The rooster isn’t just another pretty beak… he actually holds a special place in the hearts of many in varying cultures. The Spanish, for example believe that a rooster crowing at sunset foretells bad weather and that you should never kill a white rooster as they bring good luck. They also believe that roosters are associated with the sun and protect humankind. The Japanese, on the other hand, believe that the rooster is a sacred animal. They’re allowed to roam freely and enter Shinto Temples where it gives the morning call to the goddess Amaterasu. Also respected for its fighting ability, the rooster is revered as a symbol of courage. Here in the States, we have a more practical use for these showy creatures. In addition to his assistance in growing America’s egg industry, it is also the rooster’s instinct to protect its hens and other livestock from harmful predators. And then there’s the fact that he’s plain handsome!
Buffalo Trader Online offers several charming options for the rooster collector in your life and just in time for Mother’s Day! To help welcome the sights of spring, Buffalo Trader Online’sGoofy Cowboy Rooster Birdhouse is particularly charming. Or consider the Antiqued Wrought Iron Metal Sculpted Rooster for the more artistic collector. Arte Italica’s Fantasia Rooster Decanter adds whimsy to even the most formal of dining environments. Happy Spring, y’all… Cock-a-doodle-doo!
It’s been documented that the use of lavender oil to treat conditions such as anxiety, stress, alopecia and insomnia is incredibly beneficial. Lavender is also being used in studies for its antibacterial and antiviral properties but is most commonly found being used in more homeopathic applications such as soaps and scented oils as research confirms its calming sedative effects when its scent is inhaled.
Kin to lavender is another herbal remedy… sandalwood. High in the chemical component, sesquiterpenes (easy for you to say), sandalwood stimulates the pineal gland located in the brain and is responsible for the release of melatonin into the blood stream. Melatonin is directly responsible for regulating the sleep cycle, is a powerful antioxidant and offers powerful benefits to the immune system.
There’s a new oil in Buffalo Trader town. Proud – Jay Eagle is Artist, Denny Karchner’s latest addition to the oil family. The subject, Jay Eagle is a winning Powwow dancer an example of which can be seen in this video:
Although styles vary between regions, the Powwow (Anglicized for the Algonquian term, pauau), can be traced back roughly 400 years to a Pawnee Religious ceremony practiced in the early 19th century and later adopted by the Omaha. The exact origination of the Powwow is vague as traditional Indian dance was deemed illegal by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the 1890′s. It is documented that tribal medicine men and spiritual leaders performed Powwow in religious ceremonies, as well as elite warrior societies known as Grass Dancers.
The original painting is currently available! Or varying sizes of this beautifully historic piece in print can be purchased exclusively at Buffalo Trader Online. Enjoy!

The holidays will be here before we know it. That said, we thought it would be a good thing to talk about the emails we send out during this time. We want you to know how your email address is used to fulfill your order as fast as possible and to give you extra discounts with coupon codes.
The most important reason for having a valid email is to notify you of your order status. A real email address is required to ensure you can be notified if there is a question or issue with your order. No one likes to give out their email address because then the spam comes in. We understand. We hate it, too.
This is the main reason we only send out six promotional HTML emails a year, from September to January. These email offers only go out to people that have created an account on Buffalo Trader Online or submitted their email address in our physical retail store.
The emails contain coupon codes for extra discounts that will not be found on the site. We also do this for our Facebook fans, so get on over there and friend us up for twice the savings! http://www.facebook.com/buffalotraderonline
If you do not wish to receive the HTML emails, just hit the “Safe Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of one of the emails and you are removed before the next mailing.
Be careful not to mark us as spam if you plan on ordering from us, as it may prevent your order emails from reaching you. Entities like AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail have their own modules in place that will completely block an email from even making it to your junk mail folder if they think it’s spam. It is always best to add the address to your address book to prevent important order information from being lost.
Some mail houses will actually put a block on a URL if too many people mark an email as spam, which is a tremendous feat to have removed. This means that anyone emailing us from the blocked mail house address (i.e. johndoe@aol.com) can’t email us and we can’t email them. Most people don’t realize that by marking an email as spam, it’s actually getting that URL blocked from that entire mail house. The user simply thinks they’re marking it as spam so it goes to their junk mail folder instead of their inbox.
It is our goal to keep our customers, not drive them away. Your personal information will never be shared or sold. No one likes a spammer, period. We want you to know what to expect from us so there is no question about what we are doing with your information. If you have any questions, please visit our Support page for all contact information.
Lapis Lazuli is a very rich blue (almost purple) stone used for centuries by the Egyptians for medicinal purposes and cosmetics when ground. Romans actually used lapis as an aphrodisiac! In the middle Ages, the ground powder when mixed with milk was used to cure ulcers and was believed to maintain a healthy skeletal system when worn. When worn around the neck, Blue Lapis is said to energize the throat chakra and when placed over the brow, is said to induce a heightened level of awareness.
Aside from all of the healthy folklore and legends about this stunningly beautiful blue stone, it’s simply beautiful! Buffalo Trader Online offers substantial and gorgeous pieces set in sterling silver that would compliment any ensemble. Their Sterling Silver and Large Blue Lapis Necklace Pendant is not only made of the finest quality Lapis Lazuli and .925 sterling silver, but would make quite a stunning gift for someone special. Or for a different kind of ‘blue-tiful’ bold, try their Sterling Silver Faceted Blue Lapis French Wire Earrings.
