A candle a day keeps the seasonal depression away - the gentle flickering flame and soothing aroma can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and enjoyment.

​Thanks to daylight savings time our circadian rhythm was thrown off again this weekend. To make your day better our stores are now open at 8am on weekdays , allowing you to get a head start and enjoy that early morning cup of coffee.


​Candles are essential during this time of the year. They serve as decorative elements, adding charm and elegance to any room. As well as an unwinding, mood setting for any occasion as we adjust to a new sleep schedule, and they gently help us get into the holiday spirit as we plunge forward into the winter months. Even psychotherapists have spoken on the benefits of candles, citing positive impacts on mood, stress, working capacity, and overall mental health.


So… have we sold you yet? Here’s a list of our newest candle collections we invite you to enjoy:


  1. Thymes - Frasier Fir
    Every year our customers anxiously await the return of the Frasier Fir collection- and for good reason! This signature holiday scent has become a staple for many who can’t wait to fill their homes with the aromatic snap of crisp Siberian Fir needles, heartening cedarwood, and relaxing sandalwood. We currently have a variety of candle sizes, fragrance diffusers, scented hand cream, and decorative sachets (the perfect gift tag or stocking stuffer) in stock.

  2. Lulumiere - Northwest
    Shop local candles this season with Lulumiere! Based here in Seattle and woman made, this small business captures the essence of Pacific Northwest with a candle that harmoniously blends the crisp freshness of pine and evergreen, the earthy embrace of moss, and the zesty vibrancy of citrus rind, evoking the region’s untamed, natural beauty in every whiff. It’s our signature candle and go-to for freshening up gathering spaces before hosting guests!

  3. Rifle Paper - Limited Edition
    This candle brings to mind memories of cozy nights by the fire, fresh balsam fir trimmings, and boughs of cranberries sugared with frost. A must-have for that spark of inspiration during a long workday, or an after-hours burn to enhance your self-care routine and completely unwind.

  4. Rewined Holiday Collection
    Indulge in the cozy warmth of the holiday season with a candle that exudes the rich, creamy aroma of eggnog, reminiscent of festive gathers and the sweet comforts of winter. These candles are made from repurposed wine bottles. A great gift to brighten someone’s day when they’re trapped indoors because the weather outside is frightful, or to elegantly enhance a holiday dinner table.

  5. Moore Candles
    Nature lovers adore these candles. They are hand-poured in Denver, Colorado, bursting with adventurous outdoor spirit. Currently, we have a variety of enchanting scents guaranteed to transport your senses: The Woods, Night Sky, Winter Time, The Sunrise, Cozy Cabin, Campfire, and Tree Farm - this one especially encapsulates the crisp, woody scent of evergreen trees, infusing your space with the ambiance of choosing the perfect Christmas tree on a brisk winter day.
