Ann’s books are gifts.  Especially the food books.  Because you don’t have to make these cakes to enjoy them.  Get someone you know “Extraordinary Cakes” for Christmas ($40).  Here’s a sneak peek:

Lampe Berger, that is.  It’s NOT oil.  Everyone calls it oil (or “olh” as we Texans drawl) but it’s not.   So what should we call it?  How about “Lampe Berger Fragrance.”  Because that’s what it is. Really.

To be precise, Lampe Berger fragrance is an alcohol-based fuel, the stuff you burn in your lampe to take odors out and leave fragrance lingering.  That’s why at Ann’s, we have you sample the fragrances by sniffing the testers, small vials that have just the fragrance in them.  If you open the Lampe Berger bottle, all you’ll smell is the alcohol.

So call it fragrance.  Or if you insist, you can call it oil, we’ll know what you mean.  

Do you have enough Lampe Berger oil fragrance stocked up for your holidays?

This is a classic Lampe Berger style fragrance lampe, but it’s not longer produced by the company.  You’re in luck, however, because Ann’s still has a good supply!  ( We also have plenty of Carolines in red, clear, and white.)  You can pay more at Amazon.com (theirs is $89.95), or you can come to Ann’s and buy yours for $49.50.  That’s our normal price, too.  AND Ann’s Caroline style lampes are Christmas wrapped and ready to give. 

Santa has already been to Houston and he left the best gifts at Ann’s!
