IT'S (ALWAYS) CANDLE SEASON...BEESWAX IS BEST!

There is nothing better to add ambiance to one’s celebrations (holiday, anniversary, wedding, birthday, etc.) than candles and beeswax are the very best! Their warm glow & clean burn provide a cozy atmosphere just when it’s most-welcomed. Did you know that beeswax has the highest melting point of any wax and therefore a much longer burn time? With their clean burn, they are environmentally friendly and can even help remove odors from the home. Aren’t bees amazing!

You’ll know if a beeswax candle is 100% beeswax when it turns cloudy - called ‘bloom’. If you aren’t a fan of this look, a gentle buffing with a soft cloth or heating with a hair dryer will turn it back to it’s glorious, golden glow! Check out the photo below showing a comparison.

As always, never leave a candle unattended & burn it in a draft-free area. Watch your pets too when burning any type of candle.

We have an excellent selection of beeswax candles in many sizes from tea lights to tapers to pillars and more!

UPCOMING SUNDAY HOURS

Our first of 3 Sunday openings for the season happens this week - Sunday December 4 2022! Find us at 1830 Gainsborough, London from 11 to 2. So many thanks for supporting local this season & throughout the year!

MORE SNOW....HUNGRY BIRDS!

If you’re looking for a pretty easy way to get started in feeding the birds or if you’re just looking to add a little something extra to the feeders that you already have, you might want to check out our SEED CYLINDERS! (They’d make a great gift too - wink, wink) They are attractive to many species including, but not limited to, Cardinals, Chickadees, Juncos, Finches, Nuthatches and Woodpeckers. With more snow & cooler temperatures in the forecast, many of these feathered friends will be searching for easily accessible sources of food.

WE REMEMBER THEM, WE THANK THEM

YES, IT'S NOVEMBER!

Might as well leave the peppers on the plants when the weather allows!

HELLO NOVEMBER!

It’s difficult to believe that November has arrived! Lovely fall weather continues while it’s difficult to understand how September & October flew by! At any rate, we’ll take more fall with some colourful leaves holding on!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween!

BUSY FEEDERS & EVENING GROSBEAKS REPORTED!

With some recent warmer temperatures, one would think that feeders wouldn’t be too busy. This hasn’t been the case around our garden and the same goes for many others as well. We’ve been entertained by Blue Jays, Chickadees, White and Red-breasted Nuthatches, Goldfinches, House Finches and various Woodpeckers. A couple of folks have been delighted to report Evening Grosbeaks…how fun is that!

JUNCOS ARE HERE....TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO DROP THIS WEEK

While temperatures are currently quite lovely, they are expected to take a dip this week! Many birds continue to source nourishment in the wild but we’ve noticed many visits when we fill up our feeders. Today, for instance, we’ve had both White & Red-breasted Nuthatches, Cardinals. Chickadees, House Finches, and Blue Jays along with a few visits from the cute Tufted Titmouse. As well, many have had Junco sightings (our first pictured below)! Whatever birds are in your garden or around your feeders, enjoy the entertainment!

Dark-eyed Junco - October 15/22
