What a fabulous giveaway, please put my name into the hat! One of my favorite books is "The Time Traveler's Wife". I read this when I lived in Chicago where the book takes place and knowing the places made it all the more special. Plus, I loved the odd premise of the story. If you haven't read it, I hope you enjoy!!
Looove their candles! I'm loving the book I'm currently reading, "El Amor en los Tiempos del Colera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. jenna.lea.c@hotmail.com
What a great giveaway; I live vicariously through the Winnebago Diaries. I want their life. :) My favorite book is the Time Traveler's Wife.
LOVE the candles! I have so many favorite books...seems The Secret Life of Bees is appropriate considering the give away! ~*

Awesome candles! Thanks for the chance to win some! Call me a hopeless romantic but I'm always a sucker for any Danielle Steele novel. Have a lovely day! :)
I would love to enter! (Full disclosure: I actually got here through Pollen Arts' Facebook page, but this blog looks lovely and I would very much like to stick around.) A little while ago I read "Two Years Before The Mast" by Richard Henry Dana, which was fascinating! It's a really engaging memoir of a sea voyage from Boston to California in the early 1800s (I'm not that much of a nautical fiction buff, and I loved it).

How amazing is this?!! I would love to be entered to win one of their GORGEOUS beeswax candles. I'm so fond of beeswax. Hmmm, favourite book. Hard to choose, but I would have to say Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, just because I've read the book 5 times already.

Wow, thanks for the drawing! My favorite book is "The Shell Seekers" by Rosemunde Pilcher. After I read it, my husband found a copy at a bookstore and bought it for me. I will read it again.

What beautiful candles, Laura. I would love to be entered in the contest. I have many favorite books, but one that comes to mind right now is Outlander (from the Outlander Series)
My favorite book is Jane Eyre. (Also, To Kill a Mockingbird and The Woman in White)
Hi Laura - I am really not a reader but I did read Outlander and was about 1/2 way thru Dragonfly in Amber when we moved a few years ago. I had 3 or 4 of the books in that series and either lost them or gave them away when we moved. I would love to be entered in the giveaway for these lovely candles. I will visit their Etsy store - we love candles.
