Berlin, Berlin!

Our Berlin, Berlin! candle is now in the shop! Its chocolate and cinnamon scent is perfect for the coming season- like sitting in a cozy chair eating bon bons while your oven is baking brownies, cakes, and puddings! The glass features a gold and bronze hand-painted (by me) chocolate.

Wooden task lamp
