My good friend Becky at Country Keepsakes makes some of the most delectable candles I have ever seen… and smelled in my life! I recently acquired $50 worth of her fantastic creations and have had a super duper, out-of-this world smelling house ever since!

Look what $50 will get you at her site:

I received Keepsake Lights Button Tarts, Keepsake Lights Little Lights Votives, Cinna Minnie Melts, Stars & Hearts Double Scent Melts in Cookie Jar Scents.

Cakes For One w/decorative plate, Orange Buns Cinnamon Buns, 2 Double Scented 8oz Mason Jars (French Vanilla Cappuccino and Orange Pineapple Marmalade) , Muffin.

Potpourri in Cinnamon Stick Scent – This is some really beautiful potpourri. It contains Red milo berries, Pintado hearts, anise stars, grubbed hearts, canella berries, cedar tips and more…. and oh it smells absolutely HEAVENLY!

The cakes for one, muffins and cinna-buns are very realistic looking and as darling as can be. Each one is highly scented and the perfect size to decorate with. Honestly, I didn’t burn mine. They are too cute. I know, I know what kind of review is this is I didn’t burn the candle? Well, I will burn them and I will do a follow-up review but for now I am focusing on the jar candles and the votives and saving my shaped candles for another day! :0)

On to the jar candles. FABO! Burn time is wonderful. I burned mine for about an hour and a half and reached a full melt pool. The candle burned and burned and burned and didn’t really ever seem to lessen. But after a few weeks of daily burning, you could see that is was lessening and it was cleaning the side of the jar as it burned which is great! Scent throw is phenomenal, scenting my entire house with one 8 oz jar candle. Snuffed the candle, went to town for a few hours, came home and WOWZER my house smelled sooooo good! And this was even in the middle of a septic tank crisis!!!!!! From pee yew to yummy! hahahaha.

Tarts/Melts – A joy to use. Melts wonderfully, excellent scent throw, darling shapes. I even use them as fixings in my potpourri and get a very nice scent.

Votives – Oh my gosh! We were re-arranging things so I wanted to leave as much stuff boxed as I could until after we decided what to do with everything. I unwrapped one of the coconut-lime verbena votives and gave it a good examination, fell in love but had to pack it back up for a few days. I placed it back in the box and set it aside and everytime the air would come on, I would be pleasantly surprised with a delightfully strong aroma of coconut-lime verbena. THROUGH THE CLOSED BOX! Wonderful, wonderful candles with or without burning!

Seriously, I liked these candles enough to become a rep and I don’t just sign up with any company, I have to really like what I see (or smell) and/or have to have heard some really high quality feedback. So this is a true high recommendation for Country Keepsakes.

Becky is an amazing chandler and a wonderful lady to work with. She has become one of my dearest friends and I can’t thank her enough for introducing me to her wonderful candles. Thank you so much Miss Becky!

Remember ya’ll, check back in a few weeks for the update to this awesome review!
