Thank you to everyone who’s ordered a candle so far this weekend . You’ve knocked my little socks off* and made me so happy. 🙏☺️😁

*I lied. I wear big socks. Big chunky soft hiking socks and I love them. 🧦 

Oh! We saw a tawny owl fly right across our path today, and then a beautiful raven swooped down to the rocks after we’d left and nibbled my fruitcake crumbs.

At the time, it seemed like a genius idea to launc At the time, it seemed like a genius idea to launch our first candle collection the day after we’d booked to have the double glazing done.

So wrong.

There’s a lot of drilling and noise and men. 😭 I think one’s even tapping out a little rhythm with his drill on the bricks. Meanwhile I’m downstairs writing a little story for my “Sea of Calm” candle. 😂🌊

All the candles are upstairs (safe!) but I’m hiding downstairs 🙈😭

Big Candles update... we've hit a little snag in o Big Candles update... we've hit a little snag in our testing this morning! One of our fave fragrances is being a little... let's say uppity. Our Ocean Dreams candle is undergoing final testing... and we're cradling the barest flicker of the wood wick as it burns bravely (but barely) on! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So - this means only a few of our Big Candles will be ready on Friday evening. The good news is that Sand & Solace (my fave!) candles are all packed up and ready to go! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I'm cooking up a new batch in the morning... I'm thinking Sea Salt & Caramel, alongside 'We Love Glamping' melt bars for starters. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Positive vibes for my little candle flame in testing please... he's battling on bravely! 🙈🕯⁠⁠
