Ooh, my top nine are so pretty! Thank you for all the love and support! This year I have had my very first full seasonal release, started posting on the blog again, and released many new lip balm flavors, soaps and lotions. I've learned so much, and met so many wonderful friends as well! 💜 Onward to 2020! 🤯 . . . #topnine #topnine2019 #topnineof2019 #chocolatecoveredcherries #winterlipbalm #earlgreylipbalm #redvelvet #redvelvetcake #redvelvetlipbalm #upstartcrow #booksoap #leathersoap #bookwormgifts #chocolatelipbalm #autumnlipbalm #idlewild #anneofgreengables #chs_balms #canfieldhandcraftedsoaps https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ZH8cThzqX/?igshid=p7cx4gxjpxvg

Happy First Day of Winter! After a tough few weeks and still being a little under the weather, we're spending the afternoon with comfort food, a fire in the fireplace, and Minecraft. 😎 What are your cold weather family traditions? 🌨️💜 . . . #howwehygge #winterhygge #minecraftfamily #winterishere #firstdayofwinter https://www.instagram.com/p/B6WvRdTh2Pl/?igshid=pgbbiljuh3ky

Etsy must have been sending out some notifications today because lovely people have been reviewing the shop and sending emails about their products. Thank you, you lovely people! This review about the Winter mini lip balm set gave me a huge smile, and even more so when my youngest brother said "If everyone that got one of the 7 enjoyed them that means you actually got a 35-star review." That's certainly what it feels like. 💜😘 . . . . #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyhandmade #minilipbalms #etsyreview #lipbalmlover #lipbalmreview #fivestarreview https://www.instagram.com/p/B6H4KN4hU-7/?igshid=ggazs8eoqna3

*Check-in post!* How are my fellow entrepreneurs doing today? 💜 Gearing up for a new year in business is tough but please remember: All those small things you're doing ARE adding up, so just keep up the good work. All those small mistakes you've made this year WILL get ironed out this next year, so try not to dwell on them. And most importantly, your people REALLY love you just for being out there, so don't feel like you're failing them somehow. 🤗 . . . In other news, look at the fragrances that will be coming to lotions and wax melts soon! The Bergamot Black Tea is just *so* ritzy, I love it... 😍 Huge thanks to Bramble Berry for the recent shipping sale! . . . #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneurawareness #aligndonthustle #entrepreneurcheckin #entrepreneurmentalhealth #smallbusinessbiglove #smallbusinesslove #mentalhealthawareness #smallbusinesssupport #communityovercompetition #supportthemakers https://www.instagram.com/p/B6BoZPshDjb/?igshid=27lblu1qx5go

When I first smelled this fragrance I thought "I looooove it... but I have no idea why!" It's Apricot- but it's also a creamy Coconut, also a super light Jasmine/Bergamot. It's bright and fruity but with a deep creamy finish. An instant favorite in my book! I've got samples to send so let me know if you want one with your order! . . . #waxmeltsaddict #waxtartsaddict #homefragrance #soywaxtarts #soywaxmelts #idlewild #anneofgreengables #nutmegtoddy #nutmegmilk #redcurrant #whitecurrant #peppermintmocha #caffemocha #juniperaloe #moonlightpomegranate #midnightpomegranate #toastedoat #filmnoir #winteraloe #moonbow #apricot #apricotcoconut #coffeeandchocolate #blackfridaywaxmelts #shopsmallcybermonday #etsycybermonday #hyggelifestyle #hyggehome #hyggescents #heimwehfernweh https://www.instagram.com/p/B5tW-j2BDSX/?igshid=t0n35owcmet8

I had planned to post a lovely description of the awesomeness that is the Idlewild wax melts but I'm like "forget that!" 'cause Cyber Monday has not been kind to my family so far... long story short, it's kinda suddenly time for a new fridge and nobody has Cyber Monday deals on fridges. Bleh. 😒🤯 I hope everyone and their appliances are faring better today! 😂🤗 . . . #stupidappliances #waxmeltsaddict #waxtartsaddict #homefragrance #soywaxtarts #soywaxmelts #idlewild #anneofgreengables #nutmegtoddy #nutmegmilk #redcurrant #whitecurrant #peppermintmocha #caffemocha #juniperaloe #moonlightpomegranate #midnightpomegranate #toastedoat #filmnoir #winteraloe #moonbow #apricotcoconut #coffeeandchocolate #blackfridaywaxmelts #shopsmallcybermonday #etsycybermonday #hyggelifestyle #hyggehome #hyggescents #heimwehfernweh https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lccyNh7yy/?igshid=1mqm1jjqq9ixp

