About Our Candles
It started at a friend's house
It all began in the summer of 2022. While visiting a close friend, we decided to try making candles for the very first time. We spent hours experimenting with different scents, laughing, and entirely losing track of time. As we admired our creations, my friend suggested we design labels and try selling them. That single idea sparked something in me. Leaning into my background in research, I spent countless hours learning from industry professionals and perfecting my formula. When I finally brought my candles to local events, the response was overwhelming. I was overjoyed to turn a new passion into a thriving business, and it all traces back to that unforgettable summer afternoon spent creating with a friend.
I had already started my woodworking business with a single mission: to create a warm and cozy experience for my customers. Candles were the perfect natural extension. They create an inviting atmosphere and hold the incredible power to transport us to other places. Want to step back onto that spring hiking trail in the mountains? Light a Birchwood Pine soy candle. Looking to recreate childhood summer vacations on the East Coast? Let an Ocean Spray soy blend candle carry you there. Adding candles to my shop didn't just expand my collection, it truly brought my vision of home comfort full circle.
How our candles are made
Every candle is crafted with care, precision, and an absolute attention to detail:
- Handcrafted Lids & Classic Jars: We pair simple, elegant brown apothecary glass jars with wooden lids made right in our workshop.
- The Perfect Cure: After pouring the wax, our candles cure for two full weeks to guarantee the highest quality fragrance throw.
-
Clean, Nature-Inspired Scents: We design rich, nature inspired and seasonal fragrances, all of which are 100% phthalate-free.
About our wax
Whenever I buy a candle, I always want to get the most out of it, which is exactly why I choose soy wax. It is a fantastic option for candle lovers because it burns slower and cleaner than traditional waxes, giving you many more hours of enjoyment. Plus, because soy is a renewable resource grown right here at home, choosing it supports American farmers. Using soy wax is my way of staying committed to both exceptional quality and the American grower.
To give you complete transparency, you will notice the word "Blend" on some of our candle labels. This simply means a small amount of premium paraffin (less than 50%) has been added to enhance and better distribute the fragrance throughout your space. However, if you prefer an entirely paraffin-free option, any of our candles without the "Blend" phrase are made from 100% pure soy and other all-natural ingredients.
Discover our handmade wooden lids
We create our signature wooden lids in-house using American Cedar, and we’ve recently added a sleek, black metal lid option to all of our candles! Whether you choose the unique, rustic charm of our custom cedar or the clean, modern look of the black metal, both styles perfectly balance our elegant apothecary jars. No matter which you pick, our lids bring a beautiful, thoughtful touch straight to your space.
