Happy Eid today to those celebrating 🥳🥳🥳

And a happy Wednesday to all the other lovely humans that share the love, light, and vibes of The Nice Place 🤪🫶

Pictured here is a Nice Smelly Thing amongst some happy daffies we picked from the pingle in my home village 🥰

It is a whole lotta candle made with The Enlightening Blend which contains peppermint, lavender, and eucalyptus essential oils 💥

This Blend is even bug repelling! So keeps pesky flies off ya food and surroundings when you're relaxing ✨️

If you are interested in making your own Smelly the next Smelly Session is Sunday 21st 2-7:30pm at our LOVE at Liquid Light Market 😎 at the Liquid Light Brewery NG3 2AD 📍

You can bring a pre-loved candle container to refill or repurpose something fun and thrifted into a candle! 🤯 Check out my Blends Highlight to have a look at the Blends you can make your candle with! 🕯

Pop Nice Smelly Things a message with any questions! 💌

We hope to see you there! 😛🫶💥

Happy Sunday people 🥳

If anyone has noticed, this page has had a bit of a make over! Changing into a Facebook account to represent my studio, The Nice Place ☺️

The Nice Place has been facilitating creativity and good vibes since November 2022 and is found in Roden House, Sneinton! Since then it has been the home to Nice Smelly Things, my eco-conscious candle business that features cruelty free aromatherapy and zero waste design 💚

Under The Nice Place I have also been organising makers markets and connecting the dots between other creatives in Nottingham. So stay tuned for plenty of small business magic and self expression ✌️

If you are interested in getting involved with the fun, sharing your creations at markets, or learning more about our Soul Shops we will be hosting, then pop me a message! ✨

Make sure to follow the madness on Instagram too! At 🤪

Ciao for now,

When the plants start taking over

18/08/2023

Colour palette on point 👌

Beautiful bold colours delicately sprinkled in these vivid shrubs and shapes 😎

Different leaf shapes and textures combined with sharp and soft edges of the blooms

I loooooooveeee the angular blooms of cornflowers! And these pink and white variations definitely hit the spot 🤤

Today back at one of my favourite gardens in Lincolnshire 🫶

Here is a side in the vegetable patch! We can see a cheeky bit of companion planting, with the marigolds amongst the courgettes!

There are also raspberries in the foreground and this beautiful clematis climbing up the trellis

That colour is divineeeee

Pretty poppies in pavement places

I love a plant that has the ability to grow in so many environments! 🥰

20/06/2023

Such vivid colours 🤯

A sucker punch of life and texture.

I haven't put it through my plant app but I think this spikey looking pink/green/blue/green fella is from the euphorbia family!

Which actually can cause a reaction to people's skin so refrain from touching this beauty, as its the inner sap that's most potent 😢

Rocky shore lines in Malta last week 🫶

So fascinating seeing all the places plants will grow in this landscape 😊

Who needs a van when you have Colin the Corsa 🤣

Colin's been through it for sure! After serving my brother for a few years, Colin has become my vehicle of transportation 😁 hence the baby yoda 😜

A golden stream of leaves, glowing with the golden rays of sunshine 🍁🌞

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with D 👁️

More sculptures spotted on my clients lands, so beautiful in any light but this golden hue makes their silhouettes really stand out 🌞

If anyone wonders what's on my Christmas List its a few sculptures like this 😜🎅🎄✨

01/12/2021

All the shapes in all the different colours 😊

Captured in the garden of one of my clients in Thurlby, they really did a good job of the colour palette when creating their garden 👏👀✨

WE LOVE

This photo is from the last two weeks! I have had a right mare as my phone broke and I've had to back up my photos, some of which have come out not so sharp 😅

But enjoy these autumn hues nonetheless 😁

Autumn leaves before they all fell off last week from Storm Arwen!

One of my clients has this lovely little lake/pond/body of water that is so pretty! 😍 Especially with their deer sculptors, so magical ✨

And check out that raw wooden bench on the right!

THIS COLOUR PALETTE GIVES ME PURE JOY ♥️

These chrysanthemums are a peachy, orange when they first bloom but after being exposed to the elements they turn into this lovely array of pinks & peaches 😍

Crispy blue days, but very chilly! 🥶

Rosy sunset skies 👀

We are so lucky here in Lincolnshire to have such beauuuuutiful sunsets!

Most likely because it's so flat here and the sun can roll over the fields forever 🤣

Mushies in the dew 😊
