Spring is officially in the air, and it’s a glorious feeling. Out of the bleakness of January and February, there’s light and the promise of a new tomorrow. Birds are chirping, flowers are emerging from the soil and the sun is reaching through the clouds.
It’s so easy to associate spring with floral scents, but I wanted to share some different spring-like candles with you, that represent spring in all its forms and temperamental weathers. There are fields of wild flowers, but there’s also rainfall and hot cross bun baking. Celebrate the season of new beginnings with these five perfect spring scented candles.
