About the Candles

I use recycled containers from Edmonton thrift stores and fill them with natural soy wax (vegan) and essential oils. I use a mix of wood and cotton wicks. The number and type of wick depends on the shape of the container. Since each container is unique, please contact me if there are any problems keeping your candle lit. I will repair or replace as needed.

Refill your own

Do you have your own container you would like to refill or make into a candle?

I can do that! I believe we should be mindful about what we bring into our homes so re-use what you love.

About Carrie

My favourite evening ritual is to light candles that smell and look beautiful. I like soy candles because they are clean burning and I like subtle, natural scents. I was spending time in thrift stores with my creative teen daughter and I found lots of fun containers. I thought - why don't I make my own candles with these containers? I enjoyed candle-making so much that I needed to start selling them or my home would be overflowing. My main gig is that I am a Trained Professional home organizer.
