News — 100% soy candles

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...

Happy November 1st...what is known in my household as the month to be putting up the Christmas tree!
