK !!

Good news for all you Kenneth Turner fans.......the collection is back in stock !! The company had terrible problems with their export affiliates for several years, but now everything is hunky-dory and they now stock their line in the United States.



We have stocked up ourselves on the original fragrance which is now called Signature. This Signature fragrance is a blend of Orange Blossom, Honeysuckle, Citrus, Woods and Spices and for those of you who love it, there is nothing like it.




They make 3 sizes of candles now and each comes in a glass vase that can be used for flowers when your candle is all used up. The largest Bouquet Vase has a 180 hour burn time, the medium Stem Vase will burn for 95 hours and the smallest Posy Vase for 50 hours.




We also are stocking the Room Spray, Reed Diffusers (which are very delicate and ethereal looking), hinged-neck silver candle snuffers and stainless steel wick trimmers. These make terrific presents with or without a favourite candle. We all have a friend or relative that lights candles daily and does not own a Snuffer. They will thank you ad nauseam for giving them one of these and will prattle on about how they are sorry they went so long without.




Long neck matches are on their way from London, but in the meantime we have the most marvelous lighters, which by the way, your candle-loving friends will love as well.  They are long enough to light a candle without burning your digits, but are elegant enough to leave out on the table (unlike those tacky, bulky lighters used to light the bar-b-que ).

Please call the Boutique 561.655.7367 if you would like us to mail you your Kenneth Turner fix.......it IS legal, I promise.

XOXOXOXOX

SPECIAL SWEATERS

A FEW YEARS AGO WHILE TROLLING THE INTERNET, I CAME ACROSS THESE ADORABLE CHILDREN'S SWEATERS. THEY ARE HAND-KNIT IN LONDON BY A GROUP OF WOMEN WHO ARE ADDICTED TO KNITTING. THEY HAVE KNIT SO MANY SWEATERS, SCARVES, MITTENS ETC. FOR EVERY PERSON THEY KNOW THAT THEY NOW KNIT FOR THIS CHARMING YARN SHOP OWNED BY PATRICIA ROBERTS AND LOCATED JUST OFF KNIGHTSBRIDGE.


THEY SELL NATURAL FIBER YARNS (ANGORA, CASHMERE. COTTON AND LAMBSWOOL) IN A PLETHORA OF COLORS, KNITTING NEEDLES, PATTERN BOOKS AND PROJECT KITS FOR THISE OF YOU THAT ARE BRAVE ENOUGH AND HAVE THE TIME AND PATIENCE TO MAKE YOUR OWN.



HOWEVER, WE ARE TOO IMPATIENT FOR THAT, SO WE OPTED FOR THE CUSTOM-MADE ONES BY THESE VERY TALENTED KNITTING ADDICTS ! ALTHOUGH THEY KNIT WONDERFUL SWEATERS FOR WOMEN AS WELL, IT IS THE CHILDREN'S LINE THAT CAUGHT MY FANCY.




I AM ESPECIALLY ENAMOURED BY THE CHESIL-STYLE SWEATERS WHICH SPORT A COMBINATION OF STITCHES AND A CUTE-AS-A-BUTTON PATCH WITH AN ANGORA BUNNY, OR DOG, OR SAILBOAT ETC.






THE SWEATERS CAN BE CUSTOM ORDERED IN MANY COLORS AND SIZES AND WE SHOULD HAVE THE NEWEST COLLECTION ARRIVING NEXT MONTH.




SOME ARE CARDIGANS...





SOME ARE PULLOVERS....





SOME ARE PERFECT FOR GIRLS.....




AND SOME FOR BOYS.....




OTHERS FOR BOYS OR GIRLS......





IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THESE ARRIVE AT THE SHOP, JUST CALL (561.655.7367) OR EMAIL (BETTY@LAFINPB.COM) BETTY AND SHE WILL BE HAPPY TO LET YOU KNOW. I THINK I WILL EMAIL BETTY MYSELF AND HAVE HER ORDER ME AN ADULT SIZE CHESIL SWEATER (SANS ANIMAL MOTIF) AS MAINE IS A BIT NIPPY AT NIGHT.
