Soy Candles in Vintage China Cups? It's ok :)

Fancy That is thrilled to be carrying soy wax candles poured into vintage china cups and saucers handcrafted by The Pink Fence.

Reservations about using vintage cups to burn candles? Don't worry :) Here's a little primer (see below) about these unique and lovely candle holders, and just how easy it is to re-use the cup after the candle is gone.

Soy wax melts at lower temperatures than normal paraffin (used in main-stream candles). The soy wax, depending on additives, melts at between 130F and 180F. The only part of the wax that gets to "flashpoint" is at the tip of the wick where the "fire" is about 450F. Any melted wax stays between 130F and 180F.

Compare that temperature to placing boiling water in the same china cup… 212F. The water may stay above 200F for over 5 minutes, putting three times as much stress on a china cup when drinking tea than burning soy wax as a candle.

And when the candle is done (some of the candles can burn for over 20 hours), you have a beautiful keepsake that can be enjoyed, and used for years and years to come :)

So stop by Fancy That’s Shoppe Friday 11am-3pm, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5pm and select your favorite soy candle in a vintage china cup. (psst! They make a great Holiday Gift!) If you can't stop by, and would like one mailed to you, drop us a note or call toll free 1-888-3232-TEA....we are always happy to help! Thanks for stopping by! :)

What are you doing October 22? Fancy That's fall Open House

Now, we're tickled pink to also offer you a myriad of items for your shopping pleasure, such as flavoured teas, tea bread, imported jams and beautiful gifts and accessories, or as we like to say, "Gifts of Tea and Whatnot".
We invite you to browse the Shoppe, sample our truly amazing cinnamon tea bread and (or?! :)) pumpkin tea bread (so delicious we are excited to share it with you as free samples)!

We are looking forward to seeing you on October 22nd! No need to RSVP, just stop by our shoppe any time between 1pm-4pm. We are located at 272 Main Street (RT1A), Walpole, MA. We are on the 34E bus route (click here for the bus schedule). There is parking in the front of and in the rear of our shop. Please note: samples will be offered self-serve; this is not a seated event.




We are also thrilled to announce that we now offer beautiful vintage teacup candles for sale in our shoppe from The Pink Fence! Stop by on October 22 to see these lovelies in person. The candles are soy wax, scented, and lovingly made and poured into vintage china teacups and soup bowls. Once you are done with the candle (some of which will burn for 20 hours!), just clean the cup and you have a beautiful (and usable) keepsake!

We hope to see you at the Open House this Saturday, October 22nd from 1pm - 4pm. If you have questions, feel free to call toll free 1-888-3232-TEA. See you Saturday! :)
