brb. making candles!

apologies for the radio silence, the shop got a little makeover last week (i added a couple of shelves) so i've been busy trying to populate them with some nice things to smell.

hope to see you soon! :)

We’ve just taken delivery of some gorgeous pieces from Allison Riddell Art (the local artist behind our Dornoch Cathedral Candle). Call into our Dornoch shop to be among the first to get your hands on these - mugs, tote bags, magnets and coasters with the thistle design plus some stunning prints of local views.

brora's new community market is back tomorrow! swipe to see a selection of what you could find!

i'll be there along with some other talented small makers and crafters.

it's situated in the witches kist carpark, right on the a9 from 11am - 3pm, so if you are travelling through the town, come and say hello :)

some projects deserve a little more time.

after a successful soft-launch and trial last month, i'm really pleased to finally share the finalised cathedral green candle, now complete with its new box.

created in collaboration with local artist , this piece features her beautiful painting of dornoch cathedral wrapped around both the candle and its presentation box.

from the beginning, i wanted this to be more than just another scent. i wanted it to celebrate one of dornoch's most recognisable landmarks while showcasing the work of another local creative.

scented with warm notes of amber, saffron & cedarwood, every candle is hand poured here in my workshop in dornoch and individually signed by both allison and myself.

it's now available both online and in the shop , pop in and see it for yourself!

i hope you love it as much as we loved creating it :)