I love this little flock of wax melt samples! They're going out with orders so if you'd like to try one of the Winter fragrances let me know which one when you order. 💜 (All of them are sooooo good, if I do say so myself, and most are custom blended by me so you won't find them anywhere else. 😎) . . . #etsyblackfriday #waxmeltsaddict #waxtartsaddict #homefragrance #soywaxtarts #soywaxmelts #nutmegtoddy #nutmegmilk #redcurrant #whitecurrant #peppermintmocha #caffemocha #juniperaloe #moonlightpomegranate #midnightpomegranate #toastedoat #filmnoir #winteraloe #moonbow #apricotcoconut #coffeeandchocolate #blackfridaywaxmelts #shopsmallblackfriday #etsycybermonday #etsysmallbusinesssaturday https://www.instagram.com/p/B5eE70LBlJg/?igshid=boarizuo0tev

Mini Sets of Minis? I'm thinking of offering sets of 4 in addition to the sets of 7 but I want your input... These mini Autumn sets could be available tomorrow but I thought I'd test the waters first. (We'll wrap them up all purdy and even add some ribbon if you want it, just like with the Mega Sets of Minis!) . . . If you'd be happy to snag a set for $10.99 let me know! . . . #lipbalmaddict #lipbalmlover #lipbalmset #lipbalmgiftset #autumnlipbalm #ihatemakinguphashtags #chs_balms #butterpecan #pecanpraline #pslseason #pseverything #chocolatecherry #cherrycordial #pumpkinspicelatte #pumpkinpecanwaffles bit.ly/chs_mail https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EInVjhH_4/?igshid=1gieywz3rxid6

I'm so grateful for everyone who takes the time to leave a review, or write out why they liked something I sent. ❤️ Thought I'd share this one about the Winter set. 🤗 . . . Orders from this week are shipping Monday! 😘 Please take a second to vote on the poll in my stories if you've placed an order (and haven't already voted, that is). I'm making wax melt samples today for the outgoing orders. . . . #sograteful #etsygratitude #shopetsy #winterlipcare #winterlipbalm #chocolatepeppermint #homemadehotcocoa #chocolateorange #lipbalmset #waxtarts #waxmelts https://www.instagram.com/p/B48YnTohn8o/?igshid=vvjazsy9d4di

Watch me while I make soap! This one is named after a part in L. M. Montgomery's "Anne of Green Gables" and the name fits completely. This soap is also available to purchase in my Etsy shop. :-)

[canfield-handcrafted-soaps]

This flavor is pure happiness... (And it's available now, which is also pure happiness...) I've put all the Autumn items in one section for now but in the next week or so I'll separate everything out into the individual sections, so if you just want to shop lip balms or lotions specifically you will be able to. 🤗 . . . . . PS - Winter lip balm info for stockists: I'm going to create a linesheet especially for the Winter lip balms so if you're interested in retailing them for the first time ever, feel free to DM me. Low minimums as always! . . . . . #lipbalmaddict #lipbalmlover #pumpkinpecanwaffles #pumpkinspicelatte #pumpkinapicelipbalm #etsyseller #etsy #thankyouetsy #waffles #pumpkinwaffles #availableonetsy #etsywholesale #lipbalmwholesale #autumbbathandbody #lovefall🍁 #loveautumn🍁 #falllipbalm #cozyautumn #autumnismyfavorite #fallismyfavorite #hyggelifestyle #autumnfernweh #fallfernweh https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vBJZ9h71j/?igshid=oa1x23x6z0uw

Remember how I told you there were nine new flavors coming for Autumn? If you've been counting you'll know I only shared 8 so far. ;-) Pumpkin Cheesecake is the last one! I'm so excited about this flavor. It smells like the perfect Pumpkin Cheesecake, then you put it on and you get the spice and the Graham cracker crust flavor. No, this one's not in the set- since it's extra special and very limited, I'll be sending them as a gift with orders over $30. :-) . . . PS- the email subscribers will be receiving a test email Monday to work out any kinks before the official Autumn release. Talk to you then! 💜 . . . #autumnlovers #autumbbathandbody #loveautumn🍁 #lipbalmlover #pumpkincheesecake #pumpkinspicelipbalm #lipbalmlove #autumnnostalgia #autumnfernweh #fallfeels #allthefallthings #chsminibalms #chslipbalm #chs_balms #happilyeverautumn https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VTJ13BPNw/?igshid=17v385nhczfnn

Drumroll, please! A huge thank you to everyone who played along and guessed what the new chocolate flavor (coming with the Autumn release!) might be. I'm tagging you in the comments so you don't miss the reveal. Your flavor guesses were absolutely mouthwatering... Bridget, you guessed it! 🎉🎊 To everyone else who guessed all I have to say is... oh my goodness, I have some flavors to find and make into lip balm! Thank you again!! 🤤🤤 I hope you'll play along next time too! 💜 . . . . . #kindredspirits #lipbalmlover #chocolatelipbalm #autumn2019🍁 #chocolatecherry #chocolatecoveredcherries #autumnfeels #autumngoodies #lovefall #happyautumn #happilyeverautumn #chsminibalms #chs_balms https://www.instagram.com/p/B35M_WNBEx5/?igshid=vbxcasjrw1r3
