2021 Beeswax candles in your CHRISTMAS BOX. Come and chat to everyone in the workshop! 

Kate, I just found you last week and I have say that I really have loved your videos. I've been binge watching and don't know when I will get caught up but it will be alright. I have learned a lot from you. I'm starting back trying to learn how to hand quilt. I love making things which I quilt, crochet and sewing other projects. I've also done wood working and enjoyed that also. I appreciate all you do. Vivian from Southeast Alabama in the USA.

I love watching that hot wax turn from amber to butter yellow and back again before your eyes. I always think the people making them must have such lovely soft hands. It looks tedious and hard on the back...and yet peaceful and almost zen. Lovely.

Just absolutely wonderful. Local artisans interviewed by a local artisan. You just happen to be one of the absolutely wonderful people on this Earth. Thank you for sharing everything you know and do. .

A friend gave me a pack of colored candles and I ordered rainbow ones last year AND I had some from the Christmas box in the past...they are the BEST candles! Right now there is a green one on my morning alter. I love having this connection with you all!

I love seeing the people working their magic on the products......so great....

Nothing like the smell of a pure, unadulterated beeswax candle.

Showcasing the talented local makers and artists on your videos is such a lovely idea Kate. It is quite interesting to meet them and get a little glimpse into their craft. Thank you Anna for your part in this adventure.

I could watch the candles being dipped all day as i found it so memorising. Fascinating workshop.

The small candles that Jude is packing up are perfect for a menorah during Hanukkah 🕎

Have been fascinated by the beeswax dipping. The colour going quite pale as they emerge, then darkening to that lovely beeswax colour as they harden.

What a special video. Are all the English boys so lovely? Those purple candles are stunning. Thank you so much for this. It is comforting to know that these handcrafts can be profitable for people. Such a treat to be able to see this!!!!!

I could watch those candles being dipped for at least half an hour straight!

I'm feeling spoiled getting to hear your voice every day.

thank you Kate and Anna lovely visit and so happy to meet Ted and hear you chat with him, have a lovely day x x x x

Kate, I’ve never observed how they make candles before and enjoyed the people too. It is fun ! And I loved it- Thank you, Kate💕

I’m going to pay attention this Nov (2023) for this year’s Xmas boxes! Very special.

Colorado USA is 12 noon when the boxes go live! Love watching you for years now!!!😁

Oh I could watch the dipping all day......such a pleasing sight...and sound (and I can imagine it smells wonderful!).. It's so lovely to meet Ted and the makers....and I never tire of seeing other artisans workshops. What a beautiful video, I thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you.

Love the accompanying music and meeting your gifted friends ....Kate, when you mentioned Cumbria I remembered my dear friend Sheila whom I met on the internet. We both had a grandchild with a rare genetic disorder and we bonded. Sheila lived in Cumbria and she and her granddaughter actually came to visit me here in Canada...she passed away 2 years ago and I miss her...thank you for sharing your days with us...

What a treat to see traditional crafts still being done.

For sure fun to watch those being dipped. Those purples are SO PRETTY. Always enjoy when you visit the candle making shop.

How fascinatingly wonderful to see candles being made. Thank you Kate.

I love to see a successful shop making' a go of it. Low tech, high quality, and big on the human connection. Thanks for sharing.

It’s Santa’s candle workshop! 🎅🏻

Don't you just love the colour and smell of beeswax candles? 😍 I love the shape of these.....Enjoyed the trip to the candle makers ...fascinating especially how they dip for colours and what lovely smiling people.... So on another note I must apologize on the last video and comment I left yesterday I misspelled your little guard ducks name so edited and all fixed now ..😊❤

Candle dipping never gets old.

Wonderful to see artisans at work! Well done on the photography Anna!

How fun to see and hear about how the candles are made! Thank you!

A very interesting visit Kate and Anna, thanks for taking us along. Always lovely to see the crafts and talent.

Brilliant advertising for the Christmas boxes, Kate. With every video, I get more and more excited to make my purchase!

I am loving these vlog of how all the items for the patron Christmas items coming together. It so so interesting to see all the hard work that goes in to make the candles by Teds team. Thank you to Anna for her wonderful vloging.

How has Ted remained unchanged for 25 years? It must be all that cycling! Lovely to see the legend that is Ted. Thank you x

Always fascinating to visit Ted's and was lovely to meet all the people there. I was beginning to think I could smell the beeswax, there's something very soothing watching the dipping.

Awesome tour...thx. Waynesville NC USA 🇺🇸 Veteran 💜

Fascinating how they’re made, the colours etc.nThanks Kate and friends. 💖🇦🇺

I’m hand dipping beeswax candles for my family as a Christmas gift.

This was a lovely episode Kate... thank you. I'm almost 43 and had a candle making business since I was in my early 20s. I've closed it a few years ago as my kids didn't really see me or properly know me due to 16hr work days. It was a good decision to close the business although sometimes I do miss it, however I still make candles occasionally for us and family. I have continued the creative path though, but this time from home. Apart from painting, I have also started a youtube channel recording my journey through knitting, spinning, weaving and gardening. It is a real pleasure watching your videos, the realness is invaluable... so thank you. I'm glad you are feeling better. All the blessings from Cyprus. Ivana ❤️

Thank you for sharing your channel and highlighting talented artist. Love the intro, I was drooling over those beautiful quilts behind you. I love these little road trips. 😀👏

Oh, this was wonderful! Thank you for taking us along.

