Color your childhood days with the Candle making Kits
A Candle Making Kit from the days of my childhood turned out to
be a most heartwarming trip down memory lane. Cleaning up the attic
one fine sunny day, I chanced upon a trunk that seemed unfamiliar
at first. As I lifted the lid and went through the contents, the
memories began to emerge. But it was when I found the Candle Making
Kit right at the bottom beneath all the old clothes that the trickle
became a flood.
I was transported back in time to a part of my life that I spent
at our little farmhouse, which was where I had got the Candle Kit
on my ninth birthday. The sunny fields of corn, the clucking of
chickens in the coop, the grunt of the pigs, the mooing, the chirping,
braying, there were so many sounds that filled out every day, as.
Thinking about it now, it seems no less than a miracle that I was
able to experience all these rare joys through most of my growing
years. Now of course, I'm a thoroughbred city girl clambering up
the corporate ladder. But there was a time when this focused Art
Director was a little girl with no agenda fixed for the day, but
to while the hours away with her precious Candle Kit.
Aunt Sally and Uncle Jo who lived in the city had gifted it to
me. That Candle Kit became my constant companion for much of my
isolated childhood. There weren't many children to play with in
the neighboring farms so I was by myself most of the time.
There were candles of all shapes and sizes all over the house.
In fact this is my earliest memory of having used my imagination
capturing it in wax. No doubt, this same part of me is what emerges
when designing corporate logos of multi-million dollar firms. It
is really the Candle Kit I should thank for getting me a head start
in life.
