Why You'll Love Our Items

More about us

Hi! My name is Linda Carle, Owner & Artisan at ~Scents & Color~ from The Carle Collection. I have always been crafty. I've taken courses in floriculture & interior design but used this knowledge mostly for personal use. I feel that once I started designing jewelry my understanding of contrasting and complimentary colors really started shining through.

I have many repeat customers and admirers of my work which makes me very grateful & proud.

~Scents & Color~ from the Carle Collection is a family oriented business. Although Mama bear here creates the handmade jewelry, soaps, & soy candles on this site the rest of the family are very creative & artistic as well. My husband Jerry is awesome at wood burning, our daughter Lydia makes beautiful wire wrapped jewelry, and our son Zacchary makes the coatracks found here under "other goodies". Our granddaughter Madi has made chapsticks, bathbombs, and is very creative. Our granddaughter Jessa is the musical talent in the family but also makes beautiful crocheted items. Parker is an amazing kid, He loves creating necklaces & has a natural musical talent.

It all started quite a few years back...while visiting our dearest friends. We got out some beads & made a few pairs of earrings...not a day has gone by since then that I haven't thought of jewelry designs. It is a true passion!!! I have quite an extensive of unique pieces.

My latest venture has been making Handmade Soy Candles & Soaps, I have been making them for a good 10 years now. I have a delightful assortment of hand blended scents. I just love working with soy!!!!

My dream of opening my own brick & mortar shop came true in February 2020 (just in time for the pandemic). We converted the garage of our split-level home into a beautiful little boutique. I love being in the shop & creating but still love to vend at craft shows, music festivals, & other events as much as possible. I hope you enjoy our amazing Scents & Color!!!

I will still be vending at music festivals, which I truly love!!!

I hope you enjoy our amazing Scents & Color!!!

Gratefully,

Linda C

Our Soap Scents
