Peppermill Candle Co and Skin Care

Peppermill Candle Co and Skin Care

Each soy candle is hand-mixed to create unique, nostalgic, and evocative fragrances you absolutely won’t find anywhere else. Peppermill Candle Co uses double the amount of fragrance that most suppliers use to create a strong and delightful, but not overwhelming, scent all through your home.

Shannon, owner of Peppermill Candle Co, believes if you’re paying for a candle, you deserve something memorable, well-made, and long-lasting!

The candles are 100% high-quality soy wax and each is hand-poured (with love, and a little attitude) in Hartford, Michigan. Peppermill has expanded to include a wide variety of natural skin care. Born out of a desire to soothe her own problematic skin in an affordable, natural way, Peppermill now includes items like skin serums, face masks, and sugar scrubs, as well as all natural lash and brow serum. Shannon is a self proclaimed perfectionist and combines her huge interest in creating and her drive to make the best items possible in Peppermill.

Shannon was asked “What makes your product unique or attractive to our customers?” Shannon’s response: Unlike most scent makers who simply buy distributor fragrances and market them under their own brand, I painstakingly mix and test all my scents and formulas to ensure exceptional hot and cold throw, and to be confident they are different scents than you will find anywhere else. My skin care items are not just “natural” as a buzzword for sales – I do everything I can to ensure my products are as natural as possible (with some very minor exceptions for safety and preservation purposes) and I strive to use as many Michigan-based ingredients as possible.

Tree Slab Wall Clock

Kathy, owner of Kathy’s Creative Inspirations in Waterford Michigan creates rustic and vintage wall clocks from reclaimed wood. The design of each wall clock is unique and the wood itself has its own characteristics. The resin artwork makes each clock a one of a kind piece. The resin just has a beautiful shine. The clock’s have quartz movement making them accurate at keeping time. The clocks have a keyhole on the backside for easy hanging and take one AA battery which are not included.
The Tree Slab Wall Clocks measure approximately 21 x 13 x 2. Due to the nature of wood, each Wood Slice Clock is a one-of-a-kind creation. You will receive as beautiful clock in a similar detail as shown, however it will differ in shape and size. If you like natural, minimalist, outdoorsy, log cabin or rustic decor, you’ll love a vintage rustic Tree Slab Wall Clock. The beautiful resin provides an incredible shine. The tree cookie or wood slab is unique because each one is slightly different in shape and wood grain characteristics.
The Large Pallet Wall Clocks are available in your choice of color, measures 27 x 31 x 2 and weighs about 12 pounds. The beautiful resin artwork truly makes this a one of a kind piece. The resin hardens to a shine with a glass-like finish. If your style is a little bit country or a little bit chic or modern rustic, a unique pallet clock will brighten your home decor.
In 2016 Kathy became a Registered Nurse First Assist in the operating room. When she finished the course she wanted to make herself a present for completing the program. She started showing a few friends the woodworking she had been doing with the cookie tree slabs and reclaimed pallet wood and resin. She was commissioned to make a few clocks similar to what she had made for herself. More people started commenting on her woodworking and her business began. The tree slabs clocks have varying shapes and unusual wood grain. The reclaimed pallet wood pieces are unique in the way the wood is formed.

ScentSation Premium Candles

ScentSation Premium Candles

ScentSation Premium Candles

ScentSation Premium Candles are highly scented candles combined of coconut wax and soy wax creating a highly scented, slow-burning, candle! Coconut and soy candles are not your average candle. Candles made with coconut wax are the ultimate slow burning candle.
Coconut wax is made through a cold-pressed process from the meat of the coconut. This type of wax has many benefits. One of the many is it holds a higher fragrance volume than other natural waxes. However, coconut wax is very soft (similar to coconut oil at room temp). In ScentSation candle making process, both coconut and soy wax are combined to allow for more fragrance oil than just a soy candle, but to give the candles body or firmness. If only coconut wax was used, it wouldn’t hold its shape. Soy wax has a lower fragrance load than coconut oil. This fierce combination of coconut and soy wax is used because coconut wax is known to have a high fragrance load, but it is very soft (again similar to coconut oil) so it’s combined with soy wax to give the candle body.
Every Coconut and Soy candle is hand poured in Charlotte, Michigan using a creamy fusion of coconut and soy wax that’s blended in house. The unique fragrances including Blueberry Bliss, Luminous Lilac, Strawberry Sublime, Vanilla Vice, Frankincense Phantasia, Lavender Starlight, and Legendary LemonBerry have an amazing scent throw. The 9 ounce candles have an approximate burn time of nearly 80 hours. These premium candles with a combination of coconut wax and soy wax are highly scented, slow burning candles that everyone enjoys!

Photography of Tom Kelly

The Big House Framed Print by Photography of Tom Kelly

The Big House Framed Print by Photography of Tom Kelly

The photography by Tom Kelly includes high color photos of Lake Superior, beaches, lighthouses, and ore docks. The photos are available in ready to frame prints and ready to hang stretched canvas prints.
Tom really loves shooting picture around Lake Superior because of the seasons and weather which makes for great photography that leads to color photography. The type of high resolution color prints produced are colorful because more color techniques are added to the image to bring out colors and especially more detail to every print.
The photography by Tom Kelly is intended to evoke memories for people who travel through and around Michigan. When you view the images of the beaches, the islands, the tall beach grass, or the waves on Lake Superior, you may remember a warm place where you or you family stopped to picnic or had a beach fire at sunset. Those are wonderful memories on Lake Superior.
The son of a physics professor and art teacher, Tom was born in Marquette Michigan and always exposed to arts, crafts and the wilderness of Michigan Upper Peninsula. At the age of twelve, Tom was introduced to a black and white darkroom and was immediately captivated by the magic that took place, processing film and producing a finished print.
Years later, Tom now has the the experience of black and white, color printing, lab work and now the digital age of photography. After photography and business school, Tom started a photographic business, working with the Ann Arbor Art Association teaching artists how to shoot slides of their art work to present to galleries.
Tom’s next venture was Aerial photography – up in the sky, taking pictures of land development, progress shots of construction projects and photos for realtors needing aerial shots of hard to see homes. It was 1982 when Tom took on a new challenge to aerial photograph his favorite football team the Wolverines of the University of Michigan and the Michigan Football Stadium from the air. Many of these photos would end up being used in Toms stock photo shop. After that, Tom then spent some time in the biomedical department of the University of Michigan doing both camera and lab work.
Below is just a sample of the Photography by Tom Kelly offerings….
