Oil Lamps

Oil Lamps

Nothing is more relaxing or romantic than a room filled with the gentle light of a flickering flame.

My oil lamps will put you in the right atmosphere to unwind from that long day, spice up your evening or settle into a long soak in the tub.

Each piece is handmade - one at a time, and while lamps within a particular color scheme will be similar, no two are ever exactly alike.

All lamp sets come in a gift box with two extra sets of wicks and a starter bottle of lamp oil so you don't have to wait to start enjoying them.

Blue Confetti

I always say this, but this is definitely one of my favorite color combinations. I guess they are all my favorites or I would just quit making that color so...

These lamps are a base of cobalt blue with my secret confetti combination on top. The lamp is then wrapped in clear glass to give it the striped effect.

I have two of the Blue Confetti sets available right now

Small lamp Approximately 1 x 1.25 inches
2 hour burn time
Medium Lamp Approximately 2 x 2.5 inches
4 hour burn time
Large Lamp Approximately 3 x 3.5 inches
6 hour burn time

Set of three lamps - $85.00

Relax for Better Health

Did you know that 80% of the population experiences tension-type headaches. We all need to learn to relax! Its no wonder relaxation has actually become a medical treatment. Well, before the doctor has to write you a prescription, why don’t you try these seven steps to relaxation.

Find a comfortable space
The best place to relax will vary for everyone, and it doesn't matter where it is as long as you're comfortable. You can find a comfy chair, a cushion on the floor, or immerse yourself up to your chin in a bubble bath. What matters is that the place is quiet, you're comfortable, and there won't be any interruptions or distractions.

Watch a candle flame
Watching a candle flame can be very relaxing for some people. You can also use scented oils to give your room a nice, relaxing scent. If you choose to use a candle and watch the flame place it somewhere you'll be able to see it easily while relaxing your body.

Try some soft music
If you want, put on some soft music. Choose something instrumental with no lyrics to distract you. Keep the pace gentle and relaxed.

Get comfortable
Now get comfortable. You can sit down or lie down. Just don't choose a position in which you're likely to fall asleep. If you find warm baths calming, relaxation in the bath surrounded by candles can be a good idea.

Breath deep
As you begin to relax, take slow, deep breaths from your diaphragm. Concentrate for a few minutes on nice, deep breaths that fill your lungs and expand your rib cage. Relax your arms at your sides or on your lap and continue the deep, relaxing breathing.

Relax your body
Begin with your toes, and work your way up. Be aware of any areas where your muscles are tense and spend a bit of extra time concentrating on those areas.

Stretch gently
Take inventory of how you feel. Mentally and emotionally, you should feel calmer. Physically, your muscles should feel more relaxed. Taking time for relaxation on a regular basis has great benefits, and as it becomes a regular habit, it should increase in effectiveness.
