Hey, boo! A whole lotta ghosties will be available at upcoming shows. Each ghostie is one of a kind - I rarely make duplicates, unless it’s the traditional white ghost. πŸ‘» οΏΌ
Custom ghostie designs/colors available - generally at no extra cost, unless you want something super extra. πŸ˜‰

These cuties are all $15 each, the more basic ghosties are in the $10-12 range.

Working on gift baskets for an upcoming fundraiser. The baskets were too small and the cellophane bags are gigantic. I have awesome measuring skills. 😁

My favorite thing about the mug candles - when they’re done burning, all they need is a good scrub, and they’re ready for your favorite brew. β˜•οΈ 😌
