I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, and am a single "mom" of two somewhat strange kitties named Balthasar and Romeo. (You'll see their photos crop up in my ads and on my website from time to time.) I received my first treasure candle as a gift several years ago and loved watching the treasures appear as the wax melted. I searched for more, both in brick-and-mortar stores and on-line, but had a tough time finding what I was looking for. I decided to start experimenting with making treasure candles for myself, and voila! Treasures by Tina was born!

♪ I love photography! (I think I inherited this love from my dad, a professional photographer.) I've listed a few of my favorite flower photos and have turned some into notecard sets, also listed here.
