Introducing Epilogue
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!
It's beginning to feel a lot like...

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!).
Spooky Soiree Under the Waxing Moon
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.





Spread Awareness & Hope in October

Practical Magic

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 Memory Sense
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?The "Smell" chapter of Diane Ackerman's book, A Natural History of Senses (first read to me in part by Brianna Colburn, one of the contributors to this project) is a most amazing experience. Did you know that violets contain something which short-circuits our sense of smell? And that it is almost impossible to describe a scent or smell without referring to another smell? Totally intriguing.
And what of our nature to describe love and experiences with smells?
Almost by accident, I recently opened the most scent-soaked story of human love, the Song of Songs (and versions can always be found with lovely illuminated pages). After revisiting this, I have been experiencing our own Los Olivos vineyards with an entirely new scent-memory {love}.
How will the candles evolve over time, and be loved?We had the good fortune of opening a 1966 bottle of Chateau Latour the other night, smelling and sipping "The Old Man" with good friends. If I could recreate the aroma and the LOVE... Leather and graphite and dark, dark currant, concealed and revealed by wonderful age. The group huddled around this still-solid bottle as it revealed its fine bones, enjoying its heirloom light. This bottle became the campfire of the evening, and the profound scent (and collective admiration) is still with me.

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.

Oh, for the lovelies…Bridesmaid Gifts
For your sisterhood…your best friend forever, your nearest and dearest, your twin sister, your polar opposite sister, your soon to be sister-in-law, and for that random bridesmaid who you were persuaded into adding to your bridal party (hey, it happens.). For your sisterhood in its many forms, here are some pretty special gifts to say, thank you for their love and support…and for that bachelorette party that got a little out of control.
For a glowing surprise, add a Baby Insignia Charm inside a Miniature Round Insignia Trinket Box, with an individualized initial for each bridesmaid. It’s perfect for keepsakes. Personalize the box with an initial or choose from this fleur de lis, a peace sign, or a croix.The Freeform Pearl Bracelet is a classy mix of traditional and modern…a thoughtful choice for the ladies who can pull off that certain charm. This graceful bracelet also makes a perfect accessory for your bridesmaids on your wedding day, so you could give them as your gifts and ask that they wear them on the wedding day.
Here’s a lovely way to combine all their charms in one storied cluster of sweetness. The Banner Charm Holder (in brass or sterling silver) opens to allow charms to dangle lovingly and securely, to keep their treasures safe and near to their hearts.
These Fragments Bangles will be poetry for their wrists…gentle reminders of love adorning with just the right words on golden brass or sterling silver.
