The sun will come out..... tommorrow
I have been waking up everyday thinking maybe I was transported to England or Seattle or something.
So maybe if we pay homage to the sun it will shine brightly on us once again.
I tried to find a prayer to the sun god, but they seemed a little bit over the top.
So instead, I'm just going to say.
Sun, please come out, shine again, we miss you, we need you. Hope to see you soon!
Congratulations to our 3 lucky winners in our April Giveaway!

From the Candle Kitchen...
Photo 1 is Red Velvet Cupcakes, Photo 2 is Psycho Circus Cupcakes, Photo 3 is Black & White Cupcakes.
The store has been pretty busy this week and I have been making all sorts of favors as well. Sure keeping me hopping! And I’m getting a bunch of stuff ready to bring with me to the Lakewood Chamber Staff Appreciation Lunch next Tuesday. They let me set up a table and hock my wares so to speak. Its really fun, I did it last year for the first time.

Watch out for April 1st, Don’t be a fool!
Remember I make better candles than I take pictures, and these have quite a glare on them. Sorry! You can always come by the store for a better look!
My friend Michele from Life, Lightly Salted stopped by on Sunday with the most delicious cupcakes ever!
Raspberry Lemonade Cucpakes.. mmmmmmmmmmm I stole her picture so you can see them but if you want the recipe you have to go visit her site www.LifelightlySalted.com for it! I must say, she is a pretty darn good cook! Everything she makes for me is awesome.
Anyway, we are working together on some new yummy smelling cupcake candles, along with the delicious recipes for the real thing. I already have 3 new cupcakes in development and now with the addition of the raspberry lemonade cupcake that makes 4. I finally finished my first batch of the Red Velvet Cupcakes. Not bad for my first try. The pics came out bad so I have to retake them. So you will just have to wait to see them until next time!
Hubby and I are also very excited about a new product line that we will be bringing into the store… we aren’t ready to spill the beans, just yet though. (hint, hint) But we will be making the announcement soon.

Soap & Cupcakes...
Got home from the store today to find some goodies that I bought from Pixie Soap. I found them last Saturday while looking for their Saturday night secret on Etsy. I couldn’t find their secret but I found some soap I liked a pumpkin soap and an Oat’s gone wild soap.
For those who don’t know, I have a very serious soap addiction! I have a stock pile of handmade soap bars. I cant help myself! I know I needed two more bars of soap like I need a hole in my head, but I just had to do it! They smell so good I cant wait to use them. I also got a vanilla chap stick. Another one of my addictions, but I will save that for another day!
Surprisingly enough, I’m not in a panic over the window for April. I pretty much have it all down and ready to go maybe this weekend or Monday. Sooner the better because I’m sick of looking at the gigantic rainbow! One of my goals this week was to create 3 new cupcake candles. I know what they are going to be but I haven’t had any extra time to whip them up. I have the bases for the Red Velvet Cupcakes ready, I just need to make the tops now. So that goals getting moved to next week! Ugh! I think I might need to pick one more red velvet cupcake over at my favorite Cameo Bakery on Rt. 71 for inspiration. Ok, perhaps that’s just an excuse to get the cupcake so I can eat it. I have eaten 3 already, but hey its research right? RIGHT??
See the yummy pic of what a real one looks like, well that's what I'm trying to duplicate, but with wax....
Well im off to relax now. I just wanted to check in with a post since it has been a little bit since the last one.

There really is a pot of gold at the end of my rainbow...
Yes, as promised here is photo of the window. Not much to look at though. It’s a big giant rainbow complete with a big pot of gold at the end. Im still cleaning up glitter! Ugh!
I have some ideas for the April window already, so that’s a start. You would think that after 2 years of doing this window I would get good at it! Fat Chance!
Congratulations to our 3 $20 gift certificate winners in our Feb. giveaway.

Our March scent of the month “Lighthouse” has been a huge hit! This is a brand new scent and its growing in popularity quickly! I can’t make it fast enough! And I finally have my bright yellow candle like I always wanted. No, lemonade stand doesn’t count because that’s a seasonal scent. I expect Lighthouse to be a hit year round like Summer at the Shore and Surfs Up!
