Special Feature Friday: Flora Sense

Edition 45

Another Special Feature Friday on Saturday, my Friday yesterday was so hectic that I never made it to the computer. With Christmas coming closer, the list of things to do becomes longer, but I am sure the list will be empty before Christmas eve!

We will stay on the subject of Christmas one more week, with Flora Sense. Her collection of wreaths and ornaments is perfect to get any house into the holiday spirit. The wreaths are handmade by shop owner Kaleda, using a wonderful selection of natural materials.

These ornaments are made from maple leaves, angel hair and gold colored wire. The natural colors of the leaves and the gold wire make for a beautiful combination.  They come in a set of 3.

This advent wreath in traditional colors is made with wool yarn, different ribbons and decorated with pinecones apples. There is also a small collection of Christmas ornaments to be found. It comes with 4 candle holders. 

The items in Flora Sense will make great gifts as well, and to save time and shipping costs for the buyers Kaleda offers a service where she will ship the item directly to the recipient. It is possible to have a text written on a handmade greeting card! 

Kaleda was very kind to offer the readers of this blog a discount code for her shop: MERRYCHRISTMAS10 will give you a 10% discount.  

This is the last Special Feature Friday of 2014, I would like to wish you all Happy Holidays and a wonderful start of 2015!! I hope to see you back on the 9th of January for the first Special Feature Friday of the year.

Special Feature Friday: Still Water Candles

Edition 44

If you ask me, Candles are essential for the dark days of winter. As many as possible. A couple of nice candles will make a house look more cozy, and heat up the room. With the night setting in as early as it does now, they offer comfort and a sense of calmness. 

Still Water Candles is a shop with a wonderful collection of candles. Most candles come in wonderful scents to brighten up your home. 

A mason jar candle, I really like mason jars in the home as decoration. Some of the scents available for the candles are: Peppermint, Pumpkin Apple Butter, Mulberry, Pear spice and Cookie cottage.Not sure wich scent is best for you? it is possible to order a sample strip, so you can have a smell before ordering! 

Of course, there are also candles for those who prefer their candles unscented. This cinnamon candle looks good, and comes without scent. Perfect for those who are sensitive for scented candles.

Besides candles for the holiday's, Still Water Candles also offers a great assortiment for weddings, in the shape of unity candles, and candles perfect for a wedding reception.

Special Feature Friday: Forest Candle Studio

Edition 19

This week I would like to put the spotlights on a shop called Forest Candle Studio.

In this shop we can find wonderful handmade candles, in designs that are beautiful and special.

These candles breath an atmosphere of luxury, romance and tenderness. 

The handcrafted candles are made from beeswax by the shop owner, Marcie. Judging by the pictures we can see that a lot of time goes into crafting these candles, they are made with a lot of care and detail. The candles are decorated with whole roses, rose petals and leaves, organic spices, lavender, paints, glitters, ribbons and so forth. Some of the candles are made with a special stone base that comes with the candle, making it even more easy to get the rustic look from the pictures right into your own home!

These candles can be used for the wedding ceremony as a unity candle set, the details on the candles like the ribbons can be personalized to fit with your wedding theme and colors. The wax of the candles can also be adapted to fit to your wishes. The candles will make for a unique and romantic addition to your ceremony. Because these are handmade there are never 2 candles that will look exactly the same. Which is of course the reason why handmade items are so attractive. 

These candles will make great engagement gifts or will look lovely in your home during holidays or religious festivals. But in all honesty I must say, do we really need a special holiday or festival to have one of these candles in our home? I think they will look gorgeous at any time of the year. Whether they are lighted or not, they remain a beautiful piece of art!

Marcy has been so kind  to offer the readers of this blog a 10% Etsy discount code, the code is valid until the 21st of March 2014: ISHJEBLOG2014
