Our Story

I like the way candles make me feel.

I always have a candle on the go. I feel, relaxed and sometimes reflective. I like how candles make my home feel, the coziness of it all. I'll start my coffee maker, with my first espresso of the day, I will light a candle that is nearby. For me, it’s a nice way to have a slow start to my day. In my office, I'll have another candle on the go. When the day may be slightly stressful, I'll either take time out for a walk, or watch the flame of the candle and their gentle dance. There is something about a candle that makes you feel. Feel reflective, feel relaxed, feel at home. Whatever it is, as it is a personal thing, I like it. That's me.

One of the main reasons I started making candles, when I had purchased them from various places, my experience had been they were below standard in the aroma upon burning, they tunneled, they didn't burn all the way and I paid a lot of money for them. Candles are a luxury item; a personal item and the candles I had purchased, they didn't deliver to my expectations.

With great thought, how hard is it to make a decent candle with a decent price? After researching and learning the first candles were created. This was our Christmas Collection 2023. I started selling at a small Christmas Market in Odiham. I had 100 candles. I had hoped someone would purchase just one. Within a few hours, I sold out. I was elated that people liked my candles. So, time to make more!
