Hišš½ What started as a candle update (which I am excited to share) has turned into more of a life updateš I havenāt posted much on this platform since closing, so I was surprised my little story yesterday got so much love. Itās truly the interactions with so many of you I miss the most about actively running a B+M space (thank you and miss you)š«¶š¼
When closing, I alluded to next steps for DS, which werenāt finalized at that time and have since fallen through. It was-yet another- end/change to a dream, but this one ended before it even had wings to fly.
My focus this past summer & fall has been both inward and whatās right in front of me (my humans and furry or feathered petsš) for what I have deemed a āwellness journey.ā It hasnāt been without a bit of floundering, but the change of pace and renewed attention to family has brought healing. Surprisingly so much healing has been found in the kitchenš«¶š¼ Things like making and canning applesauce this week, harvesting our potatoes over the weekend, or batch making pesto from our garden basil⦠thereās a reason the simple tasks of connecting to the earth and the people who share in the food bring forth steady rhythms of whatās important- the true ingredients of slowing the mind and heart to be open and ready to receive whatās next.
I still believe thereās a continuation to this DS journey⦠it just hasnāt landed quite yet.
I do, however, have some fun news to share in the world of candle making! My friend, Kendra, has adoringly inquired about carrying my candles at her lovely establishment, š¤ Starting today, DS candles will be available for purchase ($30 for 100% Natural Coconut Soy Wax + sustainable wood wick & bamboo lid in a fair trade glass container candle) during OPEN hours at The Ragged Edge Art Bar and Gallery, including my seasonal Autumn Leaves scent! The first to purchase one, will have a $15 Ragged Edge gift certificate waiting for you as a thank you and to have a drink on me (Ghostflower is my current favorite on their fall menu)š„
Iām still providing Candle Refill services, so feel free to DM if you would like to get some of your DS candles refilledāš½
sending my love,
