LAST CALL!🌲

I’ll be pouring candles in the next few days, so this is your chance to place orders for new candles for holiday gifting or drop off your refills to enjoy in the coming weeksšŸŽ

Please note: There may be a delay in refill times during the holidays as I take time over break to be with my crew!✨

A HUGE thank you for the candle support this monthšŸ«¶šŸ¼

There’s such beauty in knowing yourself and staying true to it. If this year has taught me anything, it’s to stay open and soft—even when life and circumstances may push you to harden. With that, I’m excited to share a new adventure! This journey wouldn’t be possible without embracing the connections that open doors.

For those who’ve followed along, you know my love for artisan design and creating meaningful spaces that connect us to stories and cultures beyond our own. Last year in Palestine, I met Maura, the owner of Creative Women, while on a UNDP-sponsored buyer trip. Our connection grew over the past year, leading to an incredible opportunity: I’ll be joining Creative Women as the Creative Brand Director and will be traveling to Ethiopia next week to celebrate the brand’s 20th year, as well as product development.

Follow along at as I continue to share my love of handmade goods in a new space. And stick around here for continued stories about artisan craft, travel, DS candles and more!

HišŸ‘‹šŸ½ What started as a candle update (which I am excited to share) has turned into more of a life updatešŸ™ƒ I haven’t posted much on this platform since closing, so I was surprised my little story yesterday got so much love. It’s truly the interactions with so many of you I miss the most about actively running a B+M space (thank you and miss you)šŸ«¶šŸ¼

When closing, I alluded to next steps for DS, which weren’t 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 what’s right in front of me (my humans and furry or feathered petsšŸ˜‚) for what I have deemed a ā€œwellness journey.ā€ It hasn’t 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 kitchenšŸ«¶šŸ¼ Things like making and canning applesauce this week, harvesting our potatoes over the weekend, or batch making pesto from our garden basil… there’s a reason the simple tasks of connecting to the earth and the people who share in the food bring forth steady rhythms of what’s important- the true ingredients of slowing the mind and heart to be open and ready to receive what’s next.

I still believe there’s a continuation to this DS journey… it just hasn’t 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, šŸ¤ 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)šŸ„€

I’m still providing Candle Refill services, so feel free to DM if you would like to get some of your DS candles refilledāœŒšŸ½

sending my love,
