Aren’t you glad you’ve rung in the new – either watching fireworks, toasting with friends, snoring at home, or however you make the transition to the New Year? Aren’t you glad to see 2011 pass by? Are you hopeful about 2012? 
It’s still winter, the next month or two means plenty of snow for some, damp cold winds for others, and, for a few lucky few that we know, warm balmy breezes in other parts of the world. Candles can help the darkness seem a bit more friendly. They are simply delicious to have around the bathtub, or decorating a special dinner table. There are some great candles here on Whidbey Island – we have lavender scented candles in several forms, votives, perfect gift boxes of four votives packed in lavender, cute little tins, and in hurricane glass containers in two sizes. Our friends at Chocolate Flower Farm have chocolate candles. Pretty nice, eh?
