Our Story
Handcraft Cottage Candles Co. was born from a love of cozy living and a deep respect for the environment. Nestled in the scenic countryside, our small family business began...that sounds all beautiful, doesn't it? Truth of the matter is The Handcraft Cottage Started out of a need to help with my anxiety. Both of our boys are grown and are venturing out into the world. Traveling, starting new jobs, starting their lives and truth of the matter is... I'm not ready for them to. Time went way too fast. Now, it's time for me to find something to keep myself busy. I've always wanted to have a small business doing something I loved. Never knowing what exactly I should do. Then as a necessity I started researching nontoxic products because my husband was having issues with his lungs whenever I would bring home the big box products. And so became The Handcraft Cottage. I soon found aromatherapy products that didn't bother his health but also gave me some anxiety relief.
My husband and I have been married for 27 years and together have 28 years of time served in the United States Marine Corps. We live on a small but chaotic farm in Idaho with 47 chickens, 11 guinea hens, 6 used to be feral cats I rescued (now they are my babies), 7 dogs and a free ranging rabbit. Most days I need some relief from the craziness and that's when I grab a shower steamer and go take a long shower to regroup.
My commitment to healthy and toxin free products drives me to use only the cleanest, eco-friendly materials like soy wax and coconut wax and phthalate-free, paraben free oils, ensuring each product not only smells wonderful but also is safe to use around your family and pets.
I take great pride making each and every product and if you aren't happy, I am not happy. Please reach out to me if for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase.
Sincerely,
Julie ♥
