Y'ALL HAVE TO SEE THIS! They are even more amazing in person.

These new boutique retirement communities are where it's at! This new development (The Jemison) is in Mountain Brook and we have a local one (The Reserve) as well in the heart of Fairhope.

We hear they both have some great promo items as well 😉. Great to peek at as an option for those you love.

Named in the spirit of connection at the heart of The Jemison, RJ's Bar pairs the polish of a grand hotel lounge with the ease of a private club. It is where members will gather at the close of day for a well-poured drink and better company; the setting where the finest conversations tend to happen.

We were not aware that our website has been experiencing errors showing the new collection the last couple of days, but we have that part fixed. It has also automatically updated and in the process, it became harder to read some parts of the site. We are actively working on it, but just know that you can now get to our From Her Kitchen collection!

LET'S GET REAL POST:

Making the vessels is my least favorite part of the gig. 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️ A good vlog helps me through vessel making days. Right now, we are totally loving the vlogger ALLISON on YT. What vloggers do you love? We need inspo and we love travel vlogs.

BUT back to vessel making...We know it's an important part and it's in our roots and foundation, so it's a love/hate relationship.

Did you know--
Each vessel must be poured, must sit to dry for a day, must be unmolded (this is one of the most difficult parts), must be sanded, must cure for about a week, then comes sealing 3 coats, then it must dry for 3-4 days. THEN...We can finally start gluing wicks and begin the candle making process!

Our most special collection yet, featuring the precious grandmothers of our customers! We are so ready for fall weather and cannot love these more. Be sure to watch the short film that goes with them.

As a bonus when you visit the website, we have some printable images of heirloom handwritten recipes from the grandmothers of so many of our customers. Those can be found on the images of each candle in the collection! I'll drop the direct link in the comments.

If you know or knew any of these women and want to share a story of them here, we'd love to hear!

Because who needs sleep these days? What 11:30 PM looks like right now...And every other hour of the day! Great thing I love what I do.

I will say- I am super ready for this fall collection to launch because double shifts every day is really making a full day off look tempting 🤣🤔🏝️🌊🩵
