Floral Fancies

This is the third article I created to share today friends - I was hoping to share a post about last week’s visit to the Met with my sister but, realized I didn’t have the amount of time needed to craft it properly. The Met is my second favorite place on earth (behind the Chalet) and I would never rush through a piece about this magical slice of heaven! Next as many are aware from Instagram and my private Facebook page I’ve been busy helping out with a petition asking our Mayor and Council to develop an alternative plan for our municipal complex. Currently the plan is to demo both our locally land-marked 1917 Carnegie Library and our WPA Borough Hall.

In the midst of all this and the world - I decided the best thing I could share is beauty. I’ve gathered my own images and those of friends and creatives who inspire me. Click image for source. Enjoy!

Here are a few of my very own floral images. I always have fresh flowers in the Chalet so I could totally put a post together with nothing but, my own images but, what would be the fun in that?!?

Otherland Candle Company

Friends in January I was given a sneak peek of the Spring Awakening Collection from Otherland Candle Co. And even though it’s not feeling very spring like yet here in New Jersey I wanted to share a bit about the collection with all of you.

The collection includes 3 candles. Purple Petals, Extra Hour & Ruby Root.
I’ve lit them all and they are truly fab!

  • 🌸 Purple Petals: Lilac, Hyacinth, Lychee⁠⁠

  • 🌿 Extra Hour: Shiso Leaf, Verbena, Mint

  • 🥕 Ruby Root: Sugarbeets, Grass, Ginger⁠⁠

I nearly lost my mind when with their amazing packaging! Every Candle Collection ships in a fully protected magnet closed box… inside you’ll find a lovely lid with a box of Overland Matches.

Safe Ingredients:

  • No Parabens

  • No Phthalates

  • No Sulfates

  • No Synthetic Dyes

  • Cruelty Free

  • Cotton Wick

I am thrilled to include Overland as a source for wonderful candles not only for the Chalet but, for gifts as well. Til next time be well!
