{because affordable should never look or smell affordable}

Isn’t that a great motto? It’s been the driving force behind the Modern Notes home fragrance line for over 15 years!

Their soy blend double scented candles are beautifully designed to burn perfectly every time (and their packaging so so appealing, it makes the perfect grab-and-go gift).

The founders of Modern Notes Candles are renowned for their contributions to the home-fragrance industry. Whether it’s their work with creating fragrances for the world’s leading luxury brands (including their own), or with their unique and innovative products, they’ve received the highest praise by the most respected beauty editors of virtually every luxury publication including:

VOGUE, allure, GLAMOUR, The New York Times, Town & Country, Lucky, House Beautiful, Elle Decor and many others.

Let them eat Cupcakes!

kandice — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:56:33 +0000

Everyone loves cupcakes! Trusted favorites at picnics, potlucks, and bake sales, cupcakes go equally well at relaxed and informal gatherings or at elegant parties.

This book by Elinor Klivans has 50 scrumptious ways to bring smiles and those nostalgic memories back faster than a kid can lick the batter off a beater. Try a Cinnamon Sugar Puff Cupcake—they go from mixing bowl to oven to one happy taker in less than an hour. Who needs a peanut butter cup when there’s a peanut butter cupcake in the house? Ethereal Lemon Angel Cupcakes soar even higher when served with some fresh seasonal fruit. With tips and techniques for perfect cupcake-making, basic “head-start” recipes, and gorgeous photographs, it’s time to get out the baking pans and join the cupcake craze.

**”I have to admit that even though I’m not much of a sweets person myself, I ONLY use these recipes to make cupcakes for birthdays and get togethers. It’s my go-to recipe book because every single flavor I’ve tried has been such a crowd-pleaser! You’re going to LOVE this cookbook. Once you make and taste one of these cupcakes, you’ll never want to eat (or make) a boxed cake mix cupcake again!” – Kandice, store owner

Reading Corner

kandice — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 02:54:23 +0000

Just in: Great children’s books! We’ve got several new styles, but these books by Amy Krouse Rosenthal (illustrated by Jen Corace) are my new FAVORITES!
Each story is a lively, adorable play on opposites

Little Pea

If Little Pea doesn’t eat all of his sweets, there will be no vegetables for dessert! What’s a young pea to do? Children who have trouble swallowing their veggies will love the way this pea-size picture book serves up a playful story they can relate to.

Little Hoot

It’s not fair! All Little Owl wants is to go to bed at a reasonable hour, like his friends do. But no . . . Mama and Papa say little owls have to stay up late and play. So Little Owl spends all night jumping on his bed, playing on the jungle gym, and doing tricks on his skateboard—but he’s hooting mad about it ! Children who have a hard time going to bed will love this fun twist on the usual “time for bed” story!

Little Oink

Little Oink is a neat little fellow. Clean, clean, clean, that’s all he wants to do. But Mama and Papa won’t have it! They say in order to be a proper pig, he has to learn to make a proper mess. “Don’t come out until your room is a pigsty,” says Papa Pig. “I won’t have any child of mine going out looking so neat and clean. It’s just not acceptable,” says Mama Pig. Readers who hate to clean up will love this humorous twist on a universal dilemma.
