We did our research
and found a candle company that uses soy because of negative information about
paraffin-based or soy-blend candles. Long Creek Candle Company uses
100% soy. Why would a person want to burn a soy-based candle from Long Creek, you ask?
Here are just a few reasons:
The folks at Long Creek recommend you burn the candle for at least 4 hours at a time for even burning. Hollow glass lids on the glass jar are filled with soybeans from which the wax is made; you can even plant them, and watch then grow! |

Mr. Mad
Bluebird Collection the original, famous Michael Smith photograph reproduced on items show to below. Prints:
Mr. Mad Bluebird and/or Mrs. Mad Bluebird - full-color 5" x 7" matted &
signed by Michael Smith (sorry, we're sold out of the "Mr. Mad Bluebird" stained glass piece by Glassmasters; however, several new pieces of Michael Smith's original Mad Bluebird are under development.) |
The Story... The Mad Bluebird is a famous picture of a bluebird taken by professional photographer Michael L. Smith in 1979 . Smith, an electrician by trade, is an avid birdwatcher who had spent many years worth of summer nights camping in outdoor conditions suitable for photographing birds. One day he set up a camera on a tripod in his backyard, about fifteen feet away from his fence, and waited inside with a remote-controlled trigger. He waited until he saw the bird facing the camera and then shot the famous picture. To date he has sold at least 128,000 signed copies of his photograph, and the picture has been reproduced on untold thousands more various pieces of merchandise, including throws, coffee mugs, and t-shirts. Smith has said he does not consider the picture to be one of his best. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (link leads you out of J.J. Cardinal site). |
