The Village of Timeless Trades & The Candlestick Maker's Workshop: A Soothing Sleep Story

Immerse yourself in the heart of a village where time seems to stand still. Tonight, we follow the story of Granny Violet, a wise old candlestick maker whose craft illuminates the lives of those around her. From her cozy workshop atop a small hill, to the vibrant community that cherishes her work, we explore a world where old trades thrive and every candle tells a story... 😴
Tonight, let us whisk you away to a land far removed from the hustle of modern life, into a village where the flicker of candlelight guides you through the darkness.

Oh my goodness! My story! I am a candlemaker! ❤🕯

[@christierichardson2841]

I checked out your page. Absolutely awesome. 💯

[@mysticalmysticandles]

@@christierichardson2841 Aww, thank you!!! 🥰 It's a labor of love ❤️

[@charlotterockel-kennedy8913]

Your candles are truly out of this world 🤩 I am addicted to candles and home made soap 😂

[@user-pk1gp7iy2o]

Thank you Mr. Dalton for another wonderful sleep story. Perhaps you could tell us a story about the Lavender fields of Provence, and how this beautiful plant is used for making so many things. Lavender is also a very good aid for sleeping as it has very soothing and calming properties.

[@bethmarie98]

I think the mindfulness aspect of the first part of the stories is sooo important! It is so relaxing to be put into a “safe space” before the story starts. So relaxing & peaceful. Thank you for your creativity! 🤍 can’t wait to fall asleep to this.

[@christierichardson2841]

The part about peace living within us is wonderful too because we lose our peace often in the day or should I say, we let people and worries make us forget it's there but learning to anchor into that peace brings a natural relaxation 😌 😊. The gratitude reminder brings happiness and peace also because we strive so much for things we want to attain in life but often times we forget about the beautiful blessings we already have.

[@user-pk1gp7iy2o]

@@christierichardson2841 Very true. Sometimes we forget that most of the beautiful things in life are free, such as a walk in the park or a stroll by the ocean.

[@jamiehale8251]

I wanted to tell you that your videos have been a life saver! I'm coming up on a year sober, and your videos help me throughout the night so I don't have to take anything for my anxiety & sleep! Thank you so much for all you do! Keep up the amazing work! I will be here listening till you don't make vids anymore, lol ❤

[@rosemariediamond5948]

[@Stephen_Dalton]

I’ll be making them for a very long time. I wish you well on your journey. I am nearly 7 years sober from alcohol and I can tell you that it gets better every day. I’m happy that I can help you 🙏🏻

[@christierichardson2841]

When I was in grade school,our class took a trip to see how people made candles in the old days . I've been in love with candles from then on. Thank you for this story and reminding us how there is always light 🕯️ even in the darkness. Love to you and your beautiful wife and sweet little Timmy ❤❤❤.

[@irenewilliams-nicol8162]

I would love to hear a sleep story about a lighthouse keeper, especially during a storm. Thanks. 😊

[@lindamartin4208]

My dear, sweet mama’s name was Violet and all of her grandkids called her Granny… Thank you for sharing the “Granny Violet” story with us tonight. Bless you Stephen 💞

[@Stephen_Dalton]

My granny was called Violet 😊

[@elizabethbose7638]

i called my graNDmother grammy...soo nice to hear it out and bout..

[@user-kn8mi6sv9e]

Was listening Stephen about the jobs people had back in the day. I was foster a few days a month. The lady of the house was kind and I called her mother A man called to the door he was a travelling man and he would sharpen the knives and fix the pots and pans looking.while he was doing that I sat watching mother made a pot I would make the sandwiches when it was raining he would on a chair 🪑 with table in the hall when the sun shone he was a quiet man its strange I was a chatterbox I would just sit on the stairs watching him when he left all he said was thank you Mam I felt all grown up I was about eight or nine years old over sixty years ago thank for the memories I forgotten it and feel my spirit of the little girl again 🎉

[@suzannemorrison2077]

Please put me to sleep as I can’t sleep This week thank you

[@rosemariediamond5948]

It’s 4:54 AM and woke up in middle of night as usual thank goodness I have you to help me get back to sleep. Thank you

[@dawnjeffersramstad8401]

I enjoyed the details about her candle molds and how she cared for them. 🎉

[@jadams4151]

Thanks so much for these stories. They help me relax and sleep better than anything else I’ve heard. I do have one suggestion. When you introduce the relaxation portion before the story begins, you usually say something like “and now let’s do the relaxation session, which will take a few minutes.” To me, this gives it the feel of a chore, something to be endured. Maybe instead you could try “and now, let’s take a few moments to relax before our story begins.” That sounds much more inviting!

