2020 Holiday Hours

Stocking stuffer #5... Candles by Beeswax Works. These high quality, beeswax candles are produced by hand in Ladysmith, just a stone's throw from Alcove! Here is how founder Chandler Jill Smith describes their process: Candle making is all about having a good rhythm; when I started, I used a metronome, and my background is as a dancer. So it’s all process; do this, do this, keep organized, like a chef moving around a kitchen. Creative and kinetic. I’m happiest when I’m moving. #beeswax #candles #handmade #beeswaxcandles #madewithlove #alcovequalcum #alcovelove #shoplocal #vancouverisland #qualicumbeach #supportlocal #ifounditinqualicumbeach #uniquelyoceanside
