Summer Candles for Beltway Vintage

I always love a collaboration, especially when it's with Lisa of Beltway Vintage. When she goes hunting for amazing vintage clothes, she also picks up some vintage containers for me to fill with soy candle goodness. These babies are ripe for the summer pickin', scented with grapefruit and citronella - perfect warm weather fun.

New Stockist: Willow Street Yoga

This year, I took up a work-study position at Willow Street Yoga where I work their front desk in exchange for yoga classes. Can I just say- BEST TRADE EVER! Especially for someone like me who rarely leaves the house or gets to interact with real people during work hours. Just those fake people on Twitter (jkjk!), so this was a golden opportunity for me to get dressed, get out of the house and clear my head from my work for a little bit.

At WSY I get to hang out with super cool people, get to meet the people of my neighborhood and do cool things like wrap books for display props.

They were interested in carrying my candles there, but were looking for something a little different. So for WSY, you can find my holiday scented candles in tins, wrapped in the pages of the Bhagavad-Gita. Just perfectly appropriate and literally no where else will you find these babies.

So for all the yogis in your life - be sure to stop by Willow Street Yoga in Takoma Park or Silver Spring before these candles sell out!

Candles for Beltway Vintage

This past week was full of special projects. One of my favorite by far were some soy candles in vintage containers for Beltway Vintage at Analog! 

Yes, old glass teacups filled with cinnamon orange clove goodness and vintage Noxema containers filled with lavender vanilla!

Plus I got to pop-up in there on Saturday. I've been there twice in the last week and come out with three new things - a new (to me) vintage wool dress coat, a new (to me) vintage silk Liz Claiborne dress and a new Marion Barry print (Mayor4Life). That place is where my impulse buying goes to thrive. Fotos coming soon of these amazing purchases.

I also made them some vintage paper matchbooks with some of Melissa of Craftgasm's paper scraps - I love the ledger paper!

And for the holidays, you can shop my soy candles in tins there as well! Covered in the pages of Pride and Prejudice. A perfect holiday gift for your Jane Austen friends. 

A Luri and Wilma Photoshoot

Last Sunday I got to model again for Luri and Wilma - the best magazine for smart ladies - in the most amazing apartment that I've ever been in. I'm not going to spoil the shoot for the magazine which will come out in a few weeks in their holiday issue, but here a few close up, non-revealing shots from that day. Oh and look out for my socks and candles that make a special appearance in this shoot!

And yes, we listened to holiday music all day. Pre-order your issue today!
