Summerfield Candles Booth at the Nutcracker Houston Ballet 2023
Hello, My name is Mitchell Milicevich. Over the past 41 years, I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you at craft shows like the Harvest Festival, Pumpkin Festival, Candy Dance, etc. all across the western United States. My wife Salinda, myself and now our 3 children design and handmake every pair of candles we sell. We start in January by purchasing only the best pure beeswax available from local beekeepers. Every Oak Leaf, holly berry, grape cluster, etc. that decorate our candles is cut, sculpted, rolled or twisted by hand from beeswax. It is tedious work for sure. And, it is difficult at times to concentrate when you are making candy canes in February. But when I hear you – my loyal customers and friends – go on and on at the craft shows about how much you love our candles and even share personal stories with us about how they were received as hostess gifts or used for the holiday table centerpiece – well, that makes it all worthwhile.
Salinda, my wife of 40 years, who is the founder and artistic force behind our company always jokes that everybody looks better by candlelight ( a little wine doesn’t hurt either ). But it’s true. A burning beeswax candle during dinner, on the mantle, or on the nightstand seems to help relieve stress and helps enhance the moment. I have heard some long time customers tell me that they never burn our candles but only bring them out during the holidays. My response – WHY? We are not getting any younger – what could you be saving them for that is more important than the moment? Life happens fast! – I say enjoy every precious moment especially with those you love and care for.
Whether you are a returning customer, a new customer or a good friend – thank you so much. We do not take anything for granted and we appreciate everything we have with this business. Happy customers make a successful business. THANK YOU!
I hope to see you at a craft show this year or hear from you via email. We have a lot of new candle designs I think you will like.
Take care, and have a great year.

Preparing for the Holidays
Booth setup
Setting up our booth for a craft show whether indoors or outdoors is not only physical but time consuming. However, Once the booth is set up it is well worth it.
