I love a good give away. And this week I've got THREE, yes, TRES, count 'em TROIS West Third Brand Candles to give away to a lucky winner.
Without apology, I'm a candle snob. I'm a tough customer and I've been a huge fan of this line ever since I bought my first from Audrey {@ Urbanic in Venice Beach} The cool glass votive container alone, with the etched Peacock feather, was worth a second look, but inhaling the lovely, heady scent had me sold.
They burn beautifully with a fragrance that is a complex layering of aromatic essences that at times can be detected individually and at others, as a harmonic compilation {I take my smells seriously} This one is 'Cassis de Cassis' , which combines rich black currant, top notes of bergamot, licorice and black pepper finished with the freshness of Norwegian pine and the sweetness of myrrh.
"West Third believes Quality defines luxury. Hand poured with a proprietary natural coconut wax blend, the finest lead-free wicks and crafted with the finest perfume and natural oils available."

Personally { i.e. WTB, does not endorse this use of their product } I love to pour a bit of the warm oil on to the back of my hand once I've blown out the candle. The fragrance smells wonderful and it leaves your skin super soft.
OK! on with the give away. Just leave me a comment. And please, make sure your email is linked to your comment. That's it!
small print:: Give away ends, Thursday, July 22nd, 2010, 11:00 pm PST and will be announced on Friday, July 23rd, 2010. I will make every effort to carefully package and ship your winning candle. However, if for some reason, it gets damaged during shipping, please don't be an entitled jerk about it. It's a give away. Don't get greedy. I'll do my best. Love you!!! xoxo. Viel Glück.

oh i love the packaging of the candle!!
I love love candles and that one sounds yummy!
Mmmm, you had me sold at "bergamot" - I'm going to be watching for West Third candles now, what a lovely blend of scents!
I just moved into a new 'old' house...it's got good bones & lots of charm, but as my girls have continuously pointed out, it doesn't SMELL like one of our homes yet. These would surly do the trick, as I am a candle snob myself. and I hold my head high! ;)
it really is a fantastic give away!

I love candles - any time of year, but right now especially on my front porch after dark when the fireflys are out.
I just came across your blog about a week ago and I love it!!! You always have the most beautiful images! The peacock feather motif on the candle is just my style and I would love to win. Great giveaway-thanks for the chance!

Maybe it will bring me luck to be first! I love your blog...its the best. Thank you for your thoughtful, honest and inspirational posts!

That candle sounds divine! I am such a candle snob, and it's so hard for me to find candles I really like and want to buy again.
A good candle is hard to find! I am in love with peacock feathers so this candle was meant to be mine!
Beautiful candles - hope I can make one of them mine!

I also love a good candle. My email is 53eggplant@charter.net. If by chance I win, we are leaving on vacation Wednesday so please know that you will hear from me. Thanks!
I love a good candle! i've seen these in the store but have yet to purchase one. Would love to be the winner! Thanks :-)
Mmm, I love trying new candles.
This scent sounds amazing!
great giveaway, sounds like it smells wonderful! and I love the feathers!
Megan- Where is Urbanic? I love love love candles and have been using them for over 15 years. My first candle was Illume Gardenia until Illume sold out to Illuminations. Talk about a candle snob. I wrote to the company telling them the candle didn't smell the same and they swear they didn't change a thing. Not so. When you know your candles you know when something changes. I'm dyinng to try this one. Hmmm. Have to check it. What other kinds to they offer?
great giveaway! thanks for the opportunity.
I'm a candle snob too, but you've got me sold!
Why doesn't my husband understand the wonderfulness of a good candle? Maybe this one would change his mind...pleeaaase? :)
Thanks, Megan!

Karen {gardenhomeandparty.com} said...I love great candles. The best ones scent the room somewhat subtly yet leave a lasting impression. I'll have to search for this brand.
fun! I love candles!
good candles are hard to find! love your blog...it always gets my creative juices flowing :)
kat_campesi@hotmai.com
Beautiful!
I am currently searching for a candle. THE candle. I think I love this one. And you pouring wax on yourself? PRICELESS. (Because I would do that too.)
Also a lover of scented candles & now that i'm in a house by myself i can indulge to my hearts content. (as long as they are cat-tip-overable-proof) which votives seem to be. Would LOVE to try these on for size!!!
Love scented candles, but have not seen these. Where can you buy these and smell the line? Thanks for the giveaway!
and since i'm a blog virgin and really don't understand much how this stuff works, here's my e-mail for the previous comment ^_^ sgist.taylor@netzero.com
If it smells as fabulous as it looks, count me in!
I LOVE a good candle! Always on the lookout for a good one. Thanks so much...and i promise if I win, get the candle, and it happens to be broken, I will NOT be an entitled jerk! :)

Sounds really nice. If I don't win I'll have to buy!
Count me in, Megan!
As I cannot afford a vacation the next best thing is to have a great scent - inhale deeply, close eyes and transport myself to another place. I think this candle might just do the trick......
As I cannot afford a vacation - the next best thing is to mentally transport yourself to some fabulous locale. How do you do this - well you smell something so good like this candle and close your eyes and voila!
thanks
Louise
Thank you for the opportunity! Love your blog! Good luck all! xxoo
Bath & Body Works had an aromatherapy line that they carried called Awake in the scent of bergamot coriander. I loved this scent so much. I would always buy the candles and the lotion. My husband would use the lotion on his face and neck every morning after he finnished shaving. I loved the smell on him more than I did on myself! Wouldn't you know they discontinued only this scent from their aromatherapy line. Please,please,please give me this candle; I've got to smell my favorite scent again! mcarrere@cebridge.net
Oh how I love your commentary....entitled jerk! Bahahaha...I would love to pamper my sniffer! Thanks for the chance...

These are beautiful!

@MacaroniKidNYC
These are gorgeous candles!
Lovely give away!
Hope it's nice down by the beach during this heat wave.
Happy day!
And the OTHER best thing about these candles is that they're the slowest-burning candle on the market. And I'm not just saying that because Michael from West Third's my best friend...they really are the best.
Sounds yummy - thanks for the giveaway.

Oooh, pick me!!! :))
Megan, I Live a simple and beautiful life and your photo's say that to me. Thank you for your blog and the time you put into keeping it so enjoyable. Love, Mo
I too am a candle connoiseur! I am really into Akeewakee Candles made in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Their scents are multi dimensional and the packaging is so gorgeous that I hate to open the candle!
West Third Brand sounds equally delicous. Thanks for posting a giveaway. Love it! Janice tideswest@bellsouth.net
The candle is beautiful but when I saw the creamy statues a long side it, it was "be still my heart"!
xo,
nancy

Beautiful Candles, Beautiful blog.
Would love some scented candles.

My best friend from high school lives in Manhattan Beach and I live in North Carolina. She is a successful real estate agent and is remodeling her home now and will be living in cramped quarters while the work is being done. If I win, I would like for her to
have the gift to enjoy during the stressful days ahead.
