I grew up on a farm. Left the farm. Came back to the farm.
I had a full time job working for someone else and I always had that gut feeling that I needed to be doing something creative...something more fulfilling....something that I could create, cultivate, and nurture into existence. In 2002 the simple idea of creating the first candle in the kitchen of our c.1820 home was conceived and like planting a seed as my father, grandfather & great grandfather..... it grew.
In 2009 that dream became a reality with the organic growth of the small "side" business and the realization that it could be a rewarding business with income potential. So, we opened our Brick & Mortar Studio / Shop just minutes from our farm in the small quaint village of East Palestine, Ohio.
That small idea blossomed enough to quit my day job and become a full time candle making artisan. Attention is devoted to every last detail from quality of materials, the pouring , the clients / customers and pursuit to be happy while doing it.
Hard work. Failures and Successes. Having my own company. It is all part of the master plan...and I'm loving it.
