Wende's shop is overflowing with beautiful

filled with your favorite scented candles and
colorful accessories for your home or office.
Everything created by Wende is gorgeous...from
her little Acorn Sachets to her handmade Pillows
to her Soy Candles and her images are like candy
for the eyes.
I've asked Wende to share her story and the special
reasons why she decided to open her shop on Etsy.
It's a peak into the spark that started Wende on this
journey to develop her own handmade line of spa
We could all use some les choses de luxe because
life should be filled with beauty that inspires us.
Our home is a special place where we gather
our thoughts and the place where our dreams
come to life.
What inspired you to create this new line of candles?
Mireio has always made amazing soy candles--- usually
in upcycled or recycled glass. But for the longest time,
I’ve been craving something more evocative of spa like
the fragrances Mireio is best known for creating.
Something that is long lasting and soothing—something
that lets you take the spa with you. And I don’t think
any glass says “Spa” like the frosted tumbler.
What are the ingredients in your handmade candles?
I always start with eco-friendly soy wax. Did you know
that soy burns cleaner than paraffin wax? And it also
burns differently. In fact, I have a great tutorial on how
to best burn your soy candle ---and how to salvage it
if your candle accidentally goes awry.
As well, I only use a cotton wick to keep the sooting
at a minimum. It’s easier on the environment and it’s
easier on your lungs. As always, Mireio candles feature
only the best of fragrances---and this line is poured into
the loveliest of frosted glass. When you’re done, a quick
clean-up and you can reuse the glass in a number of ways.
I think they make lovely little vases for a handful of flowers.
Just the right size for my desk in my studio!
What is the handmade story behind your desire
to create
these lovely products and to share them with others?
I’ll confess, I’m a candle addict! And there is nothing more
disappointing than to get a candle home from the store and
not have it “perform” properly. Whether it doesn’t smell as
good burning or it doesn’t burn correctly---it’s maddening!
So, three years ago, I decided I would create my own line
of candles that would both smell amazing AND have a long
life. I spend a lot of time sourcing just the right ingredients to
create a long lasting and still eco-friendly candle. My customers
just a few really amazing fragrances, and I only add new scents
that live up to my standards. We do a lot of fragrance blending
and testing at my house!
