Happy New Year! On New Year’s Eve we greet our guests with a glass of sparkling wine.
Crisp and creamy with lemony flavors, $20 range.
I like to have a delicately scented candle burning near my front entrance to welcome my guests. My friends at Goose Creek Candles sent me a Warm and Welcome candle. I love its warm glowing amber, vanilla sandalwood, white mocha scent. Very welcoming and relaxing. Goose Creek offers a wide variety of scented candles on their website: www.goosecreekcandle.com
I love the sweet kitty cat on the label!
