The Big Dipper

Wickman will soon be introducing four new candle "dippers." Wick dipping or quenching is a great way to snuff a candle while also preventing wick from continuing to smoke and smolder. The burning wick is instantly snuffed when submerged into the molten wax, leaving the wick coated and preserved with a thin layer of wax.  Dippers also eliminate smoky odors and reduced soot emissions.

Other Wickman candle essentials include a sleek lighter and wick trimmers.

Shown Above: Four new "dipper" styles from Wickman.

Starting a Savour was a natural extension of her love of travel, food and retail.

Savour's mission is to cater to people who love to explore the world of food by offering unique foods and products that that enhance one's cooking, eating, and entertaining experience.

The Nose Knows


Knows Perfumes: Purveyor of Uncommon Scents, a unique perfume gallery, recently opened its doors in West Seattle. Owner, Christen Cottam, moved to Seattle from San Francisco four and a half years ago after a successful career in the bio-tech industry to pursue her passion for fragrance. Cottam's love of perfume grew out of her fascination with wine's complexities of notes. Perfume, like wine offered Cottam the same intrigue.

The store's decidedly San Francisco vibe is unlike department store perfume counters. It's  surprisingly fragrance free. Cottam keeps her shop fragrance free to enable each perfume's fragrance to to be enjoyed without the interference of competing fragrances.

At Knows Perfumes, one will find the world's finest and rarest perfumes, including: McBride Beauty, Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier, Strange Invisible Perfumes and Tallulah Jane Natural. Cottam's personal favorite is Fire & Cream from Strange Invisible Perfume. 

In addition to an exquisite array of fragrances, Knows Perfume carries the AB Home collection from Archipelago Botanicals.

Knows Perfume is located at 4536 California Avenue SW, Seattle, WA 98106. Shown Above: Cottam surrounded by extraordinary perfumes.
