Now available… our holiday and Christmas candles! We have mistletoe… Christmas cookie (a sweet, sugar cookie scent)… home sweet home (a cozy cinnamon-y scent)… and gingerbread house.

I also have year-round scents: island escape… OKI… endless weekend… and twilight woods. All were my most popular scents at the stand. I am planning to add clean cotton, birthday cakes, vanilla cotton, lavender, lemon verbena and more very soon!

I ship my candles throughout the US. 📬📦 Please message me for more details.

If you’re local, feel free to message me and you can stop by my porch to check out our whole line of scents. I’m also planning to have a sale on a couple of Saturdays before Christmas… I’ll keep y’all posted on the deets. 😊

Thank you so much for all of your support of my small business!!! 🥰🎄🕯💗

I’m SO excited to finally reveal our new logo and candle line from !!! What do y’all think?!?

I’m starting off making our most popular year round scents from our days at the farm, including endless weekend… twilight woods… and island escape (previously called Caribbean escape)! I’m also adding a new scent named in honor of our island, Oak Island or OKI!

I’m also making four holiday scents this year ~ mistletoe… Christmas cookie… gingerbread house… home sweet home.

My candles are all made by me using all natural soy wax. These make wonderful gifts for the holidays… birthdays… stocking stuffers… gift baskets for realtors and/or folks who rent out their beach home… housewarming… and so many more ideas!!!

If you live locally, you’re welcome to come over to our home and check them out! Just let me know if you’re interested! I’d love to meet you! 😊 Or if you’re not local, I ship anywhere in the US! 😉

Thank you all so much for your support! I really appreciate all the likes… shares… comments etc!! Y’all are the best!!!! 🎉🕯🥰

Many of you will remember that we sold Ally’s treats the past few years at the stand… they were a huge hit! If you’re interested in supporting, please message my friend Jennifer Batozynski Marsh! Her message is below. Thank you!!!

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

💜💜Crohn’s and Colitis Week is nearly upon us again (Dec 1-7) 💜💜 and Ally’s 3rd Annual bake sale and fundraiser will be starting soon!

This year we will be offering the following:
1 Purple Rice Krispie treat
2 chocolate covered pretzels
1 whoopie pie or ribbon sugar cookie

We ask at least a $5 donation for each order (but more is great too as this is a fundraiser and we want to beat last years total!)

If you think you may want to order, please comment below. Just trying to get a ball park estimate. Pick up will be at my house (Nokesville) or my mom’s (Wellington area of Manassas)

Quick back story for all my “new friends”…
Ally was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in August 2020. After hearing about C&C week, Ally knew she wanted to help raise funds for awareness and medical advancements. Lo and behold, a bake sale!! We have raised about $8000 in the 2 years we’ve been doing this and want to raise just as much this year too

Thank you everyone for your support 💜

We were so happy to find farm fresh, dark yolk eggs here! Our 10 year old scrambled them up for breakfast tacos! They were delish!

Is it bad to admit that none of us miss having chickens to tend to? If we can continue to find local, farm fresh eggs…?!? Yeah, we’re good with that. 🤪

Let’s get it started!!! 🎶

I finally have some time to start planting a garden here and I’m SO excited!! I found my seed packets after hunting for them for a few days - hooray!! I also randomly happened upon a box of two seed starting kits I had forgotten about so bring it on! I’m going to start tomatoes, zukes, squash and flowers in my greenhouse!!

Im sharing two before pics… the first is my new-to-me greenhouse!!! 💚🌱 This was a huge bonus for a gardener like me!! I’ll be gardening on a 1/4 acre lot now so I’m going to need to learn new tricks of how to garden in small spaces… but I’m game bc I can walk to the beach to cool off afterwards!! 🥰

The second picture is of the raised beds left behind by the previous owner plus the raised beds from our farm. Im eventually going to use them all but I thought I’d share the before pics first. It’s super hot down south so I’ll be starting slowly. 🤪 Have any if you started a garden this late in the season?!? Am I crazy?!?! 🤣

Surprise, surprise… today is our last day with the stand open!! 🤯Today we got a great offer from a local to buy our stand so today is our last day… it’ll be open until 8pm! We were going to close soon so we could focus on our move, but we couldn’t resist selling the stand to be used as a chicken coop!! So cute!! 🥰🐓🐓🐓

We have only a few bottles of raw, Nokesville honey… a few of our soy wax candles… one big bottle of Virginia maple syrup… cute chicken and farmhouse decor FREE with any purchase! 😉 I’ll post up tomorrow anything we have left and we can arrange pick up. 💛

Here’s a picture of me and my sweetie on the island where we’re moving. 🌴 We want to thank all of you for your support the past three years! We have felt so fortunate to have met so many wonderful people through our work on the farm. I reallllllly hate saying goodbye… so instead I’ll say see y’all soon and hope you’ll keep following us as we continue our next adventure down south at the beach!! 🌻🌴☀️⛱

In our future dream home, we plan to start an Airbnb… keep making candles (which I can ship!! 😉)… Mr. RCF is going to continue to roast coffee and I am moving to a home with a big, beautiful greenhouse and lots of raised beds so I’ll continue to grow flowers to share with my new community. 💗💐💗

I also plan to re-start my Jars of Joy flower bouquet gives! We’re moving to a place with a lot of retirees so I’ll continue to grow and give flowers away in honor of my mom and you all who have so generously donated money. I still have a few bouquets to donate and I’m SO excited to do it there! 🥰💐💗🥰

Thank you so so SO MUCH for all the farm love over the years! Looking forward to sharing with you all our new adventures!!! Hope you’ll keep following along! Xoxoxo!!! ~ Erika 💗
