Thank you, California, for a warm welcome to the California Gift Show! I was in the LA Mart/Beckman's West division and the response was wonderful! So many retailers are switching from synthetic fragrance and petroleum based candles.....it is wonderful! Not only am I excited that business is booming, but I am so glad that more non-renewable resources are being saved and less toxins will be filling the air! A great big thanks to my new clients! You can now find my 100% natural soy candles (for real 100%, not 100% soy and then added toxic fragrance like most candles! |

Thanks to product placement in season 2 of Portlandia, I was honored to be able to attend the premier last night. It was fun to see my company up on the screen, visit with the actors and get a sneek peak of the season. But alas, despite a free flowing, hosted bar and ample food, I couldn't wait to get back home to kiss my children goodnight and cuddle up in my warm bed! |

How exciting it is to see my candles on other websites, in catalogs and in stores! Even more exciting is the fact that people are converting to sustainable, petroleum free, foreign material free, synthetic fragrance free candles! I want the world to be healthy for a very long time. Just thinking about the here and now doesn't work for me, especially since I have children so everyday I am reminded of what the future may bring. I know that candles are just a little start, but how wonderful it would be if everything were sustainable and not petroleum based and full of toxins? |

NEW PRODUCT Trial SALE!!  We now have flameless candles! Just place your highly scented (with essential oils and botanicals) soy, wickless candle on the warmer and enjoy fire-free. healthy fragrance throughout your home or business for at least 2 months! I love this flameless candle! Because flames in candles burn hotter than the warmer, the scent lasts longer and is more true to form. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a warmer that is both economical and Made in the U. |

Don't forget! Tomorrow is First Friday @ Milepost 5!! Come enjoy the festivities as artists throughout the complex open up their studios and let strangers in. Everyone is welcome and the retail shops (including mine, JUST THE GOOD STUFF), will often have sales and workshops, while the artists throughout the complex dull out treats and love to talk about their work. E.A.T. will most likely have a band playing on their stage and will, ofcourse, be serving their out-of-this-world food. |

So, at my store's Grand Opening the Mayor, Sam Adams, came in and said, "This is the best smelling store in Portland!". Well, he is right about that one! The Grand Opening of JUST THE GOOD STUFF @ Milepost 5 (NE 82nd, just N. of Glisan) was a lot of fun. Many wonderful people came in, browsed, oohed and aahhed & bought organic fragrance for their home & body. If you have the chance to stop by, I also have a collection of upcycled home & garden art (tiki torches, hummingbird feeders, garden art), handmade chocolates, hand painted glassware, fused glass, jewelry, pottery faces made by my son, greeting cards and whimsies. I hope to see you there! |

Wanted to let everyone know to check back soon for my new WICKLESS massage candles and Aromatherapy Candles. You just place the elegant, wickless, soy candle on a warming plate and as it heats up, the organic aroma wafts throughout the rooms. The massage candle is then at the ready for impromptu massages rather than having to light it and wait for the "wax" pool to develop. You can keep your "candle" going throughout the day with no flame. Cool huh? |

I am jazzed! Now you can buy my highly sought after candles at my little boutique in Milepost 5. Located just N. of Glisan on NE 82nd Ave., and across from the community center park, Milepost 5 is a live/work community with a fab restaurant E.A.T. (eat, art, theater), a gallery, free community activities and concerts, and various shops. My shop, JUST THE GOOD STUFF, located next to the restrooms in the hallway by the restaurant, will be loaded with my candles, melts, and body products, as well as upcycled items for the home and garden and necessary treats (caramel corn and chocolates for starters). Official opening will be March 18th, with the Grand Opening Ceremony April 8th. The complex grand opening extends throughout the weekend with free activities, music, a ribbon cutting ceremony by the mayor, and much more. I will be giving out FREE samples of sweet w/ heat caramel corn and lip balm. Hope to see you there! |
