Axis ringA unique addition to the “The Psalm 23 Jewelry Collection” from Laura K Designs is the Psalm 23 Axis Ring, a two-ring set of stainless steel rings. The outer band is inscribed with, “The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want...Psalm 23.” The inner band reads, “I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” The rings do not separate and are worn by one person. The inner ring can spin, but can also rotate in any direction, making visible the writing on it. Available this month in whole sizes 5 to 9, the Axis Ring retails for $24.99.

In home décor news, The Faith Collection offers customers this month their choice of Standing Glass and Resin Shadow Boxes or a multi-cross 6-by-4-inch resin photo frame with matching 10-inch wall cross, all retailing under $30.

Kerusso TshirtKerusso’s 10-millionth T-shirt has been sold. The 23-year-old company, founded by Vic Kennett when he was 23, shipped the 10-millionth shirt to the Sonshine Book and Gift Shop in Lake Jackson, Texas, in early November. The business started with a family loan of $1,000 and only three designs.

In another recognition, author Emilie Barnes and artist Susan Rios recently received The Tea House Times’ Seal of Approval award for Excellent Quality Book for their Harvest House Publishers’ gift book Christmas Teas of Comfort and Joy, which released in June.

To help on a cold night, His Essence introduced in December a new candle that “crackles” as it burns. Timberwick is a 16-oz. jar candle that retails for $19.95 and is available in three scents, His Essence original, Servanthood and Resurrection. A new 7-oz. Memorial candle jar retails for $12.95, comes in the original scent and is inscribed with “ ... In Me you may have peace. ... John 16:33.”
