I'm coming to see you Vancouver!

  It's mid September already and I'm busy with the Salt Spring Farmers Market and getting ready for an Oktoberfest Market the last weekend of September in downtown Vancouver! Yes, Vancouver, I'll be there Sept 28th and 29th at the Junction Public Market from  11 am - 9 pm Saturday and 11 am to 7 pm on Sunday.   The market is at 200 Granville Street at the outdoor plaza between Waterfront Station and Canada Place.  Just down the street from where the Vancouver Christmas Market is held.  Except, this year, instead of being at the VCM, I'll be at this...

A new Hartmont scent has finally arrived!

NEW SCENT ANNOUNCEMENT!   Happy August to you!  I am so excited to announce my newest Summer scent that I'm sneaking into the line, with still a few weeks left of sunny weather.  My new scent is called Salty Mermaid.  It is an intoxicating blend of salt water and ocean breeze with agave, seaweed and coconut.  Think a mermaid sipping out of a coconut while perched on a harbour rock with a little bit of seaweed caught on her tail while the ocean waves crash around her. If you like my Beach Bum scent, you might like this new scent. ...

Happy Spring Break to everyone!  Don't you just love when you plan for one thing and then something else comes to the forefront and changes need to be made?  I feel like that may just be my theme of 2024. The roads on Salt Spring Island are winding and hilly like the pic above. To give you some idea, the speed limit on most of the island is 50 km per hour, there are no stop lights (there are stop signs) and most roads have a do not pass, solid line down the middle.  If you get stuck behind someone...

Hello daylight savings time!

Hello friends! February has flown by with all the activities and planning going on here on Salt Spring Island.   And Daylight Savings Sunday is already upon us!!  The schedule here is usually something to the tune of January is for dreaming, February is for planning those dreams and then March is for putting it into action or at least getting started.  Of course, the larger picture dream doesn't happen right away but small steps that are now being implemented are taking us in that direction and it's really quite exciting.  It's a good journey to be on.  It's definitely not...

Saying good bye to January and hello to February!

Happy last week of January! I've been busy planning and organizing supplies and stock and have decided to clear out some large Aurora candles that I just have a little too much stock of.  It's all part of the organizing and building stock for the 2024 season that has me looking at these few left overs and thinking to myself that I'd rather that you got to enjoy them.  So I'm doing a spend $100 and get a free large candle of my choice for you promo.  You will notice the difference in coloring of these candles as the color...
