Carla is devoted to helping people--especially women--gently care for their Selves and honor wherever they are on life's journey. A grateful recovering alcoholic, she is fiercely devoted to the magical healing powers of candles, friendship, rest, laughter, retreats, dogs and mashed potatoes.

Bob pretending

to multi-task

bob blazek

Photographer

Like many folks, Bob leads a double life: By trade he's a database programmer, by passion he's a nature photographer. Thanks to zena moon, Bob also spends countless hours sprawled on wet ground taking photos of candles! He also happens to be Carla's baby brother. Needless to say, without Bob's talent, this website would be mostly words.

 

Bob's Favorite Candles

 •  animal totem: butterfly

 •  faith

 •  prayer for peace

GO ZAGS!

Artisan Extraordinaire

Our luxurious velvet eye pillows (of the winter gift set) and soft suede treasure bags (of the house blessing gift set) are the handiwork of the talented and creative Joyce, who also happens to be Carla's mom! (Yes, nepotism is truly afoot!) Now if we could only figure out a way to include her chocolate chip M&M cookies in a gift set . . . yummmmm . . .

 

Joyce's Favorite Candles

 •  love

 •  rest

 •  serenity
