Candles of the Day - Floral Bouquet & Lily of the Valley
Today I’m actually burning two different candles in different parts of the house. The first is a 12oz jelly jar in Lily of the Valley, which is almost always sitting in my bathroom. I burn it on a regular basis and it’s about the only scent I do burn in the bathroom. Why? No idea, but I absolutely LOVE that scent.
The other candle is sitting right here in my front room, and it’s Floral Bouquet. The jar it’s in is actually one of my old jars, but is similar to the 8oz faceted jars. This is also one of my favorite scents, because it reminds me of the greenhouse I grew up next door to. Carnations are my favorite flower, and that’s what you can smell the most in this blend of various greenhouse flowers. It really does smell just like their cooler where they kept the carnations and other flowers!
The reason for burning these two today was to think spring. It’s been bitter cold outside for far too long, and I needed something to remind me of spring. So out came the spring scented candles to beat the winter blues!

We’re introducing a new section here on the blog titled “Candle of the Day”. Since I burn so many candles and melts, I decided it was about time to share what’s burning from day to day.
Today’s scent and candle of the day is an 8oz jelly jar candle in the scent “Birthday Cake”. I can really smell the frosting, and it went well with that brownie I ate early (which happened to be lacking frosting, so just the smell was good enough for me!). As mentioned, it’s burning in an 8oz sized jar in my (somewhat large) front room. I can smell it all over the house, and especially when I walk in the front door.
This is one of the newest scents you’ll find on the site. Enjoy!

We’re excited this year to be a part of the Scavenger Babies presented by All Natural Mommies. The rules are pretty simple - each day of the contest you’ll have a new site to find the peek-a-boo baby icon on. Prairie Soy Candles is one of them, but we can’t tell you which day!
The catch is the baby will only but up for 24-hours, and you MUST report where you found it before time is up. It all starts October 1st, but you can register your information now.
Good luck and have fun!

The newest scent added just today - Strawberry Rhubarb Pie! Just as the name suggests, it’s the aroma of sweet fresh strawberries mixed with sour rhubarb marmalade, with a base note of flaky pie crust. One of those “want to eat” scents without a doubt.
This scent is one of three strawberry scents you’ll find in the scent list. The other two are Strawberry Daiquiri and Strawberry & Champagne. Even though all three are “strawberry”, each are unique in their own way. Daiquiri is very sweet, while Champagne has a “clean” scent to it. The newest is slightly more tart with a bakery undertone to it. All three are fantastic, so instead of deciding on one you might have to try all three!
