Greetings from the West Coast! Hopefully wherever you are, your cold weather is going away and you are seeing signs of Spring.  Here, it's been Spring like weather for at least a month now, if not longer.  The daffodils are blooming, I saw yellow water lilies blooming in a stream area just today and the Wild Rose bushes have been in bloom for a few weeks now.  The trees are now a sea of white and purple and green.  It definitely is Spring here! There's been so much going on that I almost missed this anniversary of an event that...

Hi friends! As you may or may not be aware, this is a 100% Canadian owned company.  Run by myself, a woman with all of my products being 100% handmade by myself.  It really hasn't been something that I have gone on and on about over the years and the last 5 years have been filled with business altering events.  Year after year, something new comes along to change how I do business and what I am about.  But ever true is my commitment to making and selling my own products. I used to have brick and mortar stores and...

  Happy March to all! And just like that we are coming up to the end of the first quarter of the year.  Before we know it, Easter will be here!  It's so much fun making for the holidays and Easter is no exception.  This year, I'm challenging myself by taking on chocolate making.  At Christmas time I made Peppermint Patties that were wonderful.  I make homemade marshmallows on the regular so I'm thinking this year I'll be putting together some chocolate covered marshmallow bunnies (or hearts at the very least) for Easter fun. But I understand, you don't get...

  Happy February to all! It was about two years ago at about this time that I started to think about moving to Salt Spring Island.  Everything happened really quickly and I took the leap of faith.  It has mostly worked out really well but the downturn in the economy really curbed my ability to find my own permanent place here on the island within a couple of years.   I'm going to be brutally honest but the place I was originally in was not great.  I made it work which was the criteria for the first place here.  I was...

Happy New Year to one and all and as the planning for 2025 evolves, information is always taken from 2024 sales.  What is amazing is that the winners of each year stay very much the same from year to year but occassionally there's a little surprise thrown into the mix. It is no big surprise that Woodland Whisper was the hands down Scent of the Year in 2024!   it is such an amazing scent!  I've been burning it in my home since November and will probably make it my main candle scent in the house until February of this year. ...