[@sparkleplenty59]

I'm so glad I get notified on my iPhone of new things. No matter what, when I am I quickly share it to myself so I know where it is at bedtime. I look forward to bedtime for the rest of the day. I've never finished one story….😉🌛✨💫❤

[@gmadude1394]

[@hazelvaleriejackson1034]

On Sunday night I thought I would try without the sound of your voice and need I say didn't sleep.... keep the stories coming ❤

[@colettedemaria1009]

Hello from France ! French speaking listener here , I love your stories , I’m insomniac and I find that your voice is making wonders on me . Just one idea of story for you : an old village doctor visiting patients, he’s very devoted, very caring, he never says no to go out even in a middle of a snow storm , he’s very skillful even for delivering babies. Many thanks again , I must say that my English has improved since I listen to you . 🥰

[@nancyrhm2094]

I'd love to hear more stories about old trades!

[@reginachacon7334]

This put me to sleep so quickly I never got to hear the story. I replayed it this morning so I could! So lovely. Brought back memories of an old boyfriend who made candles and always smelled so good. Thank you!

[@lynnarmstrong9625]

I very much like to hear about the old crafts. This one is lovely. We don't see many original crafters anymore so I'd love stories on them too. Thank you Stephen, I'm suffering from a bereavement and you are helping me so much. I wake kften in the night and listening to your sleep stories are wonderful. Thank you ❤

[@StylishPaper]

Hello! I have a story request! You could do one about a wandering trader back in the olden days with a sturdy carriage and a strong horse/donkey! (Love your vids)

[@Christynmaine]

Oh, yes! Please consider doing a story about a Greek or Roman stone mason. I remember visiting a Roman coliseum in France and idea of the stonemason’s life as he chiseled away at the stones fascinated me. Truly love your stories. So soothing after a busy day 🙏

[@colettedemaria1009]

Good idea , mosaics makers in the Ancient Rome

[@ChrisDavies-vu9gc]

So early ! Thanks Stephen, goodnight ❤

[@user-kn8mi6sv9e]

When I was a little girl a family would foster family a few days a month I would spend a few days. My foster mother would have a travelling man caii and he would sharpen knives fixed pots and pans back to new.. I called her mother she would make a big pot of tea and my job was make the sandwiches. I would bring out a table and chair on wet he would eat in the hall. I would sit there and just watch him eating. I was a not a little chatterbox but a big one.he and he was quite man.its strange when you talked about the tonight story. It brought me back when I was about eight or nine it's hard to believe that over sixty three years ago 🎉 Stephen 🙏 thank you for story it brought back good memories 👏

[@user-jj8fy9ms6k]

Constantness , I’m 72 Stephen that’s the first time I have ever heard the word. Thank you for increasing my vocabulary I’m glad I pick smart friends. Just another great story. I think old trades is a great theme for storytelling a Wheelwhright or Teamster might possibly be good stories. Wagons were very important to everyone’s history. Thanks Stephen as always I will be looking forward to your next story.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Great to hear from you. I hope you are doing well my friend

[@issyness8658]

Yummy! Thank you Stephen!

[@jakemcguigan4032]

Hi Stephen from Ireland love all your stories ❤

[@MaRee1866]

Listening to this made me think - old trades - a seamstress, one that made all types of clothes but her specialty is night clothes. All kinds. Practical, silky, kids and adults. And instead of elves or gnomes that help her, maybe fairies. And maybe her friend, the cloth weaver has her own set of sprites or fairies that weave love and peace into their fabric. Silly ideas but they popped into my head.

[@anarullan3485]

About old drug store.Big hugs to you 3 .Timmi Rebecca and you From Florida ❤

[@christierichardson2841]

Yes, one about an old apothecary. That would be a great one for this series 👍 ❤. I love herbal medicine. My great grandmother used to harvest herbs and make all sorts of teas, tinctures, food and medicine.

[@Rsysas]

Old trades are wonderful

[@kenmiller2102]

Love the Trades series

[@trishrader102]

I loved this one so much, I listened two times in a row❤

[@camilelcoyne]

I love the idea of meeting more people performing old trades. The gondola making trade in Venice, Italy might be a good one to feature in a story. The skills used to be passed down through families, if I remember correctly. Perhaps being in the shop, meeting the family, then taking a quiet, calming ride with the sounds of the water lapping would make for a restful story?

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Good call Camile I like it 👍🏻

[@michelewhite36]

I meant to write basket weaving, Japanese traditional pottery such as making a tea pot or tea set, painting an Ancient Greek vase or weaving on a loom…❤

[@emmapicott449]

Oh. I'd love to hear a take about a spinner and weaver. From experience, spinning wheels are really soothing, and floor looms (not the mechanised ones) can be, too. =^.^= the sound of the beater is often described as being like a heartbeat, lol.

[@jaquelinerondel4877]

Loved this
