Of Loyalty, Gratitude, Human Rights, and The Benefits of Exfoliation

Carlin is a lady owning many firm beliefs.

Loyalty, Gratitude, Human Rights, and the benefits of exfoliation are but a few.......

~Loyalty- the state or quality of being loyal... faithful to commitments or obligations.

Carlin is loyal to and believes in LIBECO linen. The reason being that she and her family have used LIBECO linen products for over 2 decades, with great pleasure. The very first product chosen for her shop, in fact, was LIBECO. So firm her belief in LIBECO, Carlin partnered with the company.

~Gratitude - quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for kindness.

Carlin is grateful to the support of her first supplier and now friend, ~*ED*~ for his patience, care & wit.

~Human Rights- basic rights and freedoms that all people are entitled to regardless of nationality, sex, age, national or ethnic origin, race, religion, language, or other status.

Please allow me to introduce a family dear to Carlin's heart --

Ed, Barry & Nate

Ed and Barry are smart, handsome and happily married; Nate is the son they love. :)

~Exfoliation- the shedding of surface components

Benefits of full body exfoliation .............. "When a person removes the dead skin cells, he or she will aid the skin to renew itself faster. A person will also help the skin to breathe properly. After exfoliation, the circulation will improve and skin cells will be more alive and healthy. Exfoliation will make a person appear younger because it reduces wrinkles and fine lines. A person with uneven skin will be able to get an even skin tone."

LIBECO Baden towels exfoliate the skin and increase circulation. Baden towels are truly the perfect elixir for skin rejuvenation.

Have you ever experienced a towel made with linen fibers? Our Baden bath towel collection is a rare find in the market. We mix cotton & linen together to give a soft hand, yet with superior absorbency. Linen helps the towel continue to feel drier, even when damp -- Dries much faster than a standard plush towel, allowing for reuse without becoming sour. As they are used, washed & dried, they become softer and even more absorbent.
Baden comes in a bath sheet, bath towel, terry towel (ideal size for a woman's hair wrap!), guest towel, washcloth and mitt.
This is ~LIBECO Eco Linen~ collection; absolutely no chemicals were used in their production.
Purity & performance together, a winning combination. Try them and become a believer!

Carlin will never use another towel other than the Baden, EVER.

ART

Because Carlin loves Mexico City; it was great to see the article about it in this month's

ELLE DECOR.

Beautiful buildings and scenery, yes, but it was a piece of art from the article that was most captivating.

A little bit of sleuthing led to the website of Demetrios Psillos -- prepare to be blown away!

Perfect!

Knowledge is Power

Here is some more information about Carlin's beloved soapstone:

The soapstone products sold at C.A. Camp and Sannino are from Alberene, Virginia which is where Carlin's family farm is located. Her Virginia roots are deep, hundreds of years. Alberene is where her father's family set down these roots, way back when. Her loyalty to and

belief in Alberene soapstone in unwavering.

The Story Of Alberene Stone

There was located and opened in Albemarle County, Virginia, in the late 1870's and early 1880's, a deposit of stone of peculiar and remarkable qualities. It was weather-proof, heat-proof, time-proof and easily worked – as was proved by Indian bowls and other utensils carved from this material with crude tools of the early aborigines and to be seen today in public museums and private collections. While soft enough to be easily shaped and fabricated, it yet was so dense and close-grained as to have a crushing strength equal to that of granite. It was non-absorbent and non-staining; and, in chemical characteristics, it was acid-proof and alkali-proof.

A Company is Formed
The pioneer in opening and developing this deposit was Mr. John G. Porter Who early saw the commercial possibilities of a material possessing all these unique qualities. Thoroughly convinced of the large potential markets in the industrial, architectural and scientific worlds, he associated himself with a number men in an organization which later became known as the Alberene Stone Company, with Mr. D. J. Carroll as president; and this material has since been quarried and marketed continuously, for more than 80 years, by this organization under the name “Alberene Stone.”
