New large beer bottle candles!

We are excited to offer larger 
beer bottle candles! Most of the bottles 
shown were hand cut from 2
22 oz beer bottles 
& filled with soy wax!


I love the wig splitter coffee stout bottle
 & of course I scented it with a hazelnut 
coffee! It's sooo good & will burn for 
over 100 hours at minimum!


We also have a few large whiskey citronella
candles available
each Saturday at the downtown
 Appletonfarmer's market. 
Our booth is
on Oneida st. just off of College ave.


Come down early for our best selection! 
See you soon! -Michelle

Happy Belated 4th of July!!!

Market vending season is in 
full swing for us! I have been so busy that I 
haven't had much time to blog.

Our teenagers had a little 4th 
of July friend gathering at our house since
we are blocks from the fireworks so I set 
up some snacks & added one of 
our new citronella candles in for decor. 

The Capitol Brewery U.S. pale
ale was the perfect bottle for the holiday
celebration!


We have been collecting some really
fun bottles! I think the three below
scream Summer time! :)

We are offering scented candles at the market 
as well as our new citronella 
scented candles! 


We have new bottles & scents every
Saturday at the downtown Appleton 
Farmer's market. We are off of Oneida st.
just off of College ave. 

See you soon! :)

Cat scratcher DIY!

We recently adopted our
 sweet kitty from the Humane society 
& I was surprised to learn that
they love cardboard. 

I had been shopping around a bit
for a scratcher for her & they were either
cheaply made or
expensive.


I remembered that we had some corrugated 
cardboard in the garage & a shallow 
box (as I save them for shipping out 
my inventory). 

I cut the cardboard strips the width of the 
box & removed the flaps. It took
quite a few strips 
to fill the box so that it was 
packed in there tightly. 


I hot glued some scrap fabric on 
the edges of the box to 
make it not look like a box
full of cardboard. Lol!


She instantly started scratching on it!
She LOVES it.. 
She sleeps on it, plays on it
& most importantly scratches on it. 

All for free! :)

Trampoline DIY


We bought our trampoline used
on Craigslist & it is in great condition 
minus the spring padding. It was dry rotted &
torn. It just didn't look good!
We bought it last Fall so I have been
scouring Pinterest for 
ideas, ways to make it 
look better & for a new cover!



The covers can be expensive so I knew 
I could DIY something.
I came across the pool noodle idea, 
it was affordable & so easy to do!
I used 14 pool noodles (from the dollar store),
cut them to size with scissors,
slit the bottom & wrapped each spring. 
It only took me about a 1/2 hour to complete.

It looks so much better now!


You could also get creative & use 
multiple colors. I decided to go with 
just green as my local dollar store
didn't have too many colors 
to choose from. 

Enjoy! -Michelle
