:: Paul Revere Punched Tin Simmerblend Warmers at Village Candle ::

Good Monday morning everyone! It’s October 3rd already, I have a feeling that this month is going to fly by! But for now, I am going to enjoy every minute of the leaves changing & all of the other beautiful sights, sounds & smells of Fall while I can. We are supposed to have gorgeous weather this week!

As most of you know I burn candles all year long, but Fall is when I really love to have those warm, cozy, comforting scents aglow in our home. Whether it is a lit candle or a Tart /Simmerblend melting in a warmer. It is all about making a house a home. Making it welcoming & cozy.

I wanted to let you know that Village Candle sells Paul Revere Simmerblend warmers/punch tin lights. I have a few of these in our home. The light & the glow that they give off is wonderful. Especially with the punched tin design, the light just dances on the wall in a beautiful pattern.

Here are just a few of the ones that they sell on their website ::

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Our weather was absolutely gorgeous! We must enjoy these days while we can. The snow will fly all too soon for me…I wish Fall could last forever!

What better place to enjoy the sights, sounds & smells of Fall than the Farmers Market! We spent the morning there yesterday. The music, the produce, the flowers, the food etc. I snapped some photos & thought I would share!  Get ready to come along for the day. LOTS of photos!

We had a great time. I got my mums for our front porch too! 4 for $20.00…now I think that is a great deal! And they are NICE mums!  Yay!

Then it was time to head to the Primitive Treasures Fall Open House! SO many fun goodies & they let me take some pictures to share with all of you that couldn’t make it.

The shop looked wonderful. Full of Alison’s handmades and unique antiques that her & her husband find to sell in the shop! So much to look at. Here are a few peeks!  Enjoy!
