Perfect for winter skin, our body butters are made with certified organic shea butter and the organic oils of jojoba and coconut. 

The Fall Season is my favorite time of year. Part of the love has to do with the colors and scents of the season but I also can’t resist the gorgeous sophisticated fashions.

Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome
Has many sonnets: so here now shall be
One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me

Let me but live my life from year to year, 
With forward face and unreluctant soul; 
Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal; 
Not mourning for the things that disappear 
In the dim past, nor holding back in fear 
From what the future veils; but with a whole 
And happy heart, that pays its toll 
To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer.

So let the way wind up the hill or down, 
O'er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy: 
Still seeking what I sought when but a boy, 
New friendship, high adventure, and a crown, 
My heart will keep the courage of the quest, 
And hope the road's last turn will be the best.

What we want
is never simple.

We move among the things
we thought we wanted:
a face, a room, an open book
and these things bear our names--
now they want us.

But what we want appears
in dreams, wearing disguises.

We fall past,
holding out our arms
and in the morning
our arms ache.

We don't remember the dream,
but the dream remembers us.

It is there all day
as an animal is there
under the table,
as the stars are there
even in full sun.

These beautiful duotone pillar candles are scented with wonderful aromatic blend of two complementary fragrances.  As the top layer dissipates, the tantalizing bottom fragrance comes to fruition.
