Relax and slow down with a soothing new scent
Enhance the pleasures of the winter season with a soothing, new scent. I'm naturally impatient for the arrival of spring, so, not wanting to wish away a quarter of my life I really look for the little things that enhance the long, dark evenings and I actively try to embrace the season. A candle in a lovely decanter makes a statement on it's own. The fragrance really sets the scene and evokes the memories. The warm glow of the flame lends a special ambience enjoyed best after the sun has set. All of this makes me pause and take in a small joy - winter.The way the visual (packaging) accents my seasonal decor affects the way I interpret the scent. These candles from #Skeem elevate the mood both visually and aromatically. To me, they speak of this cold, dark somnolent time. Lay low, brighter days are ahead.While some people have a signature scent, recognizable as soon as you enter their home, I seem to have a new "scent crush" with the arrival of each season. #Mer-Sea is a new offering with a scent that evokes the shore and beautiful seashore-inspired packaging. #Ilume candles have become a staple at Paper Delights. Coconut Milk Mango is a year-round best seller, available in a nice selection of lovely, unique vessels with a size and shape to fit any decor.When you feel yourself wishing away the cold, wet days of winter light up a candle and melt into the moment!

If you prefer something that is simply flat-out gorgeous (the added inspiration never hurts) you will find a lovely selection to choose from in our shops! As we head into the holiday season, this just might the way to bring all the parts of your life together with a little sanity! Give it a try!
Sandwich Bag Fun!
Once the school year begins it's a long nine months of sack lunches. Add some visual interest with the fun graphics of re-useable sandwich and snack bags. The LunchSkins bags fit a sandwich or a few snacks, seal with a velcro strip and clean up in the dishwasher! The "Jam Jar" ziplock bags are brand new and such fun! They are re-useable (pop 'em in the dishwasher), leak-proof, freezer-safe AND they stand up when full! You can really get creative with these: fill with water and use as a vase; drop in a small gift or gift card (great for a gift card for a restaurant) and you'll be giving a double gift! They even teach a valuable lesson: Re-useable is better than disposable! The large size is $1.oo; small is 75¢.
