Mother’s Day is coming up and I have the perfect gift! 🎁 @Thecandlevault in Frankfort, Illinois is a one-of-a-kind candle making experience.

There’s 100+ premium fragrance oils to choose from and blend together to create your custom scent. The candles are made with natural soy wax, organic cotton wicks, and clean-burning fragrance oils. This combination provides the cleanest burn, the strongest scent throw, and longest burn time. 📍114 Kansas St, Frankfort, IL

I headed outside city limits and ventured to Crete, Illinois, @Lottonartglass gallery & studios to be exact. This weekend was the annual Spring open house and I took a private tour and got to meet the very talented artists. Lotton is celebrating 56 years of 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐭. 😍

Since 1970 they’ve been creating hand blown, one of kind works of fine glass art. There’s hand blown vases, bowls, sculptures, paperweights, perfume bottles, lamps, pendant lighting as well as chandeliers. Make sure to check them out! @visitsouthland

📍24760 South Country Lane, Crete IL
