Don't forget! Tomorrow is First Friday @ Milepost 5!! Come enjoy the festivities as artists throughout the complex open up their studios and let strangers in. Everyone is welcome and the retail shops (including mine, JUST THE GOOD STUFF), will often have sales and workshops, while the artists throughout the complex dull out treats and love to talk about their work. E.A.T. will most likely have a band playing on their stage and will, ofcourse, be serving their out-of-this-world food. See you there? Milepost 5 is really easy to get to. Just take I-205 to the Glisan exit and go west. Turn right on NE 82nd Ave.. Go one block and turn left on Oregon St.. Find a place to park. |

So, at my store's Grand Opening the Mayor, Sam Adams, came in and said, "This is the best smelling store in Portland!". Well, he is right about that one! The Grand Opening of JUST THE GOOD STUFF @ Milepost 5 (NE 82nd, just N. of Glisan) was a lot of fun. Many wonderful people came in, browsed, oohed and aahhed & bought organic fragrance for their home & body. If you have the chance to stop by, I also have a collection of upcycled home & garden art (tiki torches, hummingbird feeders, garden art), handmade chocolates, hand painted glassware, fused glass, jewelry, pottery faces made by my son, greeting cards and whimsies. I hope to see you there! |
Adding wickless massage candles

Wanted to let everyone know to check back soon for my new WICKLESS massage candles and Aromatherapy Candles. You just place the elegant, wickless, soy candle on a warming plate and as it heats up, the organic aroma wafts throughout the rooms. The massage candle is then at the ready for impromptu massages rather than having to light it and wait for the "wax" pool to develop. You can keep your "candle" going throughout the day with no flame. Cool huh? |

I am jazzed! Now you can buy my highly sought after candles at my little boutique in Milepost 5. Located just N. of Glisan on NE 82nd Ave., and across from the community center park, Milepost 5 is a live/work community with a fab restaurant E.A.T. (eat, art, theater), a gallery, free community activities and concerts, and various shops. My shop, JUST THE GOOD STUFF, located next to the restrooms in the hallway by the restaurant, will be loaded with my candles, melts, and body products, as well as upcycled items for the home and garden and necessary treats (caramel corn and chocolates for starters). Official opening will be March 18th, with the Grand Opening Ceremony April 8th. The complex grand opening extends throughout the weekend with free activities, music, a ribbon cutting ceremony by the mayor, and much more. I will be giving out FREE samples of sweet w/ heat caramel corn and lip balm. Hope to see you there! |
Cleaner Air, One Candle at a time

Every once in a while, I forget how truly allergic I am to synthetic fragrance. After living for so many years not being able to be around fragrance and now, with my essential oils and organic, plant derived,natural fragances, being constantly surrounded by wonderful fragrance, I forget the affects synthetics have on me. And then I enter a building with a synthetic candle burning. Or perfume. Or try a lotion. I instantly can tell if the fragrance is synthetic or not. My throat starts to clam and tighten up, my breathing becomes labored, my head hurts and I feel sick. How many people have this same affect? I hope that my business grows expenentially. Not because I want $$ (although I surely don't mind) but because I want the air we breath to be fresh and healthy. I don't think most people understand what they are burning and putting in their air. After all, if a lotion says natural or a candle says natural, doesn't that mean it |
