Oh HELLO! We’ve been cooking up something special behind the scenes & I’m so excited to announce the release of our collaboration with our dear friend Jenn - founder and maker of Prairie Girl Candles.

It was almost a year ago to this date that I moved back to my home province of Manitoba & attended a local craft fair where I unknowingly purchased a beautiful beeswax candle from Jenn. From a sea of hand crafted goods, I immediately gravitated towards her product. A subtle, yet beautifully scented natural candle - hand poured and quality made with local Manitoba beeswax. I had yet to find myself a permanent place to live, but this candle inspired me to find some place I could call home. It was only later that weekend that I realized I knew Jenn (she wasn’t the one who sold me her candle) and I immediately knew I had to connect with her.

Lilac Citrus Grove - Floral, fresh & nostalgic

Cut to several months later, many pints of beer (and some glasses of wine) and here we are introducing our collaboration. I knew I wanted to start with a very special scent, something that reminded me of my grandmother - who’s name represents this brand. Growing up, I was always enamoured with the tiny rose shaped soaps she kept in her powder room (you know, the kind you wouldn’t dare get wet!) Jenn guided me in choosing just the right floral notes to represent those tiny rose soaps & we added some citrusy freshness to balance it out. And there you have it - Lilac Citrus Grove - Floral, fresh & nostalgic.

I also knew I wanted to blend a scent that reminded me of cozy winter nights by the fireplace. Everyone who’s ever lived in a cold climate knows that gorgeous scent of warm cedar and pine. It is comforting and also nostalgic. We crafted just the right balance of warm and cozy and added some spice like nutmeg and clove. The result is a subtle, woodsy scent with a side of chai - Cedar & Clove.

We’re starting off our mini-collection with these two lovely scents and we hope you’ll get to explore and enjoy them! They are available in small 2oz travel friendly tins - perfect for the holidays when you want to feel at home, away from home or for gifting. They can be purchased individually or as a pair and always come in a handmade linen pouch, crafted from our production off-cuts and finished with a pretty satin ribbon. Explore them in shop HERE where you’ll find more detailed information about the product.

Much love XO Michelle
