It is an amazing process, candlemaking, and visually captivating. Here is a behind the scenes look at the production of the Soy Votives. With the orders from the special June promotion for the Soy Votive Refills rolling in, the candlemakers will be busy making these lolly-like sweet treats. 
Candlemaker Ngaire testing a new fragrance . It was freezing in the Factory this morning when I took this picture! Ngaire is also working on colour recipes – top secret until the August Gift Fair . The blend of colour, fragrance, wax and wick has to be extensively tested, as every factor affects the finished product. Some fragrances totally change the colour , and then some waxes make the fragrance smell quite different.Some fragrances even affect the way the wick burns. Candlemaking is definitely not a simple process!
One of our latest additions , the Soy Votives are part of the gorgeous new Soy Aroma range. To promote these lovely Votives, we are offering a special deal on the display package of 9 Soy Votive Refills in a Glass Lantern with a matching label. Each Votive burns for 15 hours. Votives make the perfect gift; Traditionally used as a special offering candle or to express thanks.

Snow is dusting the mountains already here, beautiful crisp Autumn days turn into chilly nights…and we get our fires going in an instant with these Fire Starters. Made out of recycled wax – the boxes that we fill up from scraping off our tables after each batch of candles get poured into the vat and turned this gorgeous red colour. Chopped up straw is added to the mix. Makes lighting the fire fun – just break off a few small pieces and place them amongst the paper and kindling – away it goes!
