I don’t want our blog to become all about the shop and what we’re doing and displays, but it sure is fun to share the things I’m most excited about.

Every season at market, my goal is to find the “gem.”  We scour the three buildings for the one new line that will bring something new to the local or online market, or one I just can’t live without.  I’ve been around business a long time, and honestly, there’s something powerful about trusting your gut.

Perfectly Imperfect Neighborhood Scents Candle Line

We are introducing our Neighborhood Scents Candle Line…they are hand poured in the south by an awesome husband and wife team, and we could not be more proud to carry them in our shop and online.

The candles are 100% soy and have a 60+ hour burn time, and y’all.  They smell amazing.  I mean, really, really lovely.  We had a blast choosing the first 11 neighborhood scents, and are even having a contest for locals to name the 12th. (Psst: be sure to drop in if you’re local and suggest a name for the 12th.  if we choose your scent, you’ll win a $100 gift card)

So the candles are each named after local streets and spots, and I am PUMPED about the packaging and how much we will customize them.  I almost didn’t list them online, but hey, they smell so great so I thought we had to share.

Plus, we’ll be creating limited editions as well, and we’re already working on new lines like an “all things Perfectly Imperfect” line, DIY line, and a 30A line.  If you have a name suggestion, let me know in the comments–if we choose your name, we’ll give you a $100 gift card, too!

One of the coolest things about running a local business is working with local artists.  This amazing chalk art was done by my sweet friend, Kristy Drinkwater of Counterpart Brand & Design…she did an AMAZING job, right??

Oh, and one more thing…

Perfectly Imperfect Neighborhood Scents Candle Line

This is our signature candle, appropriately named Perfectly Imperfect.  It’s made with Tuberose, Musk, and Patchouli, and it is one of the best scents I’ve ever come across.  Perfect.  They’re all listed online, so be sure to grab yours here.

Can’t wait to see any names y’all come up with, and don’t worry, we’ll at least be choosing one name from this post, so there will be a lucky $100 gift card winner, but I’m open to choosing up to 3 winners!  Get naming, friends!!
