Melts have been sent and are now on sale in good old horwich..courtesy of the lovely Sue at the flower butler.

Weekend had landed.....wax melts ;0)

Afternoon Lovelies.....


What are you up to this weekend? I have been a very busy bee this morning making wax melts...50 bags done(approx 650 melts!!)...all ready to land in Horwich...my hometown :0) with a whole variety of scents/shapes!


For those of you who don't know what a wax melt is..its a solid form of fragrance oil which you pop into an oil burner...the mainstream expensive melts are made from parrafin wax...however my melts are made of eco- soy wax...properties to follow ;0)  fragranced with american grade fragrance oils...which are vastly superior to UK fragrance oils!! the scent throw is beautiful both hot and cold! Lots of my customers have melts in there cars/ clothes draws and even in bowl's on tables to keep there houses smelling yummy!


  •  SOY WAX PROPERTIES.......
  • Soy wax is 100% vegetable derived, made from pure soybean oil

  • Therefore it burns longer and more cleanly than paraffin wax without the black sooty mess!




    •  Its natural, biodegradable and free from pesticides and herbicides


    •  Soy wax is produced without genetically modified materials


    •  It's easy to clean up with soap and hot water,so if you spill it you can wipe it up easily! unlike  trying to scrape parrafin off windowsills! been there-done that!


    • Its not subject to animal testing - none of my products are tested on animals!

    • The last point is that soy wax is a  renewable & sustainable resource!!

    And don't forget its yummy in massage candles!!!

    I have practically 300 scents now..but my motto is 'you dream it, I create it'! I love a challenge!! So feel free to chuck scents my way!! The only one I am still hunting for is petrol!! but I have found soft leather..which does smell a bit like petrol to me! 


    Go on...give us a go...I have many,many customers who vouch for the fact that you wont be dissapointed!! xxxx

    Massage candles....;0)

    Good evening lovelies....


    This post is inspired by customers to be honest...I haven't stocked any whilst we are moving around but massage candles will be readily available again once the new website it opened!!However lots of people recently have been contacting me asking for info on massage candles...lots of people wanting to try them but not sure....


    well point number one is that my wax ecosoy doesn't have the same burn temperature as parrafin wax and therefore will never get hot enough to burn your skin! 


    point number two that is that ecosoy wax is lovely and soft on the skin..and I also add sweet almond oil and shea butter to my candles to make them that extra bit special ;0) they truly do leave your skin beautifully soft!


    point number three is that all my massage candles can be unscented or scented in any of my UK cosmetic grade oils...my fave that we have tested is parma violets! please note my candles aren't edible but for you kinky so and so's out there you could always team a massage candle with a bottle edible massage oil! bubblegum is yummy ;0)


    and finally point number 4 is that everyone deserves a massage at the end of a busy day...unwind relax all those tense muscles and float away...what better way than by candle-light?


    I shall leave you lovely folk to ponder on this...and remember god didn't just give you hands for washing up ;0) 


    mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhh xxxx


    p.s....I never said I wasn't a dimwit!! lolol...how to use the candles...its simple really just light the candle wait until the wax has pooled...scoop out and massage wherever you require/desire ;0) the wax will melt away into your skin and wont leave any sticky residue :0) xxxxxx







    Happy Friday!!

    Good morning lovelies.....


    Whats on everyones agenda's today? Lots of funny stuff to raise money for comic relief? Share what your doing with us :0) I must confess that with all the chaos of trying to move and work at the same time I haven't the time or stock to arrange anything..however that doesn't mean that we haven't donated...I think the donate via text option is fab..quick and simple...;0) 


    On another note mothers day is fast approaching!! So I am a busy bee finalising gift boxes....we will have a few options available..


    'sweet scented love'.... a mix of 4 votives in glass holders..all scented/coloured to complement each other..a lovely gift for mummies who love candles!

    Found this and had to share!!

    A crafters poem....

    Crafters are a funny bunch,
    We'd rather craft than eat our lunch.
    The housework, it can always wait.
    It will be there on some other date.
    No craft is left to be untried,
    No creative thought to be denied.
    Craft supplies - they're everywhere!
    We're never caught without a spare.
    Can our time be better spent,
    Than practicing our creative bent?
    Let it be said when we are done,
    We worked, we laughed, we had lots of fun.

    Its very true you know!! Xxxxxxx

    Good morning Lovelies ;0)
