Melt
Low, steady heat. The wax turns clear.
A note from Josie.
Good things take
a little time.
I wanted a candle that smelled like a place, rather than a perfume counter. So I started with the woods outside my door.
A room in the back.
A light in the window.
In 2019, I set a wax melter on a borrowed table in Eureka Springs. Cedar Porch was the first scent I got right. I still keep a jar by the door.
Our wax is a coconut-soy blend, our wicks are wood, and our fragrance oils are phthalate-free. No dye, no glitter, no mystery extras. Just a candle made with care.
