The Journey
Crafting Candles with Passion & Love
It started when my daughters were entering Highschool and I realized that soon they will be off on their own pursuing their own dreams. I needed to find something that would spark the passion and my creativity.
​
I have always loved candles and how the flame dances in the dark, the smells of the candles offers peace after a long day while having a bath or drinking wine by the fire place.
​
I wanted to create this peaceful way to relaxation. I started researching candle making and it didn't start off very good as I had some wax, fragrance oil and candle dye in my craft supplies, thinking this can't be too hard to do. Well my first attempt at making candles was a flop and I messed up! First of all I heated the wax to hot, poured the fragrance oil in when it was too hot and it flashed off instantly leaving a dull scent and a dull color! After cooling in a glass jar the wax sunk in the middle leaving a terrible looking candle!
​
After many hours of researching, watching videos and searching Candle Making websites I finally realized that this is an art and patience .
​
Everyday when I walk into my workshop I instantly am taken away to my creative and happy place. I am constantly learning the craft, creating more efficient ways make candles, create unique scents and more importantly connecting with the customers through my candles.
