We’ve been a bit sneaky.

Last week the large 16oz “fish bowls” decorated candles were added to the site, and we didn’t announce it. Not on the blog and not in the newsletter. Oops!

What makes these decorated candles unique is they are decorated by scent. The candle pictured is in Caribbean Morning scent. You’ll see it’s decorated with “tropical” butterflies in an orange theme.

A few months back, my grandparents had their 60th wedding anniversary. As a gift, we donated several of these jars to be placed on the tables. All were in floral scents to hopefully please the masses. Each decorated with floral designs and pastel colors. They looked absolutely beautiful!

So anyway, the 16oz “Fish Bowl” jars are now available. The 8oz faceted jars were also released today. These are also decorated candles based on scent choice. Very fun gifts!

Valentine’s day is just around the corner! Since all candles are handmade when ordered and estimated shipping time is up to two weeks, we decided to post our gift ideas a little early to give you enough time to shop.

To be released in time for Valentine’s Day:

Heart Votives
To Be Released January 17th
These adorable white frosted votives feature a heart shaped “gem” on the side. A perfect gift for any candle lover! Available in any scent, although we thing it would be cute in the scent “Pink Sugar” or “Love Spell”. Gift box included.

Chocolate
To Be Released January 17th
Chocolate is also set to be released on the same day as the votive holders. Perfect for those on diets - enjoy the scent without the calories!

Pink Sugar
To Be Released January 31st
A very fun and unique scent! If you are looking for a scent that’s very sweet, this one is a great choice. Pink Sugar will be replacing cotton candy on our scent list, because we think you’ll like this one better.

Honey
To Be Released February 7th
Love the scent of golden honey? This scent is very true to it’s name. A great give for your “honey” on Valentine’s day!

We had an absolutely wonderful New Year’s Eve. Several friends came over, and the kids all had a great time.

I decided to burn my Sweet Orange & Chili Pepper Teddy Bear Jar that night, because it seems everyone loves that scent, including one friend who I knew was coming over. She commented on it when she walked in the door.
That same friend decided to bring over goodies to bake for everyone, and I didn’t blow out the candle while baking. Much to my surprise, it complimented the smell of baked goodies in the oven absolutely perfect. The scent just blended right in with the oatmeal bread, pumpkin bars, apple cake, and chocolate cherry cake.

It’s nice to find those scents which complement other normal scents already in my home.
