It’s akin to visiting your hairdresser. You know what that’s like. The gossip is always interesting and you never fail to find out what the rest of the world is doing. Which is always different to what you’re doing!

I know you and I will experience the pleasures of getting to know each other and what we’ll share together, plus you’ll learn things you never thought of and will hear stories that rival the best of ‘Oprah’!

Secret Potions

26th April 2008. Starched and Fragrant Sheets

Christopher White, one of our gorgeous customers who owns a B&B at Tala Farm in the Northern Rivers Region of NSW, sent me this tip.

He's attracted his loyal clientele by word of mouth because of something he does that few B&B's do. He starches and irons his sheets and pillowcases.

And he swears the finishing touch of a few drops of the best quality fragrant essential oil, mixed with water and sprayed on the sheets just before he finishes ironing them and puts them in his linen cupboard, sends his visitors into a state of pure ecstasy.

Chris says a few drops of eucalyptus oil is the most popular oil.

In an email to current customers, I suggested they try it at least once, for a special occasion.

Melinda of Qld wrote back.

She had a special occasion. Her 20th wedding anniversary.

Her husband loved it so much, he wants her to do it every week!

So be careful.

Take care,

CAROL
