This print of the features a derelict grain elevator in the Saskatchewan prairie fields. The night sky is filled with a photo the artist took of Gord Downie singing Wheat Kings during the band's 2016 farewell tour. He says: "Thousands of fans sang in unison and swayed to the lyrics with their cellphones alight. It was as is if they were recreating the distant shimmering city lights of Saskatoon from a cold January night. By sheer coincidence an eerie figure stood high in an arena doorway that night, looking on as if David Milgaard (wrongfully convicted for the 1969 murder of Gail Miller) was there to witness one last version of the Hip's power anthem written for him." A must for any Tragically Hip fan!
Measures 11" x 14" (28 x 36 cm).

Fresh - Floral - Deep Breaths
Lovely and floral, this candle wafts the scent of the delicate nature off of Canada’s East Coast. Bringing clean, calming, and fresh notes to your space, lighting it will transport you to the fresh and calming shores of Nova Scotia.
Notes:
This hand poured, 100% soy wax candle is excellent for bringing the outdoors indoors.
14 oz
Burn time: 80+ hours
Things to remember: the first burn is the most important! Soy has a memory, so the first burn will set the tone for the rest of its candle life. You want your candle to be off to a good start in life – so remember to allow the wax pool to reach the edge of the glass on the first burn – but don’t let it burn too long. Candles shouldn’t be burned longer than 3-4 hours at a time, the wick should always be trimmed to ¼ inch long between burns, and candles should never be burned near another heat source (yes this includes other candles – keep them at least 6 inches apart!). Oh, and keep that candle on a heat safe surface, away from drafts, children, and pets!

This Taylor Swift inspired candle smells like sleepless nights spent writing lyrics in your well-worn journal, reminiscing about lost loves and lives that could have been.
You'd better be SWIFT if you feel that this candle was TAYLOR made for you because it's a limited edition.
Scent notes: spiced plum, cypress, saffron. a warm, sultry scent.
These 8 oz candles are hand poured from sustainably-grown, North American soy wax and made with fine, phthalate-free fragrances, cotton wicks, reusable amber jars, and clean-burning, premium fragrance oils.
40-50 hour burn time.
The first burn is the most important.
When lighting your candle for the first time, make sure you wait until the wax has melted evenly across the candle. By ensuring the whole surface has melted before you extinguish your candle, you'll avoid tunneling and help your candle last longer.
Burn your candle for 3-4 hours at a time.
While you may want to burn your candle all day long, to ensure your candle lasts as long as it can (40-50 hours), make sure you don't burn it for longer than 3-4 hours at a time. However, if you do choose to burn it for longer than that per session, all that means is you'll get to buy a fresh candle a bit sooner.
Trim your wicks.
Before re-lighting your candle, make sure you trim it to a 1/4 inch to ensure the smoothest possible burn.
