Sometimes change is needed and change is a good thing. Starting in April, we will have a new look and a new name: Serpent & Flame. The first question I'll probably get is 'why?'. I've wanted to change the shop name for several years now but have been hesitant to pull the trigger. Over the last six years I've grown as a business owner and artisan. With this growth, 42 Nerdtastic Place doesn't feel like it fits me anymore. Nothing about the products will change aside from labeling and my web address. There will be some scent updates, retiring blends and...

You may have noticed a change on our product listings. The 3.5oz jar size has been replaced with the 5.5oz jar size that we had carried in 2018 and earlier in 2019.  With the cost of shipping up this month on all shippers, costs to get your candles to you and costs to get my supplies to me are raising.

2020 is going to see some big events in the shop so I have to make room on my shelves! I have a long list of blends that are retiring some permanently and some may return during restocks. The retirement date for all of these will be 1/31/20 to give you time to budget and purchase.  (Some say 12/31/19 on their page but I'll extend the date.) In February, you will also see a 'Candle Overstock' item appear where some of these blends may be available at a steep discount until supplies run out (much like we currently do with...

Black Friday weekend has approached faster than Barry Allen changing another timeline. Here's a shakedown of our sale for the entire weekend. Friday - Monday code SNOWY15 will get you 15% off all regular priced merchandise. Special edition items like mug candles and mystery boxes are excluded from this sale. Every order of $10+ will receive a mystery gift of $10+. The $10 is the value of merchandise you purchase after discounts and before shipping.
