Not just for ambiance! I learned from my mother-in-law that lighting a candle in the kitchen helps remove cooking odours.
We recently transitioned from a vegetarian diet to including fish once a week, and my tealight holders have been perfect for helping clear the air after cooking.

Can’t believe January is over already! Hope everyone has had a good start to the year.
It’s been a busy one over here and kicked off with the St Helier’s market last weekend - a very big thank you to all who visited!
🌿 My next market is in March - stay tuned for updates!

Got the weights ready for the gazebo. It’s forecast to be a bit of a breezy day at the St Helier’s Art & Craft market on Monday

Yay! So happy to have my taste buds back and most of my sense of smell!
Still dealing with bouts of fatigue - a powerful reminder to slow down, listen to my body and show myself a little kindness.
Stay safe & take care!

Well it took almost 5 years but Covid finally got me 😷. Was laid up for 10 days before managing to create again for short periods. Grateful to have my studio space to take my mind off being sick.
