Custom scented candles made by Emily Savioli, owner of Stitches and Stowaways in Richfield. The “Apple Orchard” candle, made especially for Oviatt House, celebrates the apple orchards once abundant on the property. Each candle smells like a fresh cut apple straight off the tree and comes in a ceramic container reminiscent of an antique crock. Candles are available at Stitches and Stowaways, 4183 W. Streetsboro Road, Suite 103 in Richfield. Candles are $15/each with a percentage of proceeds going toward the restoration of Oviatt House. |

Each kit includes ten quilt design template sheets, ten bags of pre-cut colored paper pieces to complete each quilt block and two glue sticks. Each kit comes in a sturdy box ready for gift giving. Kits are $10/each with all proceeds going toward the restoration of Oviatt House. |
