Inspired by the gentle comforts of home‑stitched living, our 8 oz. Soy-Free Traveler Candle captures the soft, familiar warmth of early‑American domestic life. Each batch is hand‑mixed and hand‑poured in Tennessee, crafted with the same patient, intentional rhythm that once guided homestead artisans — a pace that honors tradition and elevates the everyday.

We use a luxury Apricot Coconut wax blend, selected for its clean burn, creamy texture, and superior scent throw. It’s a more sustainable alternative to soy, offering a smooth, even melt that’s kinder to your home and the environment. With a cotton‑paper wick, your candle burns evenly from edge to edge, delivering a 40+ hour burn time when burned correctly. Our fragrances are phthalate‑free, making them a safer option for homes with children, pets, and sensitive noses.

Homestead is crafted to feel warm, grounded, and quietly familiar — crisp apple, cedar chest, polished mahogany, and a soft thread of lavender that brings a gentle calm. The fragrance settles into the room like stepping into an early‑American home at dusk, where the wood is warm, the air is still, and everything feels steady and lived‑in. It’s a scent that wraps your space in heritage comfort without ever feeling heavy.

Perfect for living rooms, entryways, and any space where you want a scent that’s cozy, rustic, and beautifully timeless.

Proper Candle Care

For best results, trim wicks to ¼ inch before each burn. Allow the candle to melt fully to the edges during each use to prevent tunneling (approx. 1-2 hours). Burn no longer than 3 hours at a time, keeping away from curtains & fabrics. Always place on a heat‑safe surface. For safety, discontinue use when about ½ inch of wax remains. WARNING: Candle tin will be HOT as wax begins to melt. Do not touch or move candle until wax has completely cooled.
