Y-U-M !



This delicious candle is currently filling my house with the mouth-watering aroma of warm sticky caramel and juicy sweet Macintosh apples. Apple picking is one of my absolute favorite activities to do in the fall! There are always plenty of apple crisps, baked apples, and caramel apples to be made!


I have been trying out these wood wicks with my candles lately and have fallen in l.o.v.e with them! The wicks crackle softly when first lit--just like a fireplace...every time you light them! Now, if that's not complete bliss...I don't know what is. Best of all--they're made out of recycled wood. Perfect.

The Fun Begins ...

My first collection of handbags & accessories--The Pink & Paisley! I love the hint of vintage that comes with paisley patterns. The embellishments for this handbag give it Victorian yet modern & classy flair! So cute!



A preview of some embellishments I use to sass up my candle line! Bet you can't wait to see some finished product pictures!!



This week I received some sample labels in the mail for my candles. Talk about a kid in a candy store! So many choices & designs--how to choose!?

Hello & Welcome!

Well, here's your sneak peak! This is the brand spanking new home of Embellish'd Candle & Gift Co.! I hope you'll enjoy my newest pursuit as much as I do--and give these candles & gifts a try! I hand-pour incredibly luscious smelling all natural, clean burning soybean candles that come in various styles of jars finished off with my own personal touch--assorted embellishments that give these candles personality! If you're like me, you want a candle with impressive, everlasting scent that fills your home for hours on end--whether it's burning or not! That's what I strive for--a candle with superb scent throw that is as natural and renewable as they come--and only top-notch quality ingredients will deliver candles like these! I use only soy wax, as this benefits not only the environment, but our American farmers, too! And who wouldn't want a candle that's attractive and pleasing to the eye ... or, what I like to call--"Embellish'd" a bit! Stay tuned for candle pictures and descriptions of the superior fragrances coming soon!

I'm in the early stages of my home-based candle and specialty gifts endeavor, so I'm up to my eyeballs in ideas for creative and unique products that I can't wait to share! I'm passionate about the art of hand-crafting
--especially candles! I have so much to share--I can barely contain myself! I'm excited to create, decorate, and share my candles and gifts with others! In case you're wondering what kind of specialty gifts I have in store--think handbags & accessories, aprons & kitchen linens, window coverings & other home decor, and an all-natural body care product line complete with walnut shell & shea butter exfoliating bars and soo much more! Are you getting excited, or what?! I know I am!

Remember, this is a brand spankin' new site ... a work in progress! Stay tuned ... and thanks for visiting!!
