Smell Good Tuesday Giveaway {Holiday Giveaway Day 2}

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!
