Can we really hope for only 6 more weeks of winter?
We Minnesotans are not so foolish,
But I will sure enjoy the projected 24 degrees…

Here at SaraCura we will be keeping warm!

Dancer Discount Day

Saturday, February 2nd

Experiment on yourself or a friend.
Tease yourself into believing that summer is just around the corner…

What did we do to the store? It’s totally different!

We Rearranged!
Last weekend Alice and I totally rearranged the store.
Don’t be surprised when you walk in at it looks different.
Now the jewelry is much more visible, the artist items are consolidated and better highlighted,
and there is so much more room to move around.
Come visit us and see how you like it.


Henna Workshops are back
Now that the holidays are over, we can get back to some henna fun.
We have 4 dates to choose from:

Saturday, February 2nd – from 2 to 4pm
Tuesday, February 19th – from 6 to 8pm
Wednesday, February 27th – from 6 to 8pm
Thursday, March 6th – from 6 to 8pm

Please sign up early if you want to participate.
Space is limited so everyone can get personal attention.

Come learn more about henna and get a chance to use it first hand. Sarah will talk a little bit about henna and how to apply it, but most of the time, you will be playing with henna yourself. Henna in applicator bottles will be available for everyone to use, with Sarah’s guidance, as well as a finishing seal to protect your new henna art. Workshops are limited to 5 people.
Price is $18/ $15 with student ID.Bonus – everything in the store will be 10% off for workshop participants the evening of the event!

Check out what Alli had to say about her Henna experience:
"I found Henna Painting to be relaxing and spa-like in how it gave me quiet time to think and relax.It ' s something I ' ve put off doing as too self-indulgent but it was really good for me and helped me revitalize and refresh my self-esteem."

Stop by Saturday, February 23rd from noon to 5pm

Fresh flavors at SaraCura!

It's pretty bitter outside our door right now, but not within! I spent a couple days last week helping bottle up some of SaraCura's new scents like Juniper Berry and Grapefruit, and restocking favorites such as Red Egyptian Musk, Vanilla and Jasmine. Spilling a little here and there opened my sense of smell right up again, let me tell you! It was a sensual treat in the winter, when that dry air takes so much sensation down, and not even any calories. Good for the skin, too. Those 10 mL bottles of ours are great for application to your skin, and if you like you can pop out the roller and put a few drops in a hot bath or on a burner.

Grapefruit, by the way, grows as an evergreen tree like most other citrus fruit. It was originally known as the Forbidden Fruit of Barbados, and was first documented by the European world in 1750. The bright, acidic sweet aroma of this oil can shine up your whole day, and make you feel fresher, younger, more awake! It also has antiseptic and aromatic properties.

Happy New Year!

December was awesome for our little haven of cards and shiny stuff. Thanks, everybody! Currently it's one of those cold, sunny days of winter, and from my perch I can watch pedestrians struggle against the sparkling flurries.

One of my customers this afternoon asked me what I could tell her about the Egyptian cat-goddess Bast. Maybe you already knew that she is known as The Devourer, and is also considered to be a devoted mother... make of that what you will... but did you know she is also goddess of perfume? More information

I opened a last.fm account for the shop which you can hear too, if you like. Click here to listen.

We just received a new collection of Thai and Burmese jewelry, hats and belts, and are thinking about what folks want for Valentine's Day. Any ideas? Now's a good time.


This Saturday is a Dancer Day special, since it's the first one of the month. Come visit for a chance at 15% off tribal jewelry, dancewear, scarves, books, costume patterns, instructional videos, zills, and music!
