The judging results for the Royal Easter Show are in, and we’re absolutely thrilled to have a haul of medals again this year.
I was particularly excited to enter in the competition this year with a block of wax. Haven’t really been able to do that before because the wax has to be from your own hive. But now that I finally have my own hive, the bees and I went to work (OK, so the bees really did most the work) and we put in a killer block of wax and won a ribbon for Champion Beeswax. Get a load of that red, white and blue. More is definitely better. Bigger is also better. We’re going to be singing the Queen song at work on Tuesday. May even download it and put it on repeat! We are the champions my friends… we’ll keep on fighting til the end… we are the champions… we are the champions… Join in people!

Rolled candles
Second place for Rolled Candles
Third Place for Rolled Candles
(O.K., yes I know, we don’t really like the red and white ones as much as the blue ribbons… but then there’s years of therapy in resolving that one and at my age, I’ve come to accept that I’m a perfectionist… and that’s OK with me!)
Poured Candles
First place in Poured Candles
Dipped Candles
Second place in Dipped Candles
Got to be pretty happy with that haul.
May just sew them together and make a cover for the throne. No, not that throne, the other one.
I’m as happy (and awarded) as my new friend the lama. Although I don’t see any Champion ribbons there Mr Lama (and my breath is better too).
Happy lama

Congratulations Queen B! I hope this helps grow your profile. I agree the awards are well deserved, and will look forward to spruiking your award-winning candles over a series of dinner parties in the middle part of the year (will check my inventory and place an order soon). Well done! You should be so proud of holding to your vision of quality candles.
