100% Pure Beeswax Candles
We make a wide range of handcrafted beeswax candles, available in both elegant jars and classic pillar styles. Our candles are thoughtfully designed with unique decorative touches adding a distinctive charm to any space.
Beeswax candles are celebrated as a premium, natural alternative to conventional wax options, offering numerous benefits for health, home, and the environment. Sourced as a renewable byproduct of honey production, they are non-toxic, biodegradable, and burn cleanly, producing minimal soot or smoke. Beeswax also has a naturally high melting point, resulting in a significantly longer burn time compared to types of wax, making them more cost-effective option.
Timepieces
Bring a touch of charm and elegance to your space with our beautifully handcrafted timepieces, created from upcycled vintage plates. Each piece carries its own unique history, transformed into a functional work of art that blends timeless appeal with everyday practicality. The delicate patterns and subtle wear of the original plate add character you simply can’t replicate, making every clock truly one of a kind. With their distinctive style and eco-conscious design, these pieces are perfect for adding warmth, personality, and vintage elegance to any room.
