About Me

I grew up in a small town out in the country as the only girl with four brothers, where life was filled with camping, fishing, and crafting with my mom. She sparked my love for creativity early on—I baked my first pie at just eight years old! Years later, that same love for baking inspired me to create candles that look and smell like decadent desserts, infused with the nostalgia of cozy cabins, country living, and my love for black bears.

Every candle is handmade by me, down to sculpting and painting each embed, designing the labels, and choosing the fragrances. I use only clean-burning, high-quality waxes and oils from trusted U.S. suppliers, layering each candle with scents that capture the comfort of home.

What started with candles has now grown to include flameless options like diffusers, room sprays, and carpet fresheners, as well as bath and body favorites like Whipped Sugar Scrubs and luxury lotions—all made in small batches with the same care and creativity.

My hope is to bring a touch of country charm, the warmth of a cabin, and the sweetness of fresh bakery scents into your home. I pour my heart into every product, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I love making them.

Grateful and Humbly,
