Made in the 216 Highlights

This past weekend marked our debut at Made in the 216 as well as the grand opening for The Dredgers Union. In the heart of Cleveland on 4th street there was a bustle of energy, architectural eyecandy and an urban coolness.
The event featured local Cleveland and regional artisans & designers in a hip "Circus" themed pop up retail gathering.
Repurposed industrial chic furniture by 26 BRIKS, graphic treats designed by THIRSTY and upcycled - socially conscious bags by COSMIC BOBBINS just to name a few.
Beautiful jewelry & hip clothing designs and a menagerie of locally created art graced the space as well. Also helping to pull the event together was Jennie from Room Service who was well, just a sweetheart. Thanks Jennie!
Kudos! to Danielle DeBoe & Sean Bilovecky's collaboration resulting in a lifestyle store with "Domestically Produced Values."
Lastly, thank you to all of you who made the trip and supported all of our creative endeavors. You Rock!

Back Full Time!

After a long stretch with some soul searching and trying to juggle two jobs, I have made the decision to make 1820 my full time endeavor.

With that....we have made updates to the store and added some wonderful natural / organic products as well as handcrafted original items to go with our candle line for gift giving.

Have a peek.........www.1820house.com

Shaker Woods 2010

If you haven't already heard.......we are at the Shaker Woods Festival, Columbiana Ohio for 3 weekends in Aug. Our first weekend was face melting hot but amazingly successful due to the fabulous attendance , repeat fabulous customers and refreshing ice tea's in multiples from the Mason's booth. Thank you , Thank you, Thank you!
Our 3 layer new candle experiment sold out , the aromatherapy line is 3/4 gone and a huge chunk is gone out of our regular line. How cool is that!
Two weekends remain so if you haven't experienced the show and are looking for something to do, hop in the car for a road trip. Check out www.shakerwoods.com for travel information.
As an ending note, we will not have studio hours for the month of August due to the show and my work schedule. As soon as I can I will post the fall hours schedule.
Again, thank you for all the support, wonderful compliments and continued patronage.
While a big challenge this year to keep up, it makes it so worth while when I hear the loving comments about the candle line.
Keep Cool!

Full Blown Candle Making Fun!

We ar in full swing as we prepare for our annual trek to the Shaker Woods Festival. While one of my candle making escapades a few of my apprentices showed up on late night and sure made it fun. Thought I'd share a few photos.
Somehow the monkey see monkey do's were slightly confused, there was some neck wringing and laughs to be had. What a life I live!
