Crabtree & Evelyn is in trouble

I'm a sucker for any brand with a hyphenated British name. Throw in some floral scents and chintz, and suddenly I'm convinced that I'm just one purchase away from living a tranquil and romantic existance.

So I've always loved Crabtree & Evelyn. It never changed the tempo of my life but it did make me smell nice and that was always good enough for me.

   

Today, I was crushed to read that Crabtree & Evelyn had filed Chapter 11.

The retail chain is expected to see an almost 25% drop in sales this year compared to 2008.

Hopefully, they can restructure and weather this economy.

 

In the meantime, enjoy looking at some of Crabtree & Evelyn's lovely product packaging. Click images to enlarge.

Potential flaw in Jaked brand isn't all that was exposed

Jaked, a brand of swimwear favored by competitive swimmers for its supposed ability to help them post better times, suffered an unfortunate malfunction at the Mediterranean Games yesterday.

Italian swimmer Flavia Zoccari had to sit out a championship race because her Jaked suit ripped open in along the back seam.

Oops.

Racers may think twice before donning the suit for future races. Missing a race one has trained for for years just because a swimsuit tore open has got to be a crushing disappointment.

Mostly nice billboards for Fidelity Investments

Love the design.

Don't care for the sentiment in this last one, though. Sounds too much like Bernie Madoff's philosophy of investing.

I suggest you celebrate by NOT eating the worst dessert idea since the pilgrims landed.
