Vines on the wall


We had just returned home from vacation, I was hollering to the kids to make sure everything from the beach was put on the back patio because I didn't want sand in the house when I walked back here and saw this.

Mother nature growing through the tiniest corner of my window.

I was delighted.

My husband was not, and as I was on the patio shaking out the beach towels he was cutting and pulling my pretty green friend from the ceiling.   By the time the children had laid out their seashells along the garden bed he had put away the caulk gun.

New Grape Vine Candles


As I've been slowly trying to move my business away from the mass novelty candles I find myself coming right back to it, this time in the shape of grapes!

I couldn't resit, they are super cute and really fun to make and I thought they would go great with the wine cork candles.

These little grape clusters of wax are quite beautiful when lit.  They really glow!

Measures 2.5 inches long by 1 inch tall. Burns about 3 hours.I hHand paint the green vines and leaves.
Green and Merlot colored. Unscented for now, but I can find a good vino fragrance I'll go for it.

Any candle makers out there willing point me in the right direction?  I'm looking for an actual wine fragrance oil  The ones I've ordered have been very grape smelly and not like wine at all.

Floating rose candles new Rust color



Fall has been on my mind a lot lately and after re-tooling the color chart a few weeks ago I realized that I'm severely lacking a good range of fall color options.   It's on the project list this summer for a slow release but our first one is finished!

I had a few requests for a rust color last year after I released that disastrous pumpkin orange everyone said they liked "but could you make it a tad tamer?"  They were right it was just sooo Orange.

So here they are, in all their lovely rusty glorious-ness
