Gift-giving is also an expression of art - and so, each candle in this decorated gold vessel is meticulously prepared and packaged - tied with a ribbon and finished off with our signature seal - before it leaves our studio.

Patron Saint of Missions and florists
Saint Thérèse, born January 2, 1873 became a Carmelite nun at 16 years old and died at 24 from Tuberculosis.
Her popularity is largely a result of her epistolary essays published in 1898 under the title ‘Story of a Soul’ where she offers a simple narrative of her life and thoughts built on love, selflessness and faith.
"At the beginning of my spiritual life-- between the ages of thirteen and fourteen”, wrote Therese, “I often wondered what greater knowledge of perfection could come to me later on, for I thought it impossible to acquire a better understanding of it than I then had. (Oh, the thirteens and the fourteens--they know it all!) It was not long, however, before I learned that in this matter the more one advances, the farther one seems from the goal, and now I am not only resigned to seeing myself always imperfect, but the thought of it even affords me joy."
It is the simplicity of Thérèse that people relate to. Her dark moments, her anxieties, questions of faith and even talk of her life problems and pressures – all overcome by her deep faith in God.
