Actually, even a few hours makes a difference in Texas weather! Last week, at this time, we were getting ready for another blast of Old Man Winter.

Based on the 70plus temps today, I think he decided to heed that groundhog and end winter a bit early! Which is great news for me. I LOVE spring! Soft breezes, warm sunlight and best of all, FLOWERS!

I adore flowers. Flower scents, too. Which is why I always look forward to this time of year. Truly, I sell many more candles in the fall season, due to the fact that folks are trapped indoors and want to freshen the air. But in the spring I pour all of the soft summer scents. Here’s a quick look!

An assortment of jar candles, can't you just smell them?

Honeysuckle, Cherry Blossom and Melonade (a blend of succulent melon and tart lemons) are pictured. But I make a LOT of floral fragrances. This year look for Lilac, Jasmine (of course, always popular), Plumeria (a staple of my line), Gardenia, Summer Garden, Bloom and many more! Of course, not to be outdone, there’s also the lovely lighter herbals like Lemongrass and Bamboo.

Spring is a really great season for fabulous scent. Not too heavy. But definitely ‘there’ and fresh and scent. I know you’ll love them.

Check back in a few weeks, as I’ll be refreshing the scent list with a few new ones (maybe even a few I haven’t decided upon yet!). In the meantime, throw off the winter blues and try on some softer colors….like pink!

…that I’m in the middle of a major house painting! Don’t think I haven’t forgotten you, but will post more in a week. I will take some pictures of the new space (you know, I totally forgot to take pictures of the OLD space, so you’ll have to understand that it was chaos…and hideous.).

The new paint color is a lovely light citrus green…think lemongrass but with a touch more yellow. Utterly wonderful and cool and light! Just what we need in blistering hot Texas!

It was 104 here today. Something cool to look at is a major blessing. Talk to you (more) soon!

Because I now have 4 new scents of bath bombs drying in my work cabinet. Green Apple, Dream, Raindrops and Coconut Cream! When I say it smells good, well that is an understatement. The smell is utterly delectable. I know you’re going to adore them.

I should begin listing these in the next week. My problem is, always, photography. I make great products, but my photography skills…well while I will admit that my photography skills have drastically improved in the last year or so, I’m still FAR from pro. I guess that that does make sense. I have spent the vast majority of my time perfecting my recipes, rather than my ability to see through a camera lens.

But soon, I’ll show them off to you. I have, at this moment, the following scents (in addition to those listed). Lavender, Cherry, Plumeria, Fresh, Lemon Sugar, Lemongrass and Pomegranate. Still to be made (but in the plans) are Frostbite, Milk & Honey, and Rose. Each of my products is wrapped in a bright foil before being bagged and labeled. I went with the bags due to my desire to limit landfill waste. I hope you don’t mind. Boxes ARE cute, but they also add to the expense, as well as the landfill. I like to be conscious of my footprint as well as your wallet.

These are all coming soon. But now I have to figure out what scents fit with chartreuse, orange, black and burgundy. Cause I have those foil colors, too!
