A part of France in a jar

I've succumbed to temptation and bought myself another Glasshouse candle. The last one I got was Strasbourg which has an apple and cinnamon fragrance. This time I just had to get Bordeaux. It's filled with the smell of vanilla cream, hazelnut, and dark chocolate! How divine, and it smells good enough to eat!!

Glasshouse - Bordeaux candle

Also in the range is a hand and body creme which I got as well. It smells just as good as the candle and doesn't leave your skin with that greasy feeling.

So indulgent, but a girl's gotta be every now and then. :)

On my needlework - I haven't started anything new, but have something in mind to do next. I'll let you know about it in my next post. Thank you also for all your kind comments on The Rain Fell. I'm glad you liked the extra touches I added to it. :)

Have a wonderful weekend with needle in hand!

Apple & Cinnamon

Yesterday I went shopping for my Dad's birthday present. I found a lovely potted arrangement of blue and white flowered plants in a terra cotta pot. I also found something for myself. :)

It's the most gorgeous scented candle in an apple and cinnamon aroma. They're Australian made and are supposed to last 100 hours. The brand is Glasshouse Candles, they have numerous candles in different scents, and the one I chose is called Strasbourg. It has that wonderful country smell of freshly baked apple and cinnamon. I had it burning last night and the aroma was just divine.

Now I know you can get similar candles in the US. Yankee Candle comes to mind, and I just adore their range of goods, but to find something similar here is wonderful.

I'm finding it hard to get into a stitching groove since the weather here has turned cooler and the daylight hours shorter. It's not really motivating me. I'm feeling more tired when I get home from work each night, and the weekends have been fairly full lately. So I'm sorry I have no progress to show.

Last week though I was given another award, this time from Zetor. It was so unexpected and I thank her very much for it.

I'd like to pass it on to:

Be sure to drop by these wonderful blogs and enjoy some stitching time with them.

I do find it difficult to select people for these awards, so I have tried to choose new ones this time that I may not have selected before. Everyone is deserving though and please do not feel left out if your name is not shown.

Happy stitching!
