I sit by the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow flowers and butterflies,
in summers that have been. — tolkien

It is the last few weeks of summer, and what a perfect time to have a picnic. A top the small hill, you’re nestled on the blanket with your favorite snacks, and a hobbit friend at your side. As the tall grass sways, and bluejays and robins swirl around the party tree, you lay back and look up towards the blue sky. It’ll be autumn soon, but right now it’s summer in the Shire.

Enjoy the sweet scent of honey cakes moist and delicious, a sprinkle of nutmeg and spice, softly falling maple leaves, violets and daisies, sweetgrass drying under the sun, and homemade strawberry jam.

This candle comes with a specially designed moodcard that includes a moodboard and a little description about Picnic in the Shire.

Every good picnic deserves a lovely soundtrack. Lounge back on your blanket and let the tunes fill you up with a sense of calm. Find the Picnic in the Shire playlist on our blog here

Picnic in the Shire is a home made soy wax candle. Each candle is carefully poured in small batches and left to cure for five days for the scent to settle into the wax and allow for a nice hot throw.

Scented with fields, honeycakes, and strawberry jam.
