If you haven’t guessed already, Gussy loves candles! And, what is also equally amazing is that I’ve gotten hubbs to love them, too ;)

Shhhh… Don’t tell him.

I heart that the above candles are made from recycled jars. And cups. And little bowls. So wonderful.

Do you use candles?
How often?

I swear, I would light one for every room in apartment.

So that would be seven rooms. If you were curious.

Do you light them when you want to relax? When you need to clear the stink from your kitchen? {Not that you make your kitchen stink…}

My favorite right now is a Lavender/Cedarwood candle from CVS drugstore. It is amazing. If you live near the store I urge you to check it out and give it a whiff.

You’ll love it.
It’s manly and smells soooooooo good :)

We’ve got a couple great things going on right now.

Let Gussy tell you…

-The big Gussy Giveaway is at 131 comments! I’m so happy to include two items this time around. To enter if you haven’t already, click here. Winners will be dawn Sunday night and revealed Monday morning!

-Equally exciting is that Gussy is on MckMama’s giveaway blog, found here. The winner will receive $30 credit to my Etsy store. I’m not sure when this giveaway ends, so act fast!

-Remember, FREE shipping…

-Remember I love to talk and if you email me I WILL WRITE BACK! Just ask Kelly, Jacky and Meg. We’ve had some great recent chats.

-Went to an Etsy event last night here in Minneapolis. I met the CEO of Etsy, Maria, and received some great ideas and tips for selling.

-Also… my haircut scheduled for yesterday afternoon fell through :(
If anyone knows of a great salon in Minneapolis please share it with me.
Please?!

-I must stop typing.

xo.
