Candles

The Latin word "candere" means to flicker.

According to Wikipedia, a candle is a source of light and sometimes a source of heat consisting of a solid block of fuel (commonly wax) and an embedded wick.

As the mass of solid fuel is melted and consumed, the candle grows shorter. Portions of the wick that are not evaporating the liquid fuel are consumed in the flame. The incineration of the wick limits the exposed length of the wick, thus maintaining a constant burning temperature and rate of fuel consumption.

OK, that’s the information bit now let’s see what we can find with the Interior Design Team!

Furniture with a Mission



I have always had a great appreciation for arts & crafts and mission style furniture. You know when you by a well constructed arts and craft piece it will last a life time. You may even get to leave it in your will. Dryad Studios handcrafts some of the finest Mission,Arts & Crafts, and Mackintosh style furniture.

Dryad has taken extra measures to control their quality. Their furniture is handmade from the tree up. They actually raise, log, saw, dry and produce the parts for their furniture.
If you haven’t taken a look at Dryad’s Etsy store it would certainly be worth your time.

Member Spotlight - Quilts With Heart

My member Spotlight goes to Quilts with Heart, it was a hard choice, so many members now to chose from (500 members strong). Located in Canton, Michigan, United States, they have had their etsy shop open since Feb 15, 2008. Check out their shop, http://www.quiltswithheart.etsy.com/ for great quilts of all sizes...

Here are a few of her items...

TROPICAL PUNCH QUILT (30x40)


This quilt is perfect for the baby girl who's more than just "sugar and spice and everything nice!" A really cool baby girl. Perhaps a baby girl who's mommy loves the beach, the tropics, or just hot colors! Pinwheel block fabrics are grape vine prints on turquoise and hot pink backgrounds. Split rail block fabrics are hand dyed hot pink and lime green. Backing fabric is a pale green polka dot. Binding is hot pink and lime green leaf print. Quilted in an overall vine pattern with variegated green thread.All fabric, batting and thread is designer quality 100% cotton. Quilt is machine pieced and hand-guided machine quilted, then bound by hand. Comes with new, 12 inch "TY Beanie Buddy" lamb (Meekins) holding her own, coordinating quilt. This combo makes a great baby shower gift -- guaranteed to get oohs and aahs!

RADIATING STARS QUILT (40x40)

This stunning wall hanging or lap quilt is 40 inches square and features multiple hand-dyed cotton batik fabrics. It consists of nine 12" Radiating Stars of green, purple, blue and copper on coordinating pastel backgrounds. There is a narrow gold batik inner border, and a wider green and purple outer border that matches the quilt backing. The pieced binding echoes the colors of the nearest star block. The center of each star is quilted in a square maze pattern. All background areas are densely stipple quilted, which makes the star points really "pop out" for a 3-D effect. A variegated green thread was used in the bobbin, which blends with the backing and sometimes gives a "dotted" effect on the front to echo the batik dots.The neatest thing about the Radiating Star block is the secondary patterns that emerge when the blocks are joined together; each time you look at it you see something different!

Hope you check out her shop and let her know that you heard of her thru this blog.
