4x4 Wrapped Beeswax Candles

These are huge candles with a very large flame. Wrapped candles burn bright and beeswax is infamous for being long lasting. They measure 4 inches wide by 4 inches tall, and are of course hypoallergenic. It's just the all natural scent of beeswax here, but they do have a very, very subtle sweet smell.

Hand made with lots of care. Try something new. Treat yourself. Be luxurious.

Here Comes the Sun.

The walls in the bedroom on the second floor of the barn are white. I usually like a nice tan or a cream color. But the light pours in upstairs and the white walls make the room too inviting. The room is awake and alive and the sun too nice to allow going back to sleep. Even when it's cold.

I've been enjoying getting up to a light, bright sun poured bedroom. Wasn't it Joni Mitchell who said, "And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my sense." That sounds about right.

My New Post Office

I don't have a mailbox at the end of my drive anymore. I now have a P.O. Box Number, and I go and drop off my parcels and pick up our mail nearly everyday at the post office. A kind, tall man named George, who seems to know everyone and their phone numbers by heart, greets me with a smile every time. He's probably lived on the Cape all of his life. But then, who knows.

There's a dog there that naps a couple of feet away from the front door. He's a nice mannered, laid back Border Collie looking beautiful guy. I'll take a picture of him and upload it. I wonder what his name is...

Large Weave Burlap Tote Bag.

Have you seen my new Tote Bag? It's a large weave Burlap Tote that measures 17"high and 20"wide. The burlap handles are about 10" high.

There's no lining and no fuss. It's rustic with no frills. It's airy and large inside with a convenient large pocket on the outside. I've used large stitches on this big bag to accentuate it's simple boldness and rustic feel.

I love the all naturalness of this big, open weave fabric.
Perfect for the beach, market or for everyday use.

Have a look HERE.

Cheers,

Hi. It's Been A While.

It's been more than a month since I've touched base with you. Sandstone Coast, as well as my family, have made big changes. We finally made the move to Cape Cod for good.  All the little shops and beaches, charming Cape towns and wonderful people are now all right here. No more packing the car for the short drive down 495 and across the Bourne Bridge, and then home again at the end of the day. Now, we're already here. We're home. :)

My husband and I, along with our two golden retrievers live in a converted barn with a porch downstairs and a balcony upstairs. Our view? Horses. We're just a couple of miles from the sea and right next door to a patch of land with two gorgeous horses. We've become fast friends.

I hope you'll continue to come and visit me here. I have some new things in the shop I'd like to share with you, and of course I love sharing Cape Cod and home decor photos that inspire me.

Cheers to you and Happy New Year. May it be our best!
See you soon.

'Tis the Season

It's been a very busy holiday season. I've been filling orders into the wee hours of the night and have wrapped and sent gifts for people all over the world this year for Christmas. I haven't posted as often as I'd like lately, but I check in on the blog regularly. Please keep checking in with me. I so enjoy seeing you here.

Peace.

The Lamp Shade

I love lamps. I love lampshades. I love searching for that perfect combo that will make the room, or a corner of the room perfect. The warm light brightens everything and warms the heart. It does mine, anyway.

The bottom shade is made with Burlap, which of course I love.

Seasons Greetings All,

Still Working with Burlap

I love the open weave of this hearty textile.

Entering Bourne, MA

The Town of Bourne is the gateway to Cape Cod. You have to pass through the town to get over the Cape Cod Canal and to anywhere else on the Cape. The Cape Cod canal bisects the community, with both the Bourne and the Sagamore Bridges, as well as the Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge, being the only means to cross the Canal, unless you're traveling by boat of course. 

The Canal is world renowned for it's sport fishing, scenic vistas, relaxing bike rides and walking routes. And for carrying vessels of all sizes, flying the flags of all nations. The Ships and Tug Boats that move along the Canal are a sight to see. 

Cheers to Bourne! One of my favorite places.
