Never mind Fall at my house it's already Christmas...I just "baked" this new Gingerbread House grubby loaf candle...it's loaded with all kinds of goodies and smells scrumptious.

New Christmas Candle


I made a bunch of these Bayberry Candles they are on my work table waiting to be wrapped up...I can smell them from my desk...they smell so good...it's a nice blend of fir and balsam with delicate spicy undertones of nutmeg and ginger. I think I am going to burn one...just one...sorry I can't help myself.

Words from the competition...

This is a convo I received on my Etsy account last week...

Hey there! I started making candles about 3 years ago, mainly because I had to find a way to support my addiction to BUYING candles & tarts! Ha!

I just wanted to tell you, that you are doing a FAB job! I was searching for one of my candles to see where it was pulling up in search and I swear I wanted to reach through the screen and take a bite outta one of yours! So, if one day I buy from you I don't want you to think I'm crazy because I make my own..
Great job!

C.

Ok, so even the people who make their own candles want to buy my candles!!!

New Gingerbread Bakery Candles and Grubby Loaf Candles


I have just finished pouring some gingerbread grubby loaf candles...my whole office and workshop smell yummy!

Yesterday my workshop was beginning to smell a lot like Christmas...I poured candles and tarts scented in Christmas Wreath, Country Christmas, Frosty Pine and Spruce Christmas Tree...no wonder I am ready to put up my Christmas Tree...

I am also dreaming of Vanilla Bean Noel (a favorite duplicate of the famous BBW), I also have visions of Sugar Plum (nice sweet scent) fairies dancing in my head...and Roasted Chesnuts (yes, there is a scent called Roasted Chestnuts) on an open fire...

And I'll finish with a nice cup of Hot Cocoa loaded witn mini marshmallows just like this yummy looking candle featured on the right.

Grubby Bakery Candles

I am sorry to say that I picked up a new Copycat Fan...someone who bought candles from me and now is duplicating every designs I create...I don't know what it is with these people but ever since I started making candles (almost 10 years ago) I have had people buy my candles to copy them...very badly in most cases, not everyone is talented and there are some pretty ugly candles out there.

Some people have stolen my pictures of my websites and tried to pass my candles as theirs...I even had a women buy my candles and put them on her website...

I don't understand what is the purpose of all that...why are you making candles if you do not inspired to create anything of beauty and have to imitate what others are doing...MONKEYS DO THAT...

Is it greed do you think that you will become a millionaire by making candles...Find yourself something that inspire you to create...something that is you...be yourself...don't be a MONKEY!

To me making candles is an outlet to my creativity...I have always been very artistic, I loved working with my hands, with colors, textures and shapes. When I make my candles I get inspired by a fragrance's name and take it from there to create something unique.

And when I am not making candles I am still finding ways to be creative to add beauty in my daily life...isn't life a work of art in progess?
