  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. ...

A Merry Christmas Eve Eve to you and yours! As the holidays arrive, it's the perfect time for reflection and relaxation after yet another busy year.  2024 stink, stank and stunk in many ways as costs went up almost everywhere with shipping still being a major expense and issue, which was topped off with a Canada Post strike at the end of the year.  Overall, not a great recollection of 2024 if we summarize it that way.  However, I have the BEST customer base who supports me each and every year and somehow, together, we figure it out.  Thank you...

It's Black Friday week! Hi all!  As you well know, it isn't often that I get behind a sale but with the quieter the Christmas season on the market front, the more time I have to organize stock and supplies and plan for 2025.  It turns out that I have a bit too much of certain candles because I ended up not going to a market here on the island.   So, my sore and healing knee (keeping me from hauling things around to markets) is your great time to pick up some extra candles at 50% OFF!   If you go...

  Hello friends! Thank you to all who came out to support me at markets and shows this past year!  Despite injuries, heavy boxes of stock were moved around to shows/markets that commitments were made to.  Well, most of them anyways.  Mother Nature didn't always agree with going outdoors to sell on a Saturday so some days were missed at the local Salt Spring Farmer's Market but I feel like I attended a good many of them to make sure that my peeps could sniff and sample to their delight. For the balance of 2024, I will be selling online...
