Yes yes yes, I know its Wednesday and I’m a few day’s late in writing this. As you can imagine this is the time of year for candles so I’ve been feverishly pouring trying to keep up! The past two Sunday’s @Market have been exceptional as well as the steady stream of web orders. At the moment I’m enjoying a nice break sitting downstairs in front of the blazing fire place with the dogs and playing on Facebook.
If you haven’t had a chance to smell my Christmas Tree & Spiced Cranberry candles, you should really have a smell. The Christmas Tree candle was a new addition last year and has a nice blend of evergreen, cedar and notes of earth; it’s like walking through a forest! It took me several years to find a Christmas Tree scent that didn’t smell like pine sol. The Spiced Cranberry is new this year (it replaced a non-spiced version of cranberry) and that one is also incredibly festive with its tart notes of cranberries and warm spice.
I was pleasantly surprised when both of those fragrances sold out within half an hour last Sunday at Market! So I’ll be busy making more of those tonight. I’ll also be pouring the last of the Egg Nog candles for the season (about 25) so I’ll be sad when those are gone as they smell so yummy.
This coming weekend I’ll be at the Napa Expo for the “Santa’s helper craft faire” with my good friend Deb. I’m very excited because we’ll be right next to each other so we’ll be able to keep each other company during the lulls and help keep an eye on each other’s booths for restroom breaks and food runs. I’ve never participated at this event before so it will be interesting to see how it pans out, hopefully it will be full of customers shopping for our quality handmade gifts! This however means that I will not be at the Walnut Creek Farmers Market on Sunday, I’ll miss you!
Well it’s 8:00pm and I’ve been goofing off on this computer for way too long. There is just something so mesmerizing and comforting about sitting by a fire and being hypnotized by it’s dancing flames. And a warm smile crosses my face when Johann, in his Christmas sweater stands up on the hearth to enjoy the warmth of the fire.
