Allo folks!

Wow!, just realized that I haven’t checked in on my website or written a blog in far too long.

Alot has been happening with the Candle company I am happy to say!

Onc we got our rep and did the LA gift show, wholesale orders started pouring in and I am quite pleased to say that they still are!!! Basically getting this company really up and going and turning it into the smooth working machine that it needs to be has been a real experience. I cannot really think of anything that could be farther from the work that I am used to. but I have enjoyed it immensely.

I have always loved inventing scents and having been obsessed with essential oils and perfumery for the last decade or so finally ended up having a use to it! Q’uelle surprise! ( probably spelled that wrong). One thing though is that it IS all consuming. It takes up every moment of every day and I really have not had time to do much of anything else. I must learn to delegate more wisely. I am used to doing everything myself so learning to teach others this new skill I have in my quiver has been interesting. Once the company is firmly established I will be able to move forward with other projects I am sure.

The Gatos are all doing fine and Gingey the great Ginger cat has fully recovered from his asthma (knocks on wood) which is a true blessing. The great big art space is now the great big factory space! There is much work to be done in terms of it’s style and decoration as It is such a raw space. Definitely needs some plants….hmmm. I am looking forward to that, i LOVE interior design and more than that I Love designing!!!

I haven’t come across anything film-wise that tickled my fancy which is just as well seeing as I have been so busy with the candle line. I have faith that the right one will come when it’s meant to.

I have really been noticing spring this year in all of it’s glory. It seems to be coming rather early. The weather has been mild and absolutely story book perfect in LA. I miss the greenness of Canada and Britain in the spring but I find it here and there poking it’s head through the cracks in the pavement and in the trees and front gardens. I have half a mind to build a sort of solarium section in the art space /factory. It would be great to have a place to have lunch surrounded by orchids and plants. It is very grey and made entirely of cement so adding a few green friends would be nice….. There I go again… babbling about plants!

I will take photos and post them eventually I will will will!!. Right now though it is all in full industrial mode and not as pleasing to the eye as I would like.

I am starting to really miss playing music and making art and hopefully soon I will be able to finally get my kickstarter up and active. So many projects I want to do…. so little time and budget….. but ALL IN GOOD TIME!

I have developed an unhealthy obsession with a British TV show called “The Mighty Boosh”. Its addictive! I swear it is! -that is if you’re into British Humour. The show is absolutely ridiculous and absolutely brilliant at the same time. Check it out if you can find it. I found it first on You tube. Just search “Crack fox and it should pop up. Itll give you a good rather odd but good giggle.

For those of you who have been asking where and how they can purchase one of my candles I finally have a sane and relatively normal solution!

Just go to [email protected] and leave your credit card info and order desires. It is secure and encrypted so it is completely safe or you canfax your order and info to the company’s efax #1 310 362 8878.

All of this info will soon be available on the site itself.

well with that my dears I am off. More work to do before bed. I send you love and light and hope that you are all healthy and Happy.

all the best
