~ Featured Business July 2009 ~
Crow's Nest Primitive Shoppe


I found this company because, once again, I got a sample from them in an Out of the
Box Sampler box. And after trying the sample of Organic Gardener's Salve, and visiting their website I
was totally in love!
Crow's Nest Primitive Shoppe is a very cozy type of website and the kind I love to visit.
I placed an order for some tarts, and then contacted Andrea about being The Rusty Rooster's Featured Business.
And boy am I loving all the goodies she sent me to review! I am so hooked on her products now :)
Here are the wonderful items I have had the pleasure to sample, test, and review.
Organic Gardener's Salve ~ This is a great product for me since I love to garden, and my hands don't love me
after I do. But, using this makes my hands feel soft, but not oily or greasy. The smell is so refreshing and it
has made my "man" hands feel like "girl" hands again :)
Antiseptic Foot Balm ~ This foot balm is just what the Dr ordered for after a long day on my feet. It's cooling
effect made my feet feel like I had been soaking them in a minty bath for hours. I put this on before bed,
cover my feet with some fuzzy socks and by morning my feet are kissable...LOL !
Organic Herbal Soap ~ Wow.. this is a huge bar of soap!! I had to cut it in half so it would fit in my soap
dish.. LOL! This soap smells amazing, and lathers very well, which is a huge factor for me. Alot of handmade
soaps don't lather...and this does! Love it! This soap smells so soothing, and relaxing and makes my hands feel
very soft. Using this soap, and the gardeners salve has helped my hands look like I have never touched my
garden.. LOL
12" Beeswax Taper Candle - Herbal ~ This is a very nicely done taper candle. I am always interested in tapers
and had to see one of these for myself. Andrea does a great job with these. I love the look of it and don't
want to burn it.. hehe. Now to find a holder for it.. Hmmm.... I will have to get one and use this for a
romantic night or something. (watchout hubby)
Spiced Pomander Ball ~ I love this! Boy.. smell is amazing, and it is so cute! Did I mention that it smells
awesome!! I set it in a cute dish on top of some other potpourri I had and it is by a window so when the wind
comes thru the window I can smell it. These are the neatest looking things!!
Mandarin-Lavender Butterfly Melt ~ OH MY.. this is the cutest tart I have ever seen! And smells so good. It is
lightly scented lavender, but the mandarine really stands out and I love that. I took it out of the package and
have it sitting in a dish with some citrus fixins I had in my bathroom and I can smell this tart when I go in
the biffy :) I don't want to melt it.. but will soon :) I think it will do great in my main bathroom and just
the perfect fragrance for that room.. not to heavy, not foody and very relaxing.
Verry Berry Melting Bundt Cake ~ Well..the first thing that jumped out at me when I opened my box from Andrea
was the smell.. of this bundt cake! OH MY Goodness!! LOL! This is so cute, huge and smells absolutely amazing.
VERY BERRY!! That is all one needs to say! If you love berry scents you MUST buy one or two or ten of these! I
couldn't stop myself, I had to cut it up (cuz it is huge) and plop a chunk in my melter. Within second my whole
house (not just my kitchen), was taken over by Very Berry, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! Amazing!! One small chunk lasted
2 full days in my tart melter! That to me makes this a TOP on my list!!
Primitive Home Soy Candle ~ This is my favorite kind of candle.. a Great Smelling One!! ;) This is a vanilla
& sweet caramel mix, with cinnamon sprinkled on top and just so yummy smelling. I love vanilla, and
caramel, and cinnamon.. so a perfect blend for me. A huge test for me when I burn new candles is to see if it
fills my large kitchen/dining room area with scent. Sometimes a lighter scented candle won't...and this one
did! I was actually shocked because I have burned many vanilla candles over the years, and never found any with
a huge of a scent throw as this one. Not sure if that is because it has caramel too so that is what I am
smelling.. but don't care.. cuz it ROCKED! No Soot, So wick issues, and Burned a very long time. I can't wait
to try her other scents.
Prim Beeswax Jar ~ This jar is so dang neat! I just had to ask to see one when I found it on her site. It is a
16 oz mason jar dipped in beeswax and sprinkled with herbs, and topped with a rusty lid. Cute, Prim, Unique,
and perfectly fits in my home :)
When I got my box of goodies I was so impressed with the way Andrea wrapped everthing in the same color tissue
paper, included a catalog and a flyer. All the products are wrapped, and labeled very nicely. This company
impresses me greatly!
