I love candles! Who doesn’t? The National Candle Association recently stated that candles are burned in seven out of ten households – and those numbers are growing! Candles in my opinion make the perfect gift!Dana Elle’s offers beautiful soy candles in elegant artisan hand-blown glass containers. Carla Lesko, the owner of Dana Elle Candles works side by side with the Portland Maine Glassblowing company to create on of a kind glass holders for each sensational soy blended candle.  Each candle is claimed to burn for well over 70 hours. Many wonderful scents are offered such as Water Lily, Lavender Sea, and Cinnamon Bark to name a few.

This companies name comes from this artisans 4 year old daughter. Carla realized that developing a brand and raising a child share similarities. You hope to instill certain traits and values in your children that you also tend to express in your brand. Their products are graceful, elegant and creative. Our business is genuine, intelligent and charitable.

I was sent the “Pretty in Pink” candle which is a a blend of pomegranate, pink grapefruit, rhubarb and lemon zest. This is a special candle as each time it’s sold, 25% of the proceeds are donated to breast cancer research. I love the smell of this candle and look forward to lighting it each evening. It’s wonderful fragrance lifts my spirit and fills  my home with such a lovely smell.

I love the fact that all of Dana Elle’s products are created by local Maine artisans. I myself have lived in Maine for several years and grew to love all the wonderful local art.

I think these candles would brighten anyone’s day and make wonderful additions to the home. Do check out them out for yourself at www.danaelle.com.
