Some Good Ol' Common Scents

Hi There~
www.oldecommoncandles.com
My name is Alyssa and I am the owner of Olde Common Scents, a small garden workshop in Massachusetts where I create soy candles in primitive and cottage designs. Also, on my site, I have an apothecary shoppe where I offer soy liquid soaps and organic Vermont soaps. In addition to my candles and apothecary shoppes, I have a curiosity shoppe. Here you will find primitive and cottage whatnots. I am having a BLAST with my website. I have been making candles for three years. It has taken me two years to perfect my craft (I had my awesome baby boy between that time ;). I wanted to create and sell only the best smelling candles that I possibly could. In addition, I wanted a straight wax burn down the jar, so that wax was not wasted. After testing many scents, waxes, and wicks I finally found all of the players to this musical. I am a candlechemist, or conductor, not sure which!
After three years of wanting my own website I happened upon 2 friends and did not really think twice about choosing them to create my site. They are AWESOME! Or, as we say in MA, "Wicked Awesome!" My site went up just last week and the response has been great. Thanks again 2 Friends! :)
Well, about me...I am a mommy of a 2 year old boy who is just the best thing that has ever happened to me, besides my husband. I am a full time grade three teacher, a children's writer, and sea glass collector. I love starfish and the ocean. I can't get enough salt air.
I just love primitive and cottage design and am so envious of all of your handsewn items, as I cannot sew! You're a talented bunch! Great to join and look forward to chit-chatting.
