trapp private gardens

jill and i had the opportunity to participate in a focus panel for the candle company, trapp private gardens, back in october! it was a fun experience getting to have input on many different fragrances that trapp is considering as they expand their line in 2011.

i just received a thank you box full of a fabulous spread of trapp products and couldn't be more thrilled!!! everything smells delicious from the home fragrance mist to the hand-poured candles and reed diffusers. i also received a few products from the evoque line by trapp. i love the stylish evoque packaging with their metal boxes and lid that contains a gift tag, information about the candle, and matches...

while out shopping around kc this weekend i spotted trapp candles several places and was reminded of the wonderful seasonal collection fragrances. white fir, orange clove, and holiday are all perfect ways to feel festive at home this holiday season. and what a lovely stocking stuffer for a mom or sister or a hostess gift for all of those holiday parties coming up!!!

it was an honor to be a part of your panel, trapp, and thank you for all the fabulous smelly good goodies!!!
