Hand Pouring Southern Memories and Island Dreams into our Candles in Maryville, TN
I was raised on front-porch evenings — where time slowed, cornbread cooled on the counter, and the air smelled like home. I have fond memories of front porch swings and shelling peas with my Grandma. And somewhere between those southern roots and the island dreams that always called to me, Coconuts & Cornbread was born.
Our candles blend two worlds we love — front-porch comfort and island escape — creating scents that feel both nostalgic and adventurous. Familiar and freeing.
Each collection tells a story:
• The Coconuts collection brings island air, ocean breezes, and vacation memories home.
• The Cornbread collection captures sweet Southern comforts and sayings that feel like family.
• The Men’s Line is bold, clean, and confident — uncomplicated scents with presence and character.
• The Spa Collection creates calm, peaceful spaces with soft, soothing fragrances designed to help you unwind and breathe a little deeper.
Every candle is hand-poured in small batches with our premium coconut and beeswax blend for a smooth, even burn and unforgettable fragrance throw.
Beeswax adds natural richness and a slow, steady glow that complements our coconut base — like the sweet honey on your cornbread or the warmth of the setting island sun over the horizon.

More than anything, our candles are reminders to rest, to remember, to desire, and to be EXACTLY who you are.
Because at the heart of Coconuts & Cornbread is our core belief — to stay true to where you came from, to what you love, and to WHO you are.
From front porch roots - to island soul...
Always be you ❤️
Melody & Rick
