Rock Candy Vintage

November 4, 2009 1 Comment

Who doesn’t love vintage? My newest sponsor, Candace, of Rock Candy Vintage offers vintage clothing, bags, supplies, jewelry, and accessories. She originally started Rock Candy as a vintage clothing store on Ebay, and now she’s opened up a shop on etsy.

The Must-See items at Rock Candy Vintage are in the Tree Candy jewelry line. Tree Candy is a variety of necklaces made from wood pieces. The wood pendants are so unique and whimsical! I know you will just love them!

The Joshua Tree Necklace is made from a piece of cherry wood and features a tea stained mod podged photo of a Joshua Tree printed on recycled paper, an antiqued copper plated twisted chain, and turquoise colored beads. The back of necklace has a tea stained saying which reads: A story of Survival, Resilience, and Beauty, printed on recycled paper.

Candace has several necklaces that feature birds. These are made in the same fashion as the Joshua Tree necklace, and Candace has put much care and detail into the above design, using a piece of wood found in the desert and two small pieces of an actual cresote bush, glued and sealed with clear acrylic, to make it look like the bird is perched on a branch. The back of necklace has the logo “Tree Candy” burned into wood. Very nice!

For those of you who like personalized items, here’s something especially for you. Your love carving necklace will display your initials burned inside of a heart, and a date can be burned into the back. This necklace is also sealed and preserved with mod podge.

There are so many beautiful necklaces to be had in this shop! You’ll find butterfly necklaces, a cherry necklace, a rabbit, lots of beautiful birds, and there’s even a couple of Alice in Wonderland necklaces that are just adorable!

Visit Rock Candy Vintage on Etsy today! Also check out the Rock Candy Vintage ebay store, and follow Rock Candy Vintage on twitter.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with See’s Candies

February 13, 2009 6 Comments

Still shopping for Valentine’s Day gifts? Consider buying a delicious box of chocolates from See’s Famous Old-Time Candies for that special someone.

I recently tried an assortment of milk chocolates from See’s Candies, and I was very impressed.

See’s Candies was founded in 1921 and is wildly popular in the West. The company is known for its friendly, old-fashioned service and its tradition of using only the finest ingredients to make their delicious chocolates.

Being a Southern girl, I had never had the opportunity to try See’s Candies until recently. When my package arrived in the mail I was thrilled, and I was even more excited when I looked at the contents.
As you know, when you open a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to find. I carefully chose my first piece and was very pleased. It was a Milk Chocolate Butter, a milk chocolate coated confection filled with a sweet, smooth chocolate buttercream. I could have eaten an entire box of these!

Next I tried a Milk Pattie, which was filled with yummy vanilla caramel. (The caramel ones are always my favorite!) And I was more than pleasantly surprised to find another caramel treat, a Milk Butterchew, filled with vanilla, brown sugar caramel. I can’t even describe how good these were! From here, I went on to try the Milk Peanut (yum!), and a Milk Molasses chip.
Then, in order to prevent myself from eating the entire box, I had to offer some to my husband. Hubby heard me rave about this array of yummy sweets, and I suspect he was a little skeptical, thinking they can’t be THAT good. Judging by his reaction, I think his skepticism instantly disappeared. “MMM!” he said biting into his candy. “That IS good. And I don’t usually eat chocolates. Wow!”
I absolutely concur with his quick assessment. And I must confess, while I eat my fair share of cookies and cakes, I don’t usually eat a lot of candy. Most of the time if someone gives me a box of candy, I pick through it and find about two or three pieces that I like and the rest is given away to a friend or thrown away.

 

This was definitely an exceptional box of candy! For the first time I was actually eager to try each and every piece. After trying just a piece or two, I was convinced that each treat would be delicious, including flavors that don’t generally appeal to me, or to put it another away, flavors that I didn’t even know I liked. The candies were perfectly fresh, sweet, and smoothly textured. They weren’t overly rich and heavy like so many other chocolates I’ve tried. And the taste was simply unbeatable!

 

What makes this company even better in my book is that you can go to their website and purchase your own custom mix. You can choose up to ten of your favorites from their list of 102 candies to be included in your custom mix and even adjust the proportions. This is a great option whether you are buying for yourself or a friend.
In the future when I choose to order chocolates I’ll definitely shop See’s Candies. And I strongly recommend them to everyone.
