Happy Monday everyone and happy first day of Spring! On Sunday, March 20th a few girlfriends and I gathered together for a fun afternoon of Candle-Making! I have NEVER made a candle before and thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to get together a few ladies and have another Girls Night In! My husband turned me on to candles many years ago and he truly loves them. We have them burning throughout the house all the time. So I was very intrigued to learn about this candle-making workshop.
There is a brand new Candlefish location here in Atlanta inside Ponce City Market that has been getting quite the buzz. I quickly reached out to them to put an event together. During the class we sipped on champagne, learned the art of candle making, how to take care of them, smelled over 100 scents, and then made our very own candles. It was so much fun and all the ladies really enjoyed themselves.
The girls that I invited this time around were buddies Tiffany, Ari, Jennifer, Yvette and my photographer Genae. I love making memories with women from all walks of life to bring together for a day of fellowship, laughter, networking, fun and more! Candlefish would be a great place to go for a bridal shower, girls night, birthday party, hey the sky is the limit! Check out all the fun we had together inside and I hope that you too will gather your girlfriends for a day of fun wherever you are and do the same or something similar! Enjoy…

This looked really fun, Tami and I know it smells amazing in Candlefish. I will have to keep this place in mind when I want to do something out side of the norm. You always find cool places to have quaint gatherings. Great post!
It was so much fun Bobbie thanks! xoxo
