PRESS RELEASE:
Just in time for the holiday season, Debbie Schrodt, owner of Pink Pig Cottage Antiques and the new Pink Pig on Main Street in Westport, New York, has introduced a beautiful natural soy candle.
This 7.5 oz straight glass candle is packaged in a pretty white box tied with grosgrain ribbon and would be a perfect hostess gift for that special holiday event to which you have been invited. The embodiment of strength and femininity, this exquisitely scented candle is blended with the delicate floral notes of Tuberose, Indian Jasmine, Lavender Buds, Geranium Petals and White Rose. Debbie says that she “has spent numerous hours with lots of help developing the scent” for this first annual candle in what will be a new series of six soy candles available at the Pink Pig.
Scented soy candles distribute more aromatic flavor…the incorporation of soybean oil lowers the melting point of the candle, which translates into cooler burning candles and faster scent dispersion. Also, the lower melting point of soy wax results in a larger size of the liquid wax pool around the candle wick. Did you realize that it is from the wax pool of candles that the true scent evaporates into the atmosphere? That is exactly why Debbie worked so hard to develop her own special scent for this delightful new candle.
Soy candles are a favorite for environmentally conscious people because they are not made from petroleum like paraffin candles. Burning of soy candles does not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere. Soy candles last longer, and this newly available candle burns for approximately 60 hours.
Another benefit of soy candles is that they produce about 90% less carbon soot than paraffin candles. This is especially important for families whose members have allergies or asthma. It’s also a great benefit that furniture and walls are not coated with soot, which is often the case for those who burn regular paraffin candles in their homes.
Salespersons in either Pink Pig Shop will be delighted to help you select these soy candles for so many on your holiday list…and don’t forget those friends who celebrate their birthdays this winter season. At only $24.00, this new soy candle answers all of your shopping needs for that special person on your list. Take the drive to Westport on Lake Champlain or shop online at www.pinkpigwestport.com and see all of Debbie’s gifts, home décor, furniture and primitive antiques. The Pink Pig shops are truly one stop shopping for your holiday gifts.

So what is a Hoosier Cabinet anyway? A true farmhouse piece for any country kitchen is the Hoosier Cabinet and has become a highly sought-after antique. The Hoosier Manufacturing Company was founded in the late 1800's in Indiana. Their design of taking a baker's cabinet into a compact design became very popular. Hoosier Cabinets were mostly sold between 1900 and 1930's and believed to be invented by J.S. McQuinn in 1899. Most cabinets had numerous drawers and doors including racks and large bins for storing flour and sugar.
