American-Candle.com Update: November 12, 2008

Website News

American Candle wants to encourage all of our website's shoppers to make their holiday purchases early to ensure timely delivery for Christmas.  With the large size and volume of holiday orders there can be 1-3 days for an order to be processed through our shipping department before it is picked up by UPS.  Also, there are the occasional times when we sell out of an item in our retail store and it will have to be ordered in, adding to shipping time.  We appreciate our customers' understanding and patience with us during the busy holiday season.

With that out of the way, onward to our update!  We’ve been busy getting new lines up for your shopping pleasure – there have been 4 new ones added since the last update!

Cherished Teddies – Located under our Collectibles Section - Priscilla and Glenn Hillman's adorable teddies continue to delight collectors across the globe while winning the hearts of new gift-buyers as well.  For more than 15 years these sweet-faced creations have been reminding folks of happy childhood memories and commemorating special occasions and time spent with family and friends.  The soulful expressions and heart-warming sentiments of each Cherished Teddies figurine offer collectors emotional fulfillment and a sense of belonging.

Circle of Love – Located under our Wedding & Special Occasions Section  - Stunning, graceful and fluid... the timeless Circle of Love collection captures artist Kim Lawrence's interpretation of that perfect moment of peace and contentment when real love is embraced.

Adora Dolls – Located under our Collectibles Section – Adora Dolls are simply Adora-ble!  The magic of Adora's creativity shines throughout the entire Name Your Own Baby® collection with its two new ‘face-sculpts’ and surprising combinations of color, pattern and texture. From a country cowboy to a sophisticated party dress…this year’s Name Your Own Baby® line presents the collector with an astonishing assortment of choices.

Russian Blue Luster Jewelry - Located under our new Jewelry Section! - The Russian Blue Luster collection features beautiful high-quality fashion jewelry that  has even our employees doing a triple-take!  These high quality stones retain every jeweler specification: color, clarity, cut, and carat weight.  This stunning selection of rings, necklaces, earrings, and braclets are set in high quality jeweler's metals electroplated with 14K gold or platinum.  If the beauty of this line doesn't draw you in, perhaps the price will - these pieces are being featured at 50% off the manufacturer's suggested retail price!  Wow!
