Candles Love Soy!

As I sit here and type this I’m still trying to recover from our trip last weekend to West Hollywood for Green With Pride.  Think High Energy, Celebrity, Green & Eco Friendly & did I mention High Energy? Green With Pride is an eco-friendly marketplace inside LAPride & San Diego Pride. The crowd was amazing , over 100,000 Pride attendee’s strolled past our booth - there was even an autograph signing and live performance by Deborah Cox, the Green With Pride Official Spokesperson! So you can’t see her in this pic - she’s hidden behind the camera man.  Deborah is a very warm & concerned person, you can learn more about her and listen to her music here.

Our new H.O.P.E. and D.R.E.A.M. collection was even more popular than anticipated! Thanks everyone for stopping by - we really enjoyed seeing your reactions to our candles & fragrances (overwhelming response by the way is “WOW! - these smell sooo good!”). We smiled & waved, danced a little bit. Met quite a few loyal Caterpillars Candle user’s and introduced many newbies to our fantastic aroma’s. We met other wonderful green company’s like Reusniks reusable dry cleaning bag’s Clear20, the gal’s over at Method were fun & wonderful and be sure to check out Green And Greener, a local LA green store. We can’t wait to meet even more Eco-Friendly Candle fan’s in San Diego July 19th-20th.

As many of you may know, we are a family owned and run business.  Two generations help keep this business going, including my mom and dad.

My dad passed away unexpectedly Sunday night.  While we recognize that there are orders waiting to be finished, however we are all currently tending to the matters in preparation for a memorial service.  In an effort to ensure the level of service that we pride ourselves on, we believe it is in all our best interests to halt candle production at this time allowing us to focus on our family matters, and return to our customers when we are done.

Please accept my apology if your order is delayed.  We hope to re-open starting Wednesday April 8th.

Thank you for your understanding and for all of your kind words..

For anyone who knew my dad, Jim Anderson, his service will be held Saturday April 4th at 1pm at the Jaezen & Yaeger Funeral Home off of Pines, in the Spokane Valley.

Here it is again! Your chance to win an elegant, 26oz Soy Candle, scented as Hummingbird Whispers.

Hummingbird Whispers can be described a fruity, floral blend where the top is clean and fresh with notes of peach, apple and leafy greens. The heart blends jasmine, fresh mountain air, ferns, lavender, rose and lily. The base is cashmere and sandalwood. To me, upon first whiff, this smells a lot like chardonnay, it get’s a lot more muskier and yet fruity while burning. It’s very complex and a definite must have in your candle collection.

My dream home is a dome home.. I just love how energy efficient they are, the curves inside, the light reflections..and they are affordable! I thought that was what I wanted…until now.  Watch the video’s below about earthships..they are pretty amazing! If communities all across this great nation and around the world would build these types of homes, think about the positive impact that would have on our environment!!
