     Full Moon Lagoon candle, naturally whitened and infused with Lemongrass essential oil

    All of the candles are made of pure beeswax and fragrant essential oils. Bees are sacred creatures of the sun, who produce incorruptible honey, the food of the gods. Honey is used for many things including the making of mead, the sacrament of elder deities. Beeswax also contains these mystic properties, and is considered a most pure substance for the creation of candles for this reason. Essential oils are often used for their healing, therapeutic effects as well as for their applications in spellcraft of witches.

    Tatiana was born and raised in Novosibirsk, Russia in a family of scientists. Unlike her parents and siblings, she was drawn to the arts since early childhood. As she grew, she studied music, theater and dance. Her interest in fashion began as she watched her mother design and sew clothes for her family with a personal, creative touch.
    She started making lingerie out of curiosity and a desire to make beautiful little things for women. Now her pastime has become her passion, a full time job which allows her to support herself and her adorable 4 month old daughter.

    After graduating from Novosibirsk State University, Tatiana moved to San Diego to continue her education. Enthusiastic about her studies, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design. In 2012, Tatiana’s Threads was launched. A clothing line of lingerie and lingerie inspired apparel, Tatiana works with delicate materials to create elegant garments for women to celebrate their beauty in.

    She loves to combine textures and patterns and experiments regularly with shapes and silhouettes.
    Her lingerie is feminine and aesthetically pleasing, with great attention to detail and a gentle breath of european refinement.

     “I care a lot about women. Being one myself, I know how important it is to light our lives with little trifles for ourselves which make our lives a little happier every day.”
    Tatiana’s pieces are truly elegant and very comfortable as well, in a timeless style with nods to vintage sensibilities.

    Her skillfully made underthings have proven to be very popular at the boutique! We can barely keep them on the shelves. We are proud to have her delightful creations on hand for women in sizes ranging from prettily petite to deliciously voluptuous.
