Tiger and Lily Boutique is thrilled to present Christy Oneto as our artist of the month for July. Christy is a 35 year old working mother who creates beautifully decorated candles. Christy specializes in creating what she is calling her Breast Cancer candles. Christy lost her grandmother to Breast Cancer in 2007. Her loss inspired her to put her creativity to work for a good cause. She began making decorative candles to give to friends and family who also lost a love one to breast cancer.

Each candle is hand decorated and very delicate. Unscented candles are used in most cases, on occasion Fresh Cotton white scented candles, may be used for the summer candles.  We find the scent adds extra joy to any room. Tax and Shipping is included in the price. Please contact Tiger and Lily Boutique at info@tigerandlilyboutique.com for custom orders.  View Candles. Buy it!
