Busy 2010

As most of my customers know we have taken most of 2010 off due to having a new addition to our family. I gave birth to Cole William June 2nd at 8:52pm Cole weighed 7lb 10oz and 21 inches long.

Cole will be three months old in a few days. He's growing so fast and I just want him to slow down, since he will be our last baby. With two kids to tend to I haven't had much time for candles. We'll be back full time next year for sure! As for this year we do have a few shows planned.


We are in the process of preparing for our first craft show that will be at The Festival of Leaves in Front Royal VA on October 9th! We've got some new products up our sleeves and can't wait to show them off!
