After making candles for Christmas presents and everyone telling me how much they love them, I haven't stopped.

I love old teacups and candles, so I've combined them into beautiful-smelling goodness for you.

This cup is so sweet, with decorations on the inside too. My cousin found it for me in Waihi. I've filled it with my most popular fragrance - Passionfruit and Rose.

Fruity top notes of Passionfruit and Mandarin dropping into soft mid notes of damask Rose and Tonka Bean

The other one I had sold within minutes at the last market. This is the last one.

$15, let me know if it's yours.

Inspired by Dad and his man flu, I made these powerful candles to clear his nose and stop him complaining.

Full of essential oils: Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender, Juniper Berry, Rosemary, Mentha, Wintergreen. These are really strong so I've made them in a tin, so you can keep a lid on it when it's not needed.

250-gram candle for $22. Send me a message if you would like one ready for when you or your family get sick.

Connect with nature and celebrate Matariki with this NZ Koru Fern candle. It's earthy and smells like walking in the NZ Bush.

I also have wax melts in this fragrance if you just want to test it out.

Candle $15
Melts 4 - $5, 8 - $9, 16 - $16.

Did you know that Piha Beach was recently awarded the "Best Beach in the World" by Big 7? No, I don't know who they are either.

But I do have these candles inspired by this wild, wind-swept surf beach. Top notes of fresh ozoney sea salt. Earthy green woodsy mid notes of flax leaf, Nikau palm, and soft Manuka woodsmoke reminiscent of old school kiwi bbqs and wood smokers.

I also have Wax Melts in this fragrance.

Let me know if you would like to bring a touch of Wild Piha into your home.

$15 each for a candle.
Melts 4 - $5, 8 - $9, 16 - $16.

I have added Soy Melts to my range of fragrant goodies. Use them in your oil burner with a tealight candle or in an electric warmer to infuse your room with a delightful aroma.

You can pick and mix your selection and unlike teacup candles, I can courier these if you don't live close by.

PS They do look good enough to eat, but please don't.

These are the last I have in this pattern cup, which is really pretty. No saucers with this one, but a customer commented that this means they fit on the mantlepiece better.
Available in sweet vanilla so it smells like you have been baking or earthy, fresh NZ Koru, so you can connect with nature and picture yourself walking in the bush.
PM me to purchase for $15 each.

Happy Mother's Day. All mums are awesome, but mine is the best. I hope you had a lovely day.

Did you know I can refill your teacup candle, or a teacup you have hiding unused in the cupboard, or any suitable vessel? PM me or email to arrange. Price depends on volume. I have lots of fragrances to choose from.
