*Reviews composed in 2021 Recently I was surprised by a teaser message and arrival of a small parcel at my door from an Indie Artist I know (thank you so much, Pixxi!) and I'm over the moon with my custom wearable art inspired by nature and history! May I introduce everyone to Sticks N Stone Bones. Where to start with this nifty little shop? They offer unique handmade items for the body and home that utilize the properties of wood to preserve fragrance which has been a practice for centuries and this is still effective as it was then as the scent they chose has lasted weeks now and I just ordered a pumpkin carving diffuser for my car (the designs are drawn then burnt into the wood piece and they come unscented so you choose the fragrance of your choice from your collection). Longevity is indeed impressive and you know I'm in love with the idea of waltzing about with a historic notion at my throat but how is the throw of the necklace? Again nature, science and history all triumph and create something magical as I have noticed a 4 to 6-foot throw alone and this has increased with simple body heat; the coin-sized piece of redwood acts as a fragrant beacon. I can't wait to sit down and decide which perfume will grace my car diffuser. My nifty little diffuser arrived all decked out in a themed parcel that even finished out with a free gift that gives back to mother nature and delights those of us that adore wildflowers! The diffuser itself is exceptionally made (no filmy plastic here, it's reinforced metal clips on the back), the design is stunning and my autumn roadtrips were complete with the delicious and inspiring aroma of all the pumpkins, spice and everything nice wafting around my car as I belted out all the seasonal songs and probably gave a show to those stopped at red lights, haha! In winter I went with peppermint and mint and the pumpkin still was detectable which was perfect for me (so these diffusers last months). For spring I think I'm going to go a more rosewater route as I found out recently that rosewater and a hint of spice makes magic for the senses. Highly recommend! SticksNStoneBones |
