Todays been a day of rain & restocks! ⛈️

A massive thank you to Frances M Creative & Ben from Once Upon a Spoon for braving the awful weather to come and restock their shelves in time for the busy half term rush.

We love the new highland cow from Frances and check out those gorgeous spoon bracelets too.

Hello lovely new scent!

Introducing Wild Fig & Cassis

We originally made a batch of these for a commission but we couldnt stop thinking about the gorgeous smell, so we've added them to our regulars.

A juicy sweet burst of fragrance with notes of fig, blackcurrant, cherry and patchouli mixed with natural soy wax for a 30 hour burn.

These will be ready in the shop from tomorrow (Thursday)

Come and give them a sniff test and let us know what you think.

Thoroughly looking forward to this 🎄

Last, but certainly not least it's candle maker extraordinaire's 🤭😏 - trader #28 - Tide & Flame

As well as hosting markets for over 3 years now, I also run my other business Tide & Flame, with my candle partner in crime, Liz.

From the workbench of our very own shop by the sea we make small batch, soy wax candles and other home fragrance products.

All of our candles and wax melts are made with the best quality 100% soy wax from the UK. We then mix with blends of fragrance oils and essential oils until we perfect our scents.

All of our products are cruelty free, vegan friendly and contain no phtalates or parabens.

We also support and showcase the work from over 70 local Cornish makers in our shop.

Our favourite scents?

I love Honey Smoke - a warm cosy blend of rich honey, sandalwood & tonka bean, while Liz prefers the crisp, refreshing scent of Seasalt & Driftwood.

Our workspace at the moment smells of cinnamon & cloves as we're stocking up our best selling Christmas Baking candle.

Candles are such a perfect gift for Christmas and we hope to see you at this magical market.

You can find all of our traders at The St Ives Christmas Market, St John's in the Field Church.

Please say a big welcome to the shop to new maker Emma Hundleby.

We love Emmas use of bright colours in her work. From her quirky paper earrings to her handprinted lampshades and lavender bags, we know our customers are going to love Emma's work as much as we do.
