Happy Fallidays from Cathedral

Hello Everyone~

I hope you all have been enjoying the Fall Season so far. I know I have, with the cool days it makes the evenings especially nice for burning candles when I get home. We still have some Pumpkin Chai left in stock and its been great smelling this fragrance while working in the store. The scent gets me in the Fall Mood and makes me think of the fun times I have shared with my Family  during this time of the year.
So many new items have arrived as I have been trying to get the shop stocked up for the Holiday Rush. Here are a few from Chilewich and  Tocca. I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do.

Hello Everyone~

Well Fall is officially here and I can't be more excited! It truly is my favorite time of year.  Fall is one of the only seasons you can really experience a change of scenery with in San Diego. With all the wonderful fragrances, colors, and feeling the chill in the air; this time of the year makes me happy to bring out the boots and scarves! And we can't forget one of my favorite holidays "Halloween."  We already have received a lot of our Fall merchandise and much more is on the way...  so stay tuned for more. Here is a sneak peek at some of my favorites for the 2010 Fall Season....

 NEW Diffusers from NEST

NEST is becoming one of Cathedral's top candle collections. Their Moroccan Amber is definitely one of my favorites and perfect for burning on chilly Fall evenings. With their popularity in mind we are happy to share that NEST has expanded their line to offer six of the top fragrances as Room Diffusers. The packaging is superb and the design of the diffuser itself is divine. Soon to follow in the next few weeks will be a collection of  soaps in the same fragrances and a re-order of candles. If you are as much of a fan of NEST as I am be sure to come in early to stock up on your favorite scents.

 

 NEW Fall Chilewich

Chilewich is a tried and true product always making your table look smashing for any occasion.  This season some new colors and textures will make entertaining even more fun! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

 NEW Voluspa Maison Rouge

No post would be complete if I didn't mention my ultimate favorite Candle Collection Voluspa.  Once again they have a new Collection just in time for the Fall and Holiday Seasons... Maison Rouge.  Several new fragrances encased in their signature 2 wick tin and a magnificent dark red jar.  Absolutely beautiful!

It's that time of the year again!

Fall is basically here, and at Cathedral when fall comes so does Nest's Pumpkin Chai candle! This candle is super exclusive and here for a limited time only! Last year was the first year that Cathedral carried this candle, we got about thirty of them in, and sold out them within a week! When I smell this candle it makes me think of so many things, like New York in the fall, or eating spice cake next to a fire! Pumpkin Chai will get you in the mood for fall with wild pumpkin enhanced with spicy masala chai paired with notes of cardamom , ginger, and cinnamon.Once you light Nest's Pumpkin Chai candle you can transform any space to a cozy space! I think this candle belongs in every house for fall! Get cozy! All Nest candles are $32.00.

Nesting the Sunshine? It is August!

It was sunny and beautiful when I opened the store this morning! But now the sun has left me. So, I decided to embrace the cloudy weather and burned a candle to get cozy in the store! Right now I am burning wasabi pear from Nest. I am one of those people that have to have fragrances that go with the seasons! Whether it be my perfume, candle, soap, whatever, I change my scents as the seasons change! So, naturally I am burning wasabi pear. The candle just reminds me of a warm, sunny, lazy, cocktail drinking day! The scent of this candle has fresh anjou pear with ozonic watery notes which are infused with the slightest hint of wasabi. Doesn't that sound just like the happiest scent ever? Nest candles burn for about 70 hours and retail for $32.00.

Available at Cathedral 435 University Ave. San Diego, Ca 92103
