RECYCLED WINE BOTTLE CANDLES:



To say that my husband and I like to drink wine is an understatement!  We love to visit the wineries around the area of our cabin and in Western North Carolina.  One of the places that we love more than anything is a little boutique winery about 12 minutes from our cabin called Silver Fork Winery.



The views are amazing from this little winery.  So with all of the wine we are drinking, and our friends are drinking as well, we have been saving the bottles and have started making crafts with them. Dave has learned to cut the glass bottles and we are making several different kinds of crafts with them.

The first item that we are making is the recycled wine bottle candle.  We have three difference scents at this time:  Christmas Cottage, White Zinfandel, and Tuscan Wine.  We will be adding Lemon Verbena and Gardenia this Spring.  If there are other scents that you would love to have, we can add those as well.  Just email me and let me know.

The candles are 100% soy with essential oil scents.  We label the jar and wrap twine around it for decoration,  The candle is then placed in a burlap bag with a wooden tag so that you have a nice gift to send to someone.

The candles are priced at $19.95 a piece.  There is an extra fee to ship that will be determined by location.  Purchasing in quantity will save you 10 - 15% off the price of the candles.

These candles will burn a long time and the fragrance is amazing!  We know you will enjoy them.

Hugs, Meg

Trip to North Myrtle Beach

Image
 Well, it has been a bit since I posted.  I needed to go to Raleigh to see my dad for his 84th birthday and to check in on my mom.  I stayed at my daughter’s house, which is being remodeled.  All three bathrooms were demoed and being worked on so we stayed in a hotel.   We then left for North Myrtle Beach where my husband and a bunch of his family from Nebraska met us.  We had a wonderful time with family.  Checked on our beach house that we rent (if you want to check it out visit www.aarrgghhspot.com). Here is a pic my nephew took on our street.   We went to some great restaurants down there and to the beach.  Here is a family photo we took of all of us. And then just the three of us.  I am not good with selfies, but this wasn’t too bad. It was good to be back home! Next trip I go on is back to Raleigh mid-July to see parents, friends, and several doctor appointments.   Until next time. Hugs, Meg

Retirement

Image
 I have not been able to post in a very long time.  I really worked hard through COVID and after.  In fact, work and family issues took over my life the last few years and I wasn’t able to craft much at all.  Crafting  has always been my stress-relief so I have really missed it.   May 1st I retired from my job and we moved to our mountain cabin in Western North Carolina.  I spent the month of May unpacking, organizing, etc.  Now I am ready to craft and blog again.  Retirement is going to be great!  I love living in Western NC - love the wildlife, slower pace, and the friends I am making.  However, I miss being close to my daughter.  I will see her about once a month though so happy about that.   The other morning and I was thinking how blessed I am to be able to do this, while I was sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee, a book and the birds eating at the feeder.  I will let you know about the books I read a...

Hygge

Image
 I have been learning about Hygge (pronounced Hoo-ga) over the last few years.  Initially I learned about this Scandinavian concept through a magazine subscription that I adore - Stampington’s Bella Grace, then through the Bella Grace Field Guide.  The concept is now transferring to my everyday life and journaling. Hygge describes a send of coziness, togetherness, and wellness.  Hygge cannot be bought, it is more an experience and giving yourself permission to be more mindful of what coziness means to you.   When I think of coziness, I think of the cabin where I am now privileged to live full-time in my retirement.  Moving here has made me appreciate the simpler things of life.  Hygge to me can be simply being in my PJs, wrapping up in a soft blanket outside by a fire pit, reading a good book on a rainy day, snuggling with my boxers on the couch, a cup of tea while I journal, watching the birds at the feeder when I drink my coffee in the morning…….
