Happy New Year!!!

Everyone at Candlelight Barn would like to wish our dear friends, family, and customers, a very Happy and Healthy New Year.  We couldn't have done it without all of your support, love, and guidance.  A new year, means a new beginning, a new chapter, and we are ready to start this new adventure.  Our holiday season was extremely busy with many requests for our custom made baskets to send as thank yous, welcome, happy holidays, get well soon, and just to say hello.  Our all natural ingredient dog treats are still a customer favorite, with leashes, toys, and stockings to send to our furry friends.  Our line of natural spa  gifts are also popular as we use everyday, around the house, ingredients to help you relax, unwind, and rejuvenate.  Candlelight Barn is signed up for a couple of craft fairs already to help ring in the New Year.  We even have centerpieces to help celebrate this New Year holiday.  Thank you again to everyone who follows us on the web and facebook.  We will continue to add more products, and hope that you are as excited as we are to begin another New Year adventure. 

Autumn has arrived

     The autumn season has arrived at Candlelight Barn in beautiful Burlington, Connecticut.  The season of falling leaves, big orange pumpkins, warm sunny days and cool crisp nights make this time of year special and one of our favorite times.  This time of year is busy for everyone as we get back to school, trips to the orchard for apple picking, and hay rides to pick out the perfect pumpkin.
     We are getting ready to start the craft fair circuit again to celebrate all of the coming holidays.  Candlelight Barn has been busy making wreaths, pins, and magnets made of colorful leaves to help celebrate this time of year.  Beautful oranges, yellows leaves, and the clear blue skies are inspiration for our color pallette.
     Our teacher flower pots decorated with school supplies added to a plant continue to be popular as thank you gifts and welcome back to school gifts.  Candlelight Barn has also been busy putting together custom made baskets for our clients for birthdays, get well, and congratulations.  Our small gift boxes, just right for a little treat or trinket for someone special are now decorated with fall themes.

Happy Summertime!!

            Fireworks and fireflies, ice cream cones and watermelon, backyard gatherings and simple family parties, all mean that summer has arrived.  It is hard to believe that we are in the middle of summer and time is passing by quickly.  The weather is beautiful with soft, gentle breezes, and these perfect days are the longest days of the year.  Candlelight Barn has been very busy making all kinds of gift baskets for our clients.  They have emailed us what they wish and a price they would like to pay, and we do the rest.  Get well baskets, dog lover baskets, and end of the school year flower pots to say thank you to the teachers have been exceptionally popular.  It has been a very busy time, and a lot of fun, also.
             We  have a few gift ideas for the summer including wreaths and baskets to celebrate this wonderful time of the year.  And of course, we have our little treasure boxes decorated for the summertime. 
             Candlelight Barn will soon be getting ready for the holiday season and the many craft fairs which we will be attending.  Check out our new products and continue to follow us on Facebook.  Happy Summer to all!!

Reflections for the Month of May

Happy May Day to everyone!  Hard to believe that May is here already.  After a seemingly endless winter, the weather is getting warmer, the trees and flowers are starting to bloom, and the birds are singing.  The April showers have made the landscape lush and beautiful.  It is a busy time of year for everyone, from Mother’s Day, graduations, and birthdays. 

            We at Candlelight Barn are busy filling orders for all of these occasions.  Our baskets, wreaths, and planters are popular.  They are perfect for a sunny porch, entry way or to add a bit of spring to your décor.  Our mini gift boxes have also been very popular.  These little boxes are perfect for sweet treats or small gifts for a loved one, as a thoughtful gesture or as a thank you.  Our small bird houses are painted and decorated for spring, and are perfect to add a touch of whimsy to your home.  For someone who loves to garden, or wishes they had a “green thumb”, our flower buckets and pots will help to achieve this goal.  Each includes seeds, gloves, trowel, and potting soil.

Candlelight Barn still offers our line of natural scrubs and body washes made with products from every day ingredients from your kitchen, including lemon juice, raspberry tea, vanilla, and cocoa powder.  These make perfect gifts for someone for relaxing in a bubble bath, an invigorating shower, and as a wonderful scented scrub. We are still making our ever popular all natural ingredients dog biscuits in cute containers to celebrate the season.

Three new items include antique tea cups with homemade candles, small vintage handbags filled with silk flowers to add charm to an entry table or bedroom dresser, and gift bags with seeds, an angel bear pin, and candle, a perfect way to say, I love you to mom.

Everyone at Candlelight Barn enjoys country and vintage charm and we strive to have that come thru with our crafts, baskets, and gifts.  Our old LP’s, both small and large, are a perfect addition to any party.  We will continue to add to our line of products thru the summer months to celebrate Father’s Day and Fourth of July and  keep everyone updated as we continue this journey together.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to All

            There’s a wee bit of magic in the air and wearin’ of the green at Candlelight Barn.  If you love green, leprechauns, and the pot of gold, then you will love what we are creating.  Our newest body wash is very refreshing with a splash of mint.  We also have our ever famous all natural ingredient dog treats, this time in the shape of shamrocks.  Candlelight Barn is also continuing our line of jelly roll face clothes, this time called “shamrock shake”.  There are shamrock pins, magnets, flower pots with “shamrock” seeds guaranteed to grow with a little leprechaun magic.  We also have our famous “match box” gift containers and party favors to make your St. Patty’s day memorable.  Our LP gift baskets can be filled with whatever you request to make your next party a rockin’ success.  With the days growing longer, Spring is definitely in the air and we continue to add more products to our product line.  Candlelight Barn’s motto is custom made, so if there is a special request that you have, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to accomplish this.  Continue to check back each month for our updated blogs, pictures, products, and follow us on Facebook as we continue this journey together.  Top of the mornin’ to everyone! 

Valentine Greetings

Although it seems to snow and snow, we at Candlelight Barn have been busy getting ready for Valentine’s Day and will be attending another craft event.  We have beautiful hand painted champagne glasses, clay pots painted with hearts and include flower seeds and potting soil, heart pins and magnets, and of course our popular all natural ingredient dog treats, heart-shaped.  Also, new are heart shaped catnip toys for cats for our fellow cat lovers, Valentine wreaths, and candy dishes and baskets made of old LP’s.  Candlelight Barn will soon be starting our new line of scrubs and bubble baths using everyday household ingredients in pretty containers.  All of these are perfect for your sweetheart and calorie free!

Any of these would also be perfect for Mother’s Day, birthday presents, thank you gifts, or for any other occasion.  When you place your order, if there is something you would like customized, just email us with your request and we will do our best to fulfill your request.  Candlelight Barn’s  specialty is “Custom made gifts for all occasions”. 

Candlelight Barn is a family adventure, and we are all involved in the many aspects of the day to day operations, from setting up the website and filling the orders as they come in, to making the crafts, and organizing each event that we attend.  We truly enjoy this adventure and it is a labor of love.  We are looking forward to the New Year as we expand our products for the upcoming holidays, and Spring and Summer months.  Our specialty is called “Cups of Comfort” which are mugs for teachers, friends, and family for any type of holiday or occasion, including vintage material mugs for a quick thank you or hello.  We hope to create memories for others.
