Ah November … we’ve ‘fallen back’, and our daylight hours are slowly getting shorter as we ease into the Winter Solstice season.

The amount of darkness in November in this part of Canada always startles me, no matter  how much I try to mentally prepare for it.  As such I for one have unofficially declared November the month of the candle.  There is something about candlelight that imbues a room with a certain quality of comfort  like nothing else.  Makes me think of corny phrases like “warms the cockles of my heart”.

Here at Stuff we would like to help brighten those long November evenings by offering several options for your candle-lighting pleasure.  As always we have an array of Salt Spring made beeswax candles, as well as soy and palm wax pillars from Galiano Soapworks.  And newly in store for the winter season are wooden Pyramid ‘windmill’ Candles, a beautiful and fun tradition from Germany.  Light the candles to propel the windmill which in turn spins the angels.  Mesmerizing and warming both.

Happy unofficial month of the candle everyone!
