Hey friends! Whew, it has been a stressful few weeks. If you read my latest missive, you know that I had some issues with my host's payment processor, and I needed to get their tech team involved so that all the Autumn Box funds would be released to me. Happily, this has happened-- they told me it was a problem with Shop Pay, but it is reolved.
I am still finishing up the last of the August / Early Sept orders that do NOT include an Autumn box, and they will all be shipped no later than Wednesday. If yours was an order that was impacted, I sincerely apologize for the delay. It was out of my hands, but still not an enjoyable customer experience to have to wait longer for your goodies.
But on to the good news! The ghouls are rising from their crypts and the goblins are rattling their chains, which means Halloween is on the wind! To that aim, we are heading back to the magical town of Autumnvale for a cozy-cute Spooktacular jamboree!
This box, The Autumnvale Spooktacular, features a salt bar from returning favorites, Athame & Alchemy, a perfume from Deconstructing Eden, a stationery set from Part Time Princess, sweet treats from Sweet Cascades Chocolatier, an enamel pin from The Pickety Witch, and a candle and room spray from yours truly. 
We also have our Halloween Candle Collection ready to go. This year, we have half returning favorites, and half new delights, including two scents inspired by Edgar Allan Poe.
New! Apparition: A strange glow in the distance, an omen of what's to come. Late-harvested apples, poisonous lily of the valley, crystalline ginger, vanilla patchouli, and the fleeting scent of the sea.
Hallowe'en Tradition: Smashed pumpkins, fallen leaves, and the smoke of a candle blown out too early.
Midnight Mass: The skeletal ruins of an ancient chapel, where the prayers of the nightly office still ring out at midnight, and the scent of ghostly incense still lingers in the air. Frankincense, myrrh, smoked oud, cedar, olibanum, and clove leaf.
New! Nevermore: A foreboding refrain. A worn leather armchair, tobacco pipe smoke, rich ambered incense, and the flapping of dark wings.
New! Red Death: Black cherry wine flows merrily, heedless of the encroaching dark. There is a strange and sinister smoke on the winds, and poisoned berries trail in its wake.
Sleepy Hollow: The foreboding scent of flickering jack o'lanterns, oudh, leather, and unearthly incense.
And finally, our Halloween Triple Layer Candles!
Longtime fans will recognize Spooky Season, our ode to darkling haunts, and Trick or Treat, our Halloween candy bag for those with a sweet tooth. This year, we've added Grim & Grinning, a tribute to a famous house with many happy haunts. Take a twirl around the ballroom, catch the scent of spectral lace, and sing along with the graveyard ghosts.
The Autumn Box is currently in production, with the contents set to arrive to me in the next 10 days, then it will be on its way. TAT for Halloween orders WITHOUT a Halloween box is currently 3 weeks to allow for shipping delays from my suppliers (who are all handling the tariff nightmare with grace). That's all the news that's fit to print. If you hage any questions, please email!
Warmly,
Christina
