Isn't every day 'Mother's Day'?
To be honest, posts like this make me feel a little torn. On the one hand I really dislike being seen to be flogging 'stuff' and think that a lot of the problems we're experiencing in the world are because we have too much 'stuff', but on the other hand, I know that people are going to be buying gifts for their mum and if they're going to buy something then it would be remiss of me as a business owner and Australian manufacturing activist to not remind people that we're here and we make light and other goodies that are useful, beautiful and that actually has an employment and planetary benefit when bought.
If you're anything like me, you're still wondering what to get your mum for Mother's Day this Sunday (and if your mum is like my mum, she is telling you that she doesn't want/need anything). Thankfully my mum loves beeswax candles and still manages to muster a smile when I give them to her (for the umpteenth time)... although I do try to give her variety!
Of course we all know that we should live every day as if it were Mother's Day/Valentine's Day/Father's Day etc, but we get busy and so a day that reminds you to tell the important people in your life what they mean to you and that you love them is never going to be a bad thing in my books. .
Anyway, so this is just a gentle reminder that IF you are looking for something lovely for your mum for Mother's Day then giving her Australian made, bee-created light would be a really lovely gift. I reckon it's pretty difficult to go wrong with the Jam Jar Tealights, our Bee Lights (the Mini-Marilyn, Australian made, holders are one of my favourite things we make) or any of the beautiful candle holders.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mum's out there - we literally wouldn't exist without you.
Wishing you sweetness & light and all things bright,
Cate xx (mum to thousands of beeswax candles, surrogate mother to tens of thousands of bees on my balcony and motherer to many friends... and lucky daughter of Joanie B).
