FEBRUARY CANDLES ARE HERE!
The February Candles feature a wide scope of colors, from magenta, to a soft and frosty pink, to a deeper crimson and ending in a silky and dark brown. These colors represent the many hues of this month. The dark brown represents the chocolate hues of Valentine's Day gifts, and the pinks and reds and whites represent the many flowers or cards that one receives in the month.
The candles are very fragrant, with two scents blended in: Roses and Romantic Moments.
If you subscribe before the end of the month to our candle subscription packages, you can still get the January order, and secure a February order as well!
Also offered this month is a special Valentine's Day Candle Basket! This package is priced at $25.00. This package comes delivered with a card that says whatever you request on it. The candles arrive in a decorative basket, with chocolate kisses sprinkled within and a special Valentine's Day Candle! (the heart shaped centerpiece of the photo below).




The Entire Family - ($25.00) - This special offer comes delivered in a basket with chocolate Hershey Kisses sprinkled in, as well as the special Valentine's Day Heart Candle!










The Star Pillar - ($8.00) - This candle measures 4&1/2 inches tall and is 3&3/4 inches wide. This candle burns for over 40 hours, but we recommend that it remain lit for only 2-3 hour increments at one time.











The Oval Pillar - ($6.75) - This candle measures 4 inches tall. This candle burns for over 40 hours, but we recommend that it remain lit for only 2-3 hour increments at one time.









The Votives (3 Votives = $4.00 or 6 Votives = $8.00) These candles measure 2 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches wide. These candles burn for about 3 hours by themselves, and about 7 hours in a glass votive jar.

After making homemade candles as Christmas gifts this past season, and after incredible feedback as to their design and scent, and due to many friends comments and advice, I am trying to start a new endeavor for myself. I am going to go ahead and sell my candles online, through this and a few other websites.
They come in many different colors and styles, can be custom made and designed to color specifics and sizes, but will always be one of a kind.
A new website devoted to this endeavor alone will be launched in the next day or two with much more information, but I wanted to go ahead and give a heads up to all of you, my faithful readers.
The featured candle style of January is pictured above and below. The design features a snowy white, pale baby blue, and deep navy to reflect the color characteristics of this Winter month. These candles are offered in votive size, medium oval size, and large star design size. Pricing is still being determined, but these will not be ridiculously priced. I want to sell these candles not only as a means to help support myself as an actor living in a very expensive city, but also because I genuinely LOVE designing and making them.
There will be a different candle theme/color scheme for each month of the year, plus other unique designs featured on the website, all available for purchase. I am also going to offer a candle of the month subscription, where the featured design of the month will be delivered to your house.
These candles make fantastic gifts (as I know from this past Christmas), and also look elegant anywhere in your house. More details will soon follow, along with the website, that will be linked on my side bar.

You can look at some photos of a selection of the candles I have made so far at CandlesByStephen's Flickr Photo page by CLICKING HERE.
Shoot me an email at candlesbystephen@yahoo.com to let me know what you think or if you are interested in pre-ordering the candle of the month!
Thanks,
Stephen Gregory Smith
