We are a candle and gift store. We also host a variety of workshops. If you’re crafter and want a home to sell your products let us know.

We support local artisans by providing space to sell and showcase their handcrafted goods, offering an alternative location for them to distribute their unique creations. The goal of this business is:
* Besides selling Yo Soy Vella Candles I want to offer products MADE by artisans that take pride in their quality work while offering unique and one of a kind gifts.
* to offer GIFTS made by collective, diverse, small businesses that are local
* to offer support to small businesses and or individuals (whether its social media, taking pictures of products, etc)
* to also be A Third Place: (A third place is an anchor of the community and usually a public setting that hosts frequent and informal gatherings of people where we can collectively share knowledge that can help each business). We plan to host book clubs, walk clubs and a variety of events and classes by people with some level of expertise regarding their business and or experiences-do's and don'ts. We also want to mentor students about community and get them involved by pairing them with businesses. We hope to be a great addition to Garfield Ridge and surrounding neighborhoods and hope these vendors/artisan create a following to the point that they are comfortable with opening their own brick and mortar.

MONSTERS IN THE CLOSET? WE HAVE A SPRAY FOR THAT. 👻

Remember being little and wondering what might be hiding under the bed or inside the closet?

For some children, those nighttime fears can feel very real. That’s what inspired our fun collection of Monster Away Room & Linen Sprays.

Of course, we’re not claiming there are really monsters hiding under the bed! Instead, we love the idea of turning an old childhood fear into a fun and comforting bedtime ritual.

Let your little one take charge. Together, give the closet a spritz, spray around the room or appropriate linens, check under the bed, and announce:

“All clear!”

Then it’s time to settle in.

Our sprays are lightly fragranced with scents you’ll recognize from our candle collection, so while the kids may think they’re keeping werewolves, vampires and ghosts away, parents get a room that smells wonderful.

Choose your protection:

🐺 Werewolf Away — Harvest Moon
🧛 Vampire Away — Sunwashed
👻 Ghost Away — Rosemary Sage

Sometimes a little imagination is what creates the fear.

Why not use a little imagination to help make bedtime fun again?

Sweet dreams. Monsters not invited.

Game day recipes. Make a fresh and crispy tomato basil bruschetta on toasted sourdough in just 20 minutes. Want a little heat- top with a little salsa matcha!
Ingredients
• 4 thick slices of sourdough bread (cut 1/2 to 1 inch thick)
• 4 medium or Roma tomatoes (diced small, seeds removed)
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (thinly sliced)
• 1 clove garlic (halved)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Prep the tomatoes: Dice the tomatoes and remove excess seeds so your bread does not get soggy. Place them in a bowl with the salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and fresh basil. Toss gently and let the mixture marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Toast the sourdough: Brush both sides of your sourdough slices lightly with olive oil. Toast them in a pan over medium heat, on a grill, or in the oven at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and crisp.
3. Add the garlic flavor: While the sourdough slices are still warm, gently rub the cut side of the halved garlic clove directly across the top of each piece.
4. Assemble and serve: Drain any excess liquid from your tomato mixture. Spoon the fresh tomatoes generously over the warm garlic-rubbed sourdough. Serve immediately.
