Nature’s Gift Candleworks, Pillar Candles, Hand Poured, Golden, Colorado, Botanical Garden Candles, Made in Colorado, Golden’s First Fridays Coming Up on 1/4/13

This post is for all of you that might be heading out west for a little skiing.  It is that time of the year!!

I have finally started to enjoy my Botanical Pillar Candle.  I chose the French Pine.  The other day when it was cold and rainy, here at the Delaware Beaches….a little bit of Golden, Colorado, was very well received.

I bought this candle a few months ago when visiting my friend who lives on Lookout Mountain, outside of Denver.  Marisa took Cindi and I to all of her favorite stomping grounds.  Nature’s Gift was one of them.

I have gotten into candles this past year.  I love the ones with true scents. This company delivers just that.

Nature’s Gift is located at 1208 Washington Avenue, Golden, CO 80401.  Tel. 303-278-1690.  Website?  http://www.naturesgiftcandles.com.

The store was full of candles.  All through the store, you will be viewing beautiful botanical garden candles which have been inspired by the Rockies.

They are hand poured, then the real fruit is added, along with flowers and other botanicals to the outermost layer of wax.

Each is an original and I can attest that the scent is distinct, yet subtle, permeating through your home.

The candles can be purchased through the website.

But, if you happen to be going out west, the Historic Town of Golden is not far away from Denver.  It is located in Jefferson County.

The town is small with gorgeous landscapes.

The Colorado School of Mines is located in Golden.

And, also Coors makes Golden its home.

Walking through Golden reminded me of our own towns in Southern Delaware.  The town is being preserved, the river is enjoyed by so many.  It is worth stopping by.

If you are arriving this week-end, then, check out Golden’s First Fridays where you will find specials, entertainment, free horse-drawn carriage rides, and artists’ signings. Check the new shops or enjoy your favorites.

Have a good one!!

A Visit to Lookout Mountain in Golden, Colorado, took me away from the Delaware Beaches

My blog is my diary and it is taking me from the Delaware Beaches, at sea level, to Colorado, to much higher levels.  Definitely, a change of scenery.

Visiting my good friends, that live in Lookout Moutain in Colden,  Colorado.

Golden is located on the Colorado Front Range with easy access to Denver.  Buffalo Bill’s grave is in Historic Golden.

Lookout Mountain is one of the larger foothills which overlooks Golden.

My friends’ home reflect the Bolivian influence.  This is also where Joan Baez used to live.  Our guest house was their transmitting station for the music of the times.

The scenery is beautiful.  The caretaker, Wendell, has his own place which is a conversation piece in itself.

Leroy is the dog always watching for deer, elk, and bears.

Denver looked beautiful at night.

Our evening was one of laughter and catching up as we ate crabcakes.  Yes, I brought crab meat from Jimmy Lynn’s.

My posts may be a little erratic but they will be here or there during these 6 days.

Talk to you later….
