Candles

Candles are such a beautiful addition to the home.  I love the warmth they bring, not in a physical way, but it is almost soothing to the soul to see the flicker of the flame and enjoy the fragrance (although honestly I would like it even without a fragrance)  This may be a sense of home that is illuminated in the old Victorian age pictures of a warm fireplace and families cozy by the fire reading a bedtime story or it could be because nothing makes my heart more cheerful then sitting around a campfire looking up to the star and down to the colored flames and coals.  One of my happiest places to be!
Anyway Candles are one of my favorite ways to give ambiance to a room.
So, I make them... I use soy wax and bees wax and create something I love for myself and to share with others. It is a hobby of mine that I make a little bit of money with around holidays...
I am going to make some more today to finish off a Christmas basket for a friend of mine, he usually purchases a couple of gift baskets for family.  His grandmom and mother enjoy them and he gives them something personal and from the heart. (we chat a lot about their likes and dislikes)  It is a win for me... Christmas $ and a win for him... two gifts done... and for them...they love the candles...
I hope to post some pictures of the candles and making them on here soon... so check back!
Have a great day and enjoy a candle and give one to a friend!
