It is always good to find sellers who put tremendous effort in the materials they use to get a end product you can be proud of purchasing. Alissia from
Flame Candle Company is one of those sellers. She is new to Etsy, but is finding a niche in the sustainable candles she is making. Here is a little bit about her and her store:
I am a stay-at-home mom. I have one feisty, beautiful, almost-five-year-old daughter. She turns 5 on Christmas day...best Christmas present ever!! I love yoga and am 6 months into a year long yoga teacher training. I am learning so much! I love to garden and arrange flowers. I am passionate about living a holistic lifestyle. I love to cook healthy food and am really into alternative healing methods.
At any given time, I probably have at least 2 or 3 creative projects going on. I love to take pictures. I would consider myself an amateur, but it's so much fun! I make jewelry, for which I started a website and blog. You can check those out at www.kirajoya.com and www.kirajoya.wordpress.com....they are still in progress.
I had an idea for making candles and very recently decided to join Etsy and set up a shop. I wanted to make candles that are not going to throw harmful chemicals into the air. I chose to work with palm wax because I found a source of sustainably harvested, non-genetically modified candle wax. I use essential oils to provide the scent. The health benefits of essential oils are vast. Some of the glass jars I am using are recycled...not all, but I use the ones I can. I am not using dyes to color my candles either, so I thought it might be fun to decorate each individual jar...make each one a little craft project.
That's me and my shop in a nutshell. I'm so happy to be on Etsy. I'm grateful to be a part of a community of artisans that work together and help each other. It's been such a short time, but I already feel at home. Hopefully that is a sign of things to come. Thanks Amy for helping me feel welcome!

Favorite holiday tradition: we started it last year....the night before christmas we (tony, tessa and i) open up pjs we bought for each other and then wear them to bed and while we open gifts the next morning!!
oooh the brown and cream polkadot vanilla peppermint scented candle looks amazing!
every year for Christmas Eve we go on a horse drawn sleigh ride through the lights in a park where we live
Follower - Peppermint candy sounds right up my alley!
On Christmas Eve my Dad's side of the family has always done a big party. Santa (my uncle) and Mrs Claus (my mom) and some elves come by every year to give out gifts. Its always a hit for the kiddies!

Follower...They are all so cute! I love the idea of lavender scents around in the evening. Calm everyone before bedtime!
FB about giveaway week!
Jeff and I started the tradition of opening gifts from and for each other on Christmas Eve after Holland was born. We wanted Christmas morning to be more of a time for the kids and Santa! This way we each have our special time. Now that the kids are growing we allow them each to open one gift on Christmas Eve (we give a couple to choose from). This is a tradition Jeff and I both wished for when we were children!
