It's just too early...

When you're in retail the holidays come up faster than you're ready for.  

Take Fall for instance:  it's June.  And while I'm waiting for the wax to melt I'm in the pool sipping on a gin cocktail and planning fall candles.

It's hard to get those creative juices flowing when it's a 114 degrees outside.

I don't want to think about fall colors or maple leaves or pumpkins

I want to plan a BBQ or go on a road trip. 

Enjoy your summer folks, it goes by too fast.

pouring pumpkins.

I'm beat.

I spend the whole day pouring nothing but orange wax.  Pumpkins, leaves and candy corn tops, which is actually the bottom in the world of upside down candle making.

I spent some of last week getting pictures taken for Halloween and I have a few spooky yet fun candles to bring to the blog.
