Groovy Ganja

Cannabis, Pot, Weed, Shunk, Hash, there are many names for Marijuana. If you are planning a sixties themed party and don’t want to get arrested then our new Cannabis Fragranced Candle could be the choice for you. Just be careful that you aren’t pulled up by the fashion police for wearing those psychedelic flares. For more 60’s party ideas think: Lava Lamps, Jimmy Hendrix, Woodstock, Large Glasses, Sandals, Flower Power. Peace and Love x

Delicate Pleasures

"Here are sweet peas, on tip-toe for a flightWith wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white,And taper fingers catching at all thingsTo bind them all about with tiny rings."Keats

I’ve just finished a batch of Sweet Pea. It’s a fantastic floral fragrance with a girly sweetness. An ideal fragrance to use for candle making as there is a wide choice in colours. Today, I’ve been making Lizbeth Peach and Grandma Butt Pink. I’m not sure who named these Sweet Pea varieties but they obviously have a sense of humour . I’m also planning a few blue and lavender tones.

Apple Fragranced Candle

This fruity candle is sweet & light with a fragrant apple bite. There are over 7500 varieties of apple, so there was some debate regarding which colour would suit the Apple Scent. In the end, I am supplying my shops with good old Granny Smith Green Candles. Pink Lady’s are probably my favourite (to eat) but pink and red apples just don’t have visual appeal. Perhaps it’s the Snow White complex. Apparently, it takes about 42 apples to make a gallon of cider. We don’t do a Cider Apple pillar candle at the moment, but with my fondness of all things alcoholic (Especially Bulmer’s) I will be sure to find one.

All about Almond

The Almond appeared in Biblical scriptures as far back as 1400bc. Sugar coated, chocolate smothered, in macaroons or marzipan; Almonds are a popular edible treat throughout the world. The tradition of sugared almonds comes from the Romans where they were given to newlyweds as a symbol of fertility. In Italy today, 5 white almonds symbolise good health, wealth, happiness, fertility and longevity. Whilst our Almond fragrance oil won’t necessarily guarantee a happy marriage, an Almond fragranced candle will fill your home with a warming nutty aroma and who knows…
