In the gift industry, it's apparently a well-known fact that summer is
not the season to sell candles.
Well, at Pomegranate, we don't go by any of those industry standards, anyway. We love candles in the summer, and sell lots of them. This time of year, we lean more towards the lighter, citrusy scents that go well anywhere in the house (or outdoors, for those long evenings alfresco). We just got a new shipment in of our wonderful Mixture soy votives (I call them the test tube candles because they come in a slim little glass jar, just $6.95), plus more of the intoxicating
Volcano from Capri Blue (along with a few new scents, too, like
Pomegranate Citrus), a new line called Hôtel with a wonderful lemon verbena scent... oh, and a new shipment of Archipelago arrived on Friday, with more
Luna and
Positano candles and diffuser refills. Oh, loving the new tin 3-wick candles from them, too. Candles are great all year long. Why not?

| Mm, mm, mm. Volcano is just the best; in recycled glass jars of deep blue, white or the new mercury glass turquoise. |

If you're starting on your vegetable garden, you should consider growing your vegetables from seeds. Although the easiest way to start any garden is to purchase plants seedlings and grow them to full, matured plants, others would still prefer to start them from organic garden seeds because it has its own benefits.

Not that anyone is reading this far back, but I went ahead and published the preceeding comment because it's darn funny. Obviously not from Central Oregon, because you would not start a vegetable garden here on August 23. No, indeed, if you're lucky enough to have tomatoes on the vine by now, you better start bringing them in, because it's starting to get a little nippy at night.
And people, if you move here, you'll find out (like the rest of us did, the hard way) that in Bend, you should NEVER start a vegetable garden from seed (unless you have a very good greenhouse). You're better off spending your time and money at the farmer's market... 'cause it's all gonna freeze.
