It was a happy day when the mailman brought me some samples of Linnea’s Lights, an eco-friendly candle line with absolutely delightful scents. The happiness began with the packaging. It’s a little thing but really how nice to include a small box of matches, don’t you think? It just sends the message that they care [...]

Top Three Thursdays