I've never seen candlemaking - so interesting - and Ted is a hoot!

The wee ones look like the ones for Hanukkah 💕

Loved seeing the candles being made and enjoyed the background music.

I always love a trip to the chandlers! I can almost smell the wax.

How fascinating to watch! Thank you Kate and Anna.

Ohhhh, I could smell the beeswax!

What a wonderful workplace, my kind of place. All the people were lovely. Magical. Thank you for sharing😁

Kate, Good to see & hear you. I have enjoyed watching you and your Charming Family & Friends, "stand up for you" to entertain & share while you were under the weather. Well done! I like this field trip you planned. Beeswax candles I use, but something I just didn't think about. I enjoyed watching the process And people as well as the tour of the shop. Thank you.

My favourite colour!!!!! Would absolutely LOVE to have some to enjoy! Fascinating! Thankyou for the lovely visit. Purple.....mmmmmm.

I loved seeing how the candles are made and all of the work involved. I was curious to see what they did with the leftover wax colors and you asked that question. It's nice to see the people who work there. I'm glad it's not a lost art.

Wow what a treat to go with you inside the wax room..really interesting and yes Kate I'm with you on the .. I could pack those candles all day long..what a beautiful calming job.

I really enjoyed watching the candles being made. Thanks for bringing the lime green sofa to the candle maker!

Fascinating! Love the chubby candles the best!

Very interesting and a lovely idea to share suppliers /friends work.👏👏👏

I loved this segment and the guys are all charmers!

This was fascinating. Thanks for taking us along to the candle maker. xx

Thank you Kate, that was fascinating I had no idea how candles were made, the little glass Christmas trees are so pretty. 🌸🙂

Wonderful! Beautiful! Thanks, Kate!!!!

I love watching the candles being made. The contraption they swing around on look like our Hills Hoist clothes lines that are iconic here in Australia. Thanks for taking us to Ted’s again. 🤓

I had no idea of the dipping process, and how much time it takes to fatten up those candles. Loved watching this video!

This was very interesting. It’s so lovely to see your smiling face again.

Loved watching the candles being made. Thank you for another great vlog ❤️🇨🇦

I always enjoy seeing such creative people! I have always enjoyed tours. This one was wonderful. I bet it smelled lovely in there. I'm looking forward to more. Take care x x x

Loved this video. So interesting! I never thought about how candles are made. Absolutely fascinating

Watching the candles getting dipped is so much fun to see. They look so beautiful.

What a wonderful video! I didn't realize what goes into making candles. Thank you!

I still have a bit of Ted's rainbow candles left! I love them and can only imagine the heavenly scent of the beeswax in the shop. I appreciate the multi-generational staff and their hard work. Thanks for sharing, Kate!

Am really enjoying these daily videos, thank you

This is a lovely experience. Thank you so much.

I love your you tube channel. It is always uplifting and wonderful. I’m glad you are doing better.

Kate, thanks again for your video. The candles are beautiful!! Be well.

Absolutely a brilliant video, really enjoyed seeing the candles being made.

What a lovely video. The purple candles are stunning. Take care💕💕

Facinating. Thanks for letting us see the process.

I still think you should do a quarterly box... Spring, summer and fall, as well as Christmas ⛄! Or maybe just start with a summer box? Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. 😷

I love how you support your local artisans!

Thank you for making the time to show us the makers and artists. I enjoy hearing them talk about their process and seeing the finished work.

So nice to see talented people making such beautiful things. We buy products in a store but never give much thought to the people who make it. Thank you for sharing their art with us Kate.

I love bees wax candles!

How lovely! Yes, it was wonderful to see how they are made and to meet the people who do all the steps.

Thank you that was wonderful to see Ted and his worker’s hard at it again busy time for all. Thank you Anna for all your work also . Big hug to all. 🦋🌈

Thanks for the tour! I'm relatively new to The Last Homely House so I'm not familiar with the Christmas boxes. They must be huge! I have no hope of snagging one but sure am enjoying learning what's going into them. 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed this fascinating podcast!

Hi Kate! Thank you for sharing. I was lucky enough to buy a Christmas box last year but I'm afraid as the years go on, more and MORE people are going to be after them and I may never get another box again. I'm truly grateful for the one I got! My star is hanging on my bedroom wall. ❤️

The candles are beautiful. Loved this segment . And I think the small candles could be used for Hanukkah too!

Such a treat to see the video this week....however I am really curious about your jacket Kate! Any chance you can give us a video on that????

I love these candles Kate and it’s brilliant to see them being made.

🤗 Thank you Kate and Anna for helping us see into such a fascinating shop. Such a personalized business and lovely candles. Take care both of you ladies.❤️

So relaxing. Beautiful people
