Made in Michigan: Lemon Verbena Soy Candles by Green Daffodil Soy Candleworks

You know that segment on Oprah where she shows off and gives away her Favorite Things? Well, this is my version of that. “Colleen’s Favorite Things” has a nice ring to it, eh?
I am a scented candle fanatic. My entire family knows that if they don’t feel like buying yet more gardening stuff for me, a gorgeous scented candle is always a hit. Right now, I’m absolutely crazy for these Lemon Verbena soy candles from Green Daffodil Soy Candleworks.
First off, I’m a sucker for the container–a pretty, square stainless steel tin with lid and a very pretty label. But these candles are all about the fragrance, and I can tell you that it’s absolutely phenomenal. If you love lemon verbena you will adore these candles. These are high quality candles: they do not smoke, and they just seem to burn forever. I often have one burning while I’m working during the day. Just gorgeous.
To give you some background about the company, it was started by two friends from Ferndale, who started the business during one of our long, cold Michigan winters. They sell the candles at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center and through their Etsy shop.
So, because I love them, and because I love my readers even more, I’m giving away one awesome Green Daffodil candle in your choice of fragrance to a lucky ITGO reader. But you have to work (just a little!) for it. In the comments, tell me: if you could capture any fragrance in the world in a candle, what would it be? I’ll pick my favorite, you’ll pick which nature-inspired scented candle you’d like me to send you, and you’ll end up with an awesome Michigan-made product.
Deadline for comments is Sunday at midnight.
(And here’s the fine print, for those of you who may be wondering. I don’t know either of the ladies at Green Daffodil, and I am most certainly not being paid or otherwise reimbursed for mentioning the company. I love my state, and I want to start promoting some of my favorite locally-made products. I hope whoever wins the candle will spread the word about this great, eco-friendly company.)
