Scented Candles
have always been a part of my
home. In addition, the aromatherapy from scented candles relax and
soothes me. Yet, I was frequently frustrated with the expensive scented
candles that I was burning. The expensive candles seemed to be richly
scented before burning them, but once burning the fragrance throw was minimal.
The most frustrating element of those expensive scented candles was when the candle would tunnel down the middle, leaving an inch or so of
scented wax
on the side of the jar.
I decided that
I was going to learn how to make a great burning
scented candle.
Testing began with dozens of different waxes, wicks, richly scented fragrances
and formulas in my kitchen. After many months of trial and error, I
finally developed a clean burning scented candle, that was richly scented,
and was made with the very best of ingredients.
Through word of mouth,
SpringHouse Candles and Scents began to grow. Eventually, and to the
relief of my family in October, 2000, production of our candles
was moved into a new manufacturing building, including a retail store, on our
farm.
I have been blessed with many wonderful employees, past and present,
that contribute to this great business. Without them, this
successful business would not happen. These employees are the
backbone to this company, and I am forever grateful to all of them.
We are 50 something women, doing what we love
to do.
Every year we strive to have the best product we can possibly offer.
We take great pride in what we do, and feel truly blessed to be able
to share it with you.

SpringHouse Candles and Scents

Our name, SpringHouse
Candles and Scents was inspired by a 150 year-old springhouse that is located
on our farm. There was a time when many springs in this area were covered
by a small building, usually made of stone. As spring water issues
from the earth at a temperature of approximately 65 degrees, these small
buildings were constructed to hold a constant pool of water about one foot
deep. Although originally built to keep milk, cream and other perishables
cool, the springhouse also served as an escape from the summer heat as well
as a quiet retreat. Candles were then made from tallow and beeswax. The springhouse
provided a perfect place to hang candles to cool.
