Fresh and Chic: Maddison Avenue Candle/Liebling Designs - October 9, 2008I can’t imagine anyone not falling in love with Maddison Avenue. This chic website has great soy candles which are handpoured downstate from me…in homey Charleston, Illinois. So you know that anything coming out of the midwest can’t be bad, right?
According to their website, “With every soy candle purchased you are supporting the American farmer and providing another source of income back to the U.S. economy. Maddison Avenue soy candles are created using the highest quality fragrance oils available (and trust us, we’ve done the research) and are best known for their empowering aromas from top to the bottom. Maddison Avenue soy fragrances are chosen for their soothing aromas that invoke memories, creating relaxing and peaceful energy to create all natural candles and highly scented candles.”
And amen for all of that! These candles are fabulous. We tried Pomegranate Passion and Pumpkin Crunch and Wickedly Chic can happily say that these both are winners. It’s clear that Maddison Avenue chooses their fragrances with the utmost of care and the candles burned beautifully….clean with absolutely no soot at all. Best of all, the candles are made with organic soy wax which is free of pesticides & herbicides.
Other scents to try include Balsam & Spice, Spiced Cranberry & Cinnamon, Latte Grande & Warm Cinnamon Buns…among many others. Do you have a blog or website? Maddison Avenue invites you to put their banner on your home page and they will take 5% off of any order. Thinking about holiday shopping? Consider a gift certificate from Maddison Avenue….I can’t think of a more perfect gift for a candle lover. Maddison Avenue also offers privately labeled wholesale candles. If you have a boutique or spa, consider placing an order as these candles would easily impress your clients.
Another fabulous midwestern business is located in Minneapolis and owned by Jessica Cripps. Liebling Designs is Jessica’s baby & she’d like to get her jewelry into the hands of women all over the globe.
“Rock your pretty” is Liebling Design’s motto & that suits this line of jewelry well. I really love the chic yet very feminine touch in all of Jessica’s pieces. If you like vintage styles with a modern twist, you’re going to adore these pretties. If June Cleaver were choosing jewelry for a 2008 episode of Leave It To Beaver, I feel that June would be scarfing her way through the necklaces at Liebling. “Ward, what do you think of this one?” “Why it’s lovely, June…is that a Liebling?”
Ah….but there’s more than just necklaces in this collection. Don’t miss the gorgeous array of earrings…& the colors are beautiful too. The earthy necklaces are also stunning…it’s clear that this artist has a lot of talent & has something to make any woman happy. Keep Liebling Designs in mind for holiday shopping…your recipients will be guaranteed to have a unique & beautiful gift that was created with love. And style.
