Hello Beautiful You… And a big warm welcome if you’re new here! 💛

It’s been a little quiet over here, hasn’t it?

After releasing my Bali Paradise collection — a celebration of love, slow mornings, tropical colour, and dreamy island vibes — I took a step back to rest, reflect… and pour my energy into something a little different behind the scenes… A rekindled spark!

(If you missed the collection release, you can still explore it here: View Bali Paradise)

But before I dive into that…

For those who don’t know, a few years ago I was juggling three creative businesses: my art, the Mixed Media Store (now winding down), and teaching workshops — with a little candle-making on the side (because apparently I thought I had superpowers 🤦‍♀️😅).

Eventually, I hit pause on everything… sold my house, and went on a six-month campervan tour around Australia with my hubby and doggy Elliot — just us, the open road, and the space to breathe again.

And slowly… the spark came back.

Lately, I’ve been quietly rekindling one of those dreams — and I’m so excited to finally share it with you.

I’m bringing back my line of handcrafted candles and home scents, this time woven with the same joy, colour, and emotion I pour into my paintings.

Each scent is designed to awaken something within you — a memory, a mood, a sense of calm. And the vessels? Let’s just say, they’ll feel like little artworks in their own right 🔥

It’s still early days — I’m testing, refining, making a beautiful mess — but I wanted you to be the first to know. This community has been part of my journey for so long, and I can’t wait to share more with you soon.

While I’m tinkering behind the scenes (especially over on Instagram), I’d love to hear from you:

What kinds of scents do you love most: Fresh | Earthy | Sweet | Floral | Woodsy | Foodie…? Do you have a favourite?

Leave me a comment below and PLEASE tell me — I’m all ears (and nostrils 😂).
And I’d love your input (and your inspiration!).

More about my rekindled spark soon!

From my colourful little world to yours,

xx Mimi
