Floating candles...

I'm really keen to get some more new products happening in my shop. Especially with christmas coming up it will be good to offer some different products. I have just started experimenting with floating candles and am quite happy with the results so far. I just have to find a way to streamline the process of making them a bit better. This is how they look like so far:





I have to play a bit with the colour, same as with my melts. They will be up very soon as well, i have been playing with them for a while and they are ready to go up. I just want to try some different things with the colour, I hope it will work out.


Busy week so far, doing all sorts of things. And it is COLD again in Melbourne. Sooo annoying, i wish it was back to warm. Apparently, the four-year-old I'm looking after didn't quite understand about daylight savings (the clocks got changed to summer time in Australia on the weekend) and his parents explained to him that it is summer now, that's why the time is being changed. He understood that.


Consequently, he dressed himself in shorts and T-Shirt on Monday morning. Unfortunately, it was about 10 degrees and rain. He is not very impressed with summer this year!


Here is a photo of the new Queen-Anne dressing table for our bedroom. I picked it up at the Camberwell market for a song, such a great find! (please ignore that horrible carpet, one day, when I have my own house I will have beautiful wooden floorboards..:-))
