We began our odyssey into candle making in
1997 as a fun yet productive hobby.
After opening a small gift shop in Snowflake, Arizona that featured hand crafted and natural products we encountered a common problem: acquiring great quality, highly scented, long burning candles for a fair price, and, equally important, was the need to have them shipped to our store for a reasonable price. Failing to find what we were looking for prompted us to begin taking our candle making hobby a bit more seriously. I began intensive research into the art and science of making a high quality, safe candle. After practicing mixing scents, various waxes, and wicks to produce a candle I would be pleased with enough to burn in my own home, I finally reached a point where I was happy with the results.

Our storefront has been closed for several years now which allows us to focus on maintaining the same high standards of quality when it comes to producing a strongly scented, long burning candle. We use uncut, professional grade fragrance oils, high quality essential oils, premium waxes and wicks, and we still wick and pour each candle by hand to ensure a superior product.
Because various fragrance and essential oils perform differently depending on the container size and shape, the wax used, the size and type of wicks used, and even any coloring dyes, we test each fragrance variety in different wax, dye, container, and wick combinations to find the best quality of candle. This method also enables us to examine the ”burn” of each type of candle we sell. Our testing reinforces the confidence we place in our candles to burn evenly, cleanly, and safely when following proper burn instructions.
Our current inventory includes over 200 active scents and several sizes and styles of containers. We offer candles in specialty containers for holidays, seasonal scents, large and small apothecary jars, rustic country canning jar candles, natural soy wax candles, and we our new line of beeswax votive candles.
Although our primary products are candles, we also carry our own line of old fashioned Goats’ Milk and Jersey Cream soaps and a goats’ milk and honey based body lotion. These products are available in both scented and unscented varieties.
We hope you’ll enjoy the soaps, candles, and lotions we produce as much as we do!
