  • Making Valentine Mobiles

    February 2, 2017

    One of the most exciting things about February 14th is making and exchanging paper valentines. A Valentine Mobile makes a creative and unique substitution for a card, and also serves as a re-usable decoration for February 14th. 

    In the wonderful book Tasha Tudor's Old-Fashioned Gifts, Tasha Tudor and Linda Allen include instructions for making Valentine Mobiles and today we are going to show you how to make our own, somewhat simplified, version!

  • Mole Hollow Beeswax Candles

    Since the Tudor Family's handmade candles are produced in small quantities and sell out so quickly, we have another option for you. Mole Hollow is a family-owned and operated business located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Their candles are entirely handmade by craftspeople using premium materials and the same methods that have been in place since the company’s founding in 1969. They maintain a commitment to artisanal manufacturing methods that lends a quality to their candles that cannot be found anywhere else.

    7/8" diameter taper candles (roughly the diameter of a nickel.) Pure USA origin Beeswax. 8"length. One pair (two candles.)
