Happy Scented Candle Day for all those who celebrate. Which includes us, now that we have in the Joshua Mark Thomas Holiday 2026 scent!

Your eyes do not deceive you; that first picture is of an 80 ounce Holiday 2026 candle. It’s beautiful. It smells amazing. It’s certainly a conversation piece. 🕯️

"An exquisite harmony of coastal serenity and luminous florals, this luxurious candle invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and find beauty in the stillness. Mineral salt and fresh marine air mingle with calming sage, lavender, and delicate rose, evoking the quiet expansiveness of the sea. Juicy fig and nectarine unfold into creamy milk, sweet coconut, and soft magnolia, creating a beautifully balanced blend of freshness and indulgence. As the fragrance deepens, driftwood, moss, cedarwood, and sandalwood intertwine with warm vanilla, earthy patchouli, and soft white musk, leaving a clean, comforting trail of understated elegance." - Grand Island Candle Co.

Available in 8, 10, 30, and 80 oz.

MWA-HA-HA… HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We have plenty of familiar energy from our resident black cat if you want to come in to visit today. Gibby won’t model his pumpkin hat for you, but we do have pictures to prove that he did, at some point, wear it.

We also have an array of ~spoooooky~ goods from artists we love to satiate that Halloween-celebrating urge, or to appease your favorite Halloween party host. Swipe to check them out if you dare!

Happy Black Cat Day! We’re celebrating Gibby today, not only with a large variety of photos of him being himself, but with some items that feel spiritually… Gibby. And some that are literally Gibby. IYKYK.

Also, a Dina for good measure.
