I am a nurse by vocation and I love what I do, but given the science of the medical field, it leaves very little room for creativity and artistic ability. Burlap and Lace Candles bloomed from my desire to have an area for artistic release when I got home from my day at the hospital!

I have always loved scented candles, the more scent the better and I burn them constantly in my home. A couple of years ago, I took care of a patient in the hospital who was dying of lung cancer...and had never smoked a day in her life. The doctors determined she most likely developed cancer after burning candles in her home-all day, everyday. Really!? I thought that was the craziest thing I had ever heard. I then started researching whether this could really cause cancer, and sure enough, I found lots of research and information on the contents of paraffin wax and how many could be carcinogenic (cancer causing). This sparked my mission to create candles that were both safe and healthy to burn, while maintaining a strong, beautiful scent. I fell in love with all natural soy wax. It is toxin free, eco-friendly, supports American agriculture, burns beautifully with minimal to no ash, and it holds a tremendous amount of scent! Burlap and Lace Candle Company was born!

Try a Burlap and Lace Candle! You won't be disappointed!
