Upcoming Candle Retreat at Village Craft and Candle

by

Candles

Village Craft and Candle is holding their annual candle retreat from Saturday, April 30 to Sunday, May 1, 2011 in St. Mary’s Ontario.

On Saturday you’ll learn how to make votives, blend colours and mix fragrances. They’ll also explore packaging ideas and soy candles.  (Candle photo by Nerry Burg)

The afternoon is all about making cookies, ice cream and cinnamon bun candles. They encourage you to come just to explore this fun hobby or to help expand your candle making business.

Sunday sounds fun because they’ll be making hippie candles and hurricanes. In the afternoon you’ll get lotions, bath salts and warming foot oil. All supplies, instruction booklet, refreshments and lunch are provided.

Village Craft and Candle is my favourite Canadian place to purchase candle supplies because they have an extensive variety of products to choose from and their prices are reasonable. They’re also always very friendly and helpful if you ever have any questions.

Viral Crochet Prodigy Story Takes Dark Turn — But We’re Staying Focused on the Craft

Yes, we know — it might seem odd to say “we’re not commenting” while… saying something at all. But here’s the thing: when a name so closely tied to the crochet world makes headlines for something this serious, not acknowledging it could feel like we’re sweeping it under the rug. And that’s not who we are. We have numerous posts and patterns that link to Jonah’s hands; these were all published PRIOR to any allegations.  At this stage, we have not decided whether to remove the content. 

We’re not here to speculate, fuel drama, or chase clicks on someone else’s pain. We’re here to clarify where we stand about Jonah’s Hands.
– This is a police matter.
– Jonah Larson is still a minor.
– We will not comment on the case.

We’ve always believed that crafting is a safe, supportive space. That doesn’t mean ignoring real-world events — but it does mean handling them with care and responsibility.

Let’s continue to support one another and keep this space kind, creative, and community-focused.
