Finally had enough donations as well as much needed time to create nearly 2 dozen candles this weekend! Learning more as I go, but I enjoyed playing with dyes for a variety of color options as well as learn to use a heat gun to make the candles look more polished. A labor of love as it took over 40 candles with leftover wax and over 7 hours to create what you see here.
A HUGE heartfelt thank you to The Space GBG and friends of The Space who donated so much of leftover candle wax the last 3 months. 🫶🏽
This specific batch of candles will be sold at the Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas annual Light and Unite on Sunday, 15. October for International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Proceeds from the sales will go directly back to the organization that aided us during the still birth of our daughter nearly 5 years ago. The money raised will help continue the organization’s efforts to support families on the worst day of their lives.
Please consider lighting a candle in your time zone at 7pm this day to honor all those babies gone too soon and their families who love & miss them so very much. ✨🕯️👼🏽
