BryonySeries Artist Wednesday: "Valerie's Heavenly Scents" and How to Get a Free Mini BryonySeries Candle

THIS SUNDAY, December 23

Stop by Aunt Nina's Sweets 'N' Treats, 21121 Division Street in Crest Hill anytime between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. If you are one of the first five people to purchase a BryonySeries product, you will receive a free, mini BryonySeries soy candle made especially for the book series by Valerie's Heavenly Scents.

So far, three books in the BryonySeries are currently available for purchase on Sunday: Bryony, the 2012 holiday edition of Visage, and the official BryonySeries cookbook, Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony." All cookbook proceeds will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties (www.bbbswillgrundy.org).

Here's the story behind Valerie's Heavenly Scents:

Owner Valerie Burkholder began making candles in 2005. She began with paraffin candles and then switched to 100 percent eco-friendly soy wax candles as they are 95 percent soot free and burn longer, cooler and with better "scent throw" than other candles.

All candles produced by Valerie's Heavenly Scents contain coreless, lead-free cotton wicks. Burkholder offers a variety of scents and an almost limitless number of custom-mixed colors. In addition, Burholder also offers five scents in her BryonySeries line: Bryony, Purple Rose, Simons Woods, Lake Munson, and Sue's Diner.

Order Burkholder's candles from her site: www.valeriesheavenlyscents.com.
