Linda Clay Kobo Candle — Giveaway-A-Day 11/27


Find the winner for Friday's Giveaway at the bottom of this post.
____________

I couldn't be more delighted to feature my friend Linda's fab boutique today. In harsh reality, only New York Area Locals can take advantage of the boutique, but readers far and wide can score something lovely, because Linda will send the winner of today's Giveaway a COVETABLE AND TO DIE FOR KOBO CANDLE!!!





Linda and I came upon KOBO candles at the Gift Show a few months ago and we couldn't pass them by. Linda was in love because she is a huge candle aficiando and these are top of the line. I was in love because I'm a sucker for fabulous packaging and Kobo wows. I recommend purchasing one just for the box. Amazing.

Each KOBO candle, complete with lid and matches, is hand-poured with 100% domestically grown pure soy wax and lead free, enviro-safe cotton wicks, to create the cleanest burning and most planet-friendly candle. 70 hour burn time. The scents get universally rave reviews.


What do candles have to do with Linda? Linda is a multi-talented lady who makes her living working with interiors, gifts and especially planters (read: she'll do up your patio pots, window boxes and holiday mantles fabulously). She traditionally works by appointment out of the studio in her beautiful home, but happily, she is holding a Gift Boutique open to the public for 4 days this week. If you live in the tri-state area, you won't want to miss this. Bring your girlfriends, come enjoy some wassail, and find perfect gifts for friends, teachers, mother-in-laws, sisters and neighbors.




In addition to the super-lovely Kobo candles, here are some sneak peeks of some of the treasures you'll find:


Funktion aprons


poultry salt and pepper shakers, by sadek


Seda France candles


mugs and coasters by Jane Jenni


shower caps by Taylor Linens

Personally, I can't wait to be there. I love this kind of thing. Happy women, with friends, shopping for beautiful things in a beautiful home. No crowds. No rush. If only all shopping could be so pleasant.

Thank you, Linda
!
