It's the simple things....

As we head ever closer to Christmas our already busy lives get even more hectic....

So why not slow things down and take the time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

William H Davies portrays this in his poem Leisure

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Make time for a walk in the countryside it can lift your spirits....

certainly works for me!

Cashmere & Satin Mist

I am frequently asked to describe the aroma of my Cashmere and Satin Mist candle and the best way I can do this is to say that the Cashmere softly caresses you and the Satin sensually awakens your senses..... 

Really the combination of Moroccan jasmine, Lilly of the valley, bergamot and the warm undertones of sandalwood, amber and musk gently work their magic to create the sheer floral scent of the fabulous Cashmere and Satin Mist.

As always the candles are available in large, medium, small and tea lights.

The delicious sweet fragrance of juicy black raspberries from the Autumn hedgerow and creamy smooth vanilla is proving very popular throughout the whole year..

It's almost good enough to eat!

Feeling very calm and relaxed this morning as I am working with the gorgeous Amber and Lavender fragrance..... bliss!

Available in large, medium, small and tea lights. 

The perfect fragrance to burn whilst relaxing in a warm bath surrounded by soothing bubbles...

Remember to extinguish the candle when you leave the bathroom!
