POLLEN ARTS

If you were a Leominster EB shopper a few years back you would probably remember Juwels working here. Juwels and her husband Peter both rip skating and have spent the last few years doing some traveling and starting up a company called Pollen Arts. They make natural beeswax candles in unique vintage bottles leaving all the details in the wax. Check them out. If you like it then pick something out sometime as a gift or for yourself. Support real skaters and two very rad people.
