Milly Pom Available at The Forks!

3 Dec

Hello all!

I have some good news! Milly Pom candles will be available at the new store at The Forks called Generation Green. These candles will be soy wax, reusing existing vessels (as always – such as old glasses and candy dishes) and will be scented using 100% essential oils. The numbers are limited, because I have a day job and the candle business, although fun, isn’t lucrative. So get down to The Forks while they’re available!

I also have a new a crazy idea to tell you about. I plan on making candles out of the remnants of old candles. So instead of the wax getting thrown away it’s going to be reused! I haven’t made a candle using remnant wax yet, but I’ll keep you posted. The difference with these candles is that the wax is going to be from mixed sources, so it won’t likely be soy wax. And the scent of the original candle might still be lingering, but I think it’ll be a good way to bring new life to something that was going to be tossed. I even have a name for them, B-52 Candles. Stay tuned, I’ll be posting when they’re done (in the new year I’m imagining).
As usual email me if you have any questions, thanks!

Milly Pom @ The Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba (AGSM)

12 Apr

Bonjour! That means “hello” in french. Bet you didn’t know that, right? I’m so continental. Listen, some exciting news has just come across the Milly Pom desk. Milly Pom candles are now available at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba!


Candles, candles that look like these:

Take a look at the AGSM website here.

You might be asking yourself what is so special about these candles? Well, they are made from soy wax. Soy wax is non-toxic, like beeswax, but is easier to produce because bees are lazy. Just kidding, they’re not lazy, but soy is pretty darn easy to grow I hear. It’s an easily renewable resource. Unlike parrafin candles that are made from petroleum soy wax is biodegradable.

Milly Pom candles are lightly scented, so they’re nice for people who want a little scent, but not to be overwhelmed. Some of the candles are even made with 100% essential oils, the price increases with this type of scent, but it’s a nice option for people who want something all natural.

The wicks that are used are cotton core, there’s no metal in the wick, so it helps reduce carbon build up when burning. They’re also constructed using 100% natural fibres.

The vessels used for the candles are pre-loved. Instead of buying new containers from a company and letting unique cups, glasses, jars sit in second hand stores they’re getting new life through Milly Pom. The less new containers we buy, the less are produced meaning that we’re reducing & repurposing all at the same time. Oooo it feels good to be eco-friendly. I think Leonardo Dicaprio is smiling somewhere.

Don’t forget also that Milly Pom candles are also available at Glitz Gallery on Academy Road in Winnipeg, Forum Art Centre on Eugenie Street in Winnipeg, & Di Erbe on Marion in Winnipeg. Go pick some up and make Al Gore’s day.

A Finely Crafted Sale – Park Theatre December 2011

27 Nov

The date is quickly approaching for A Finely Crafted Sale (Formerly known as this ain’t your grandma’s craft sale). I’ve been working super hard getting my items together, there’s going to be a lot of great gift ideas at very reasonable prices for even the hardest to please. I’m very excited to release some new candle scents at the show; Current & Thyme tea, Maple Sugar, Amberwood, Cotton Candy, and Acai Berry. I’m also going to have some candles available that are made using essential oils, some of the scents available will be Patchouli, and Basil, with Special Edition candles, featuring a plantable hang tag, in the scents of Fir Forest and Peppermint. Take a look at a few of the items in the works:

Herb markers for the chef on your shopping list, in various bright colours to stand out in the garden or in a pot.

Special Edition Pepperming candles featuring a plantable tag that grows into wildflowers when planted.

Special Edition candles in Fir Forest.

So many candles in a variety of scents to please anyone.

Felt beads, soon to be strung onto necklaces!

And here’s the newest edition to my list of crafts, Milly Pom Bath Soak. They’re made with ingredients shown to remove toxins and relieve dry skin. The herbs that the soaks are scented with were grown in my own backyard and dried by me, they smell amazing. Available in 2 scents, lavender, and chocolate mint (chocolate mint is the type of herb). The labels on the jars turned out super cute, they were printed by Bloom Design & Graphics.

The show is from 6pm – 10pm Sunday December 4th at the Park Theatre. Hope to see you there!
