Recycling Your Candle Container

We believe in recycling and give discounts for bringing back your container for a refill candle.  


Once your candle has burned all the way down, you may return the container to us for a refill of any fragrance of your choice, and we will give you a discount on the refilled candle.  The discount varies according the size and type of the container.  


We greatly appreciate the containers being returned to us already thoroughly cleaned out, without wax residue. Thank you so much for your consideration.

Looking for Craft Fair Opportunities for 2011

I am beginning my search for craft fair opportunities for the 2011 year.  I have a lot of possibles for the second half of the year, but would love to participate in some the first half of the year also.  If anyone could recommend good opportunities for the 2011 year, I would appreciate it.  I prefer to stay within a 50 mile radius of Monument, CO.  Thanks so much!

Making Candles Again

It's been a few weeks since I've made candles.  It was a nice break, but I must say that it was quite nice to get back to candle-making yesterday.  I'm glad to discover that in spite of the many crazy hours I spent making candles for the craft shows, I am not burned out on making candles. :-)


Yesterday, I made new batches of Love Spell and Cranberry Spice.  I really enjoy both those fragrances very much.  I poured both of those in some of our beautiful, new Interlude jars and made more wax tarts.

Black Raspberry Vanilla problems

It has come to my attention today, from multiple customers, that the Black Raspberry Vanilla scented candle has problems. For some reason, this particular fragrance is not giving a good scent throw, although it smells fantastic when not burning. This is VERY disappointing to me, and I am far from pleased with those results.

If you purchased one of these candles and are having a similar experience, please email me immediately. I want to know so I can make it right by replacing the candle with another one or giving you a refund. 

If any of my customers are not very pleased with their candles, I definitely want to know right away. 

We have a customer satisfaction guarantee:  If you are not completely satisfied with our candles after the first 4 hours of burn time, please do not continue to burn the candle with disappointment.  Contact us immediately, and we will replace the candle or refund your money. 

I am so appreciative of the customer who contacted me today to let me know about the Black Raspberry Vanilla candle she purchased.  I was able to contact another person who also purchased the same fragrance from the same batch, and they confirmed the same problems.

Thank you!  I appreciate your feedback.

We have some very exciting news.

First bit of news:  We want to let everyone know that our candles are now also being sold at The Emporium in Falcon, CO.  The Emporium is a lovely and homey embroidery shop where they also sell handcrafted items from local artists.  What a wonderful little niche in Falcon!  I think it’s a jewel.  The owners of the shop and the people who work there are fabulous, personable people that make everyone feel welcome the moment they walk in.  It is a wonderful place with excellent embroidery and unique hand crafted goods.

So, if you are interested in purchasing our candles, you may call or email us directly or purchase them at Salon 105 in Palmer Lake and at The Emporium in Falcon, CO.

Second bit of news:  To complement our all natural essential oil soy wax candles, we are now also offering 100% pure, certified therapeutic grade essential oils.  This has been one of our desires for the past couple of months, and it has finally come to fruition.  We are extremely excited to offer these essential oils to our customers.  For more detailed information about the oils we are offering, please visit our Essential Oils for Health and Healing blog.  You may also email or call me, if you’d like to chat in person to learn more or to get some samples of the oils.

Happy New Year!

The Aromatherapy Candle Challenge

We realize there are quite a few people who are sensitive or allergic to the fragrance put out by scented candles.  Most of the common symptoms associated with the sensitivity are headaches, a tickle in the throat, and some trouble with breathing.

We are very curious to conduct a test with any individual who may be willing to give it a try.  We are asking for people who are typically sensitive to regular candles to try one of our aromatherapy candles (the most natural scented candle that can be bought) and to let us know if they still have sensitivity. 

Here’s how the challenge works: 

You purchase one of our aromatherapy candles, burn it for four hours straight within two weeks of purchase, and immediately report back to us your experience.  If you experience any sensitivity or are unsatisfied with the candle for any reason, we will pick up the candle from you, and give you 100% of your money back.  If the candle works out for you and you decide to keep it, we will give you a 3 oz. aromatherapy candle as a thank you gift. 

It’s that simple. 

I have a neighbor who purchased one of our Lavender aromatherapy candles.  She expressed having sensitivities to regular candles.  When I checked in with her after she had burned our Lavender candle, she told me that she did not experience the usual sensitivity symptoms like she had in the past.  She said the candle did not adversely affect her in any way and was very pleased with it.

If you’d like to take “The Essential Oil Challenge”, contact us at your convenience and let us know.

Thanks so much!
