The Candle Jars Are Getting Face Lifts

 Since 2005 I've learned so much about presentation

and labeling.

I am sooo ashamed of those early labels.

Oh.my.

Kind of like looking back at the photography 

during the early years of my blog

Hospitality Lane.

Ugghhh.

Sometimes I am a bit overwhelmed when 

I wonder how my progress will appear to 

me in another five years.

Will I be just as embarrassed by this?

Probably.

But we have to do our best with 

the knowledge we have, right?

So....I'm showing you current and up to date

labels and sometimes the photos that 

I've taken to work with.

Loving photography has come in very handy.

Doesn't everybody like a little 

fruity spice?

No?

O.k.  You are right.

Not everyone.

But many do and so I carry

this delightful blend of citrus and clove.

The photo on this label was taken a few years

ago on a vacation to Williamsburg, Virginia.

I enjoy the memories that come with seeing 

this label. 

It was chosen for its complementary colors.

 No need for a label here....

The heart says it all.

Chocolate and Valentine's Hearts are

so perfect together.

For the Wildflowers label the photo inspiration

came from one of our days spent at Longwood Gardens.

I do love that place.

Can you find the flowers in the label?

This process takes a lot of time.

I mean with more than 70 fragrances I'll be busy

at this for a while.

But it is fun too.

Today I must figure out a label design for my 

Oceans Candle.

Whether I find something in my photo library

or find the need to take something has not yet 

been decided.

But...I must figure it out.

Because some Oceans candles must go out the door

before Thursday.

Bear with me in my Etsy Shop as I make 

these changes.

You may order something with one label

and receive an upgraded waterproof

label.

I'm caught in the middle.
