To cap off the end of the year, all of our hard work is introduced in the gift market where buyers from all over the country visit showrooms to get a first look at brand new product. This is where they can get their hands on our print catalog and stock Waxing Poetic in their retail stores.
A few nights ago, our staff (and significant others) boarded a wine country bus (stocked with lots of cheer) and sang our way down the coast to our company bowling party for a much needed competitive decompressing after a super busy season. And bowl we did. Not to mention lots of toasting, eating, and all-in-all general merry-making.
What comes next?
The great beginning after the story ends… a loophole for a sequel, if you will.
This, darlings, is an invitation to keep going – and so we invite you, please:
take these retired characters, objects, icons, ingredients and create something unanticipated,
but equally (or more) important. Keep living, and doing, and sharing the story:
because in doing so, you help rewrite the world.
We’re pleased to unveil, Epilogue where you will discover some of our favorite retired pieces. If you are a Waxing Poetic collector or looking for a perfect holiday gift for your special someone, be sure to check out Epilogue soon as these items are available in limited quantities and will not last long!
Olde Fashioned Christmas ingenuity is running high in our amazingly charming jewel of a town, in preparation for this magical evening. Waxing Poetic’s creative team (a.k.a. – all of us!) is crafting a wonderland of our very own (and some sweet surprises for the kiddies!).
Our recent Halloween party at our flagship boutique in Los Olivos was a huge success. Thank you to everyone from our Waxing Poetic family who was able to attend and share in this fun event with us!
Our boutique was eerily decorated for the freaky festivities with cobwebs, black pumpkins and even a graveyard.
We are in process of gothing-out (WP style, of course) our retail store out in preparation for a “Ladies’ only” evening of Halloween cheer next Wednesday, Oct 13th. With surprise gifts for our guests, our Practical Magic event is one not to miss!
The spooky soiree will include drinks, light “dark” fare, special guests and discounts. Email rsvp@waxingpoetic.com for your invitation if you have not received one!

The most pleasurable task of creating our first candle “story” for Waxing Poetic has recently begun, and our offices are awash with all sorts of intoxicating infusions. Memories of “time and place” smells are surfacing, and we’re approaching this project much the same way we do when we make jewelry…What memory will it hold? What does it conjure?
We are thrilled that more than 1,400 stores across the U.S., Canada, U.K., and even Japan are carrying the Waxing Poetic jewelry line. We think you’ll love our retailers as much as we do, so we will be featuring one retailer each month here on Proof. We’re delighted to introduce to you More Than Words in Germantown, Tennessee!
Welcome to More Than Words! Thank you for joining us. What makes Waxing Poetic special to you? We love that friends and even strangers will ask to hear the story behind a necklace. It is a great conversation piece…who doesn’t like to tell their own story and talk about their family?
What are your favorite collections? We love the Square Insignia Charms with the serif letters. The lettering makes me think of kings and queens in their grand castles.
What are your favorite pieces? We like the Fleur de Lis and Cross Dog Tags for a bolder look. The Storybook Pages “When You Wish” and “Once Upon a Time” bring back cherished memories of childhood and fairytales.
What are your customers’ favorite collections? Our customers love the Square Insignia Charms, Round Insignia, and Baby Insignia charms. These are the foundation pieces of Waxing Poetic and they are still selling strong!
What are your customers’ favorite pieces? Our customers’ favorite pieces are the Large Rolo Chain and Medium Rolo Chain, specifically the 18”. They also like to add interest to their collections by adding gold charms.
What do you like about carrying Waxing Poetic’s line?
Quite often we get women who are so excited to start their own necklace, but are a little lost. They ask “Ok, so what’s the right way to do this?” or “How do I start?” They are always relieved that there is no right or wrong way to do it, that you can’t possibly mess it up. All of us at More Than Words LOVE the Waxing Poetic line! We are always excited to wear and show it because there is something for everyone.
Thank you, More Than Words!
