Hi! I'm Lauren: romantasy reader, candle maker, and unapologetically obsessed with fictional characters. I started a book club for the love of stories and accidentally found something even better: my found family and shadow wielders.

Somewhere along the way, I started pouring candles in my kitchen as a way to bottle up the scents of fictional worlds I never wanted to leave. What began as a creative escape became something much more: a new 'found family' of fellow readers and authors, and a business built on sharing magical, bookish scents.

Every candle is developed, designed, and hand-poured by me in my Seattle-area home.

Thank you for shopping small!
