Beautifully designed keepsake candles
My vision for Glitter Wishes developed when I was looking for the perfect candle to go on my daughter's first birthday cake. This small item was so very important to me because this would be the last first birthday to celebrate in my family. I searched the stores and the internet and was unable to find just the right colors or style. Then it hit me: make it myself! Since this time, I have been crafting custom candles for that special day to celebrate our loved ones and share the joy on their faces when they get a glimpse of that shimmering milestone. My birthday and anniversary candles are handmade by me in my in-home studio. I use nontoxic glitter paint (never loose glitter!) on these burnable wax candles. I add high quality rhinestones in over 30 colors that reflect light brilliantly. I also have various embellishments to meet themed needs.
Since opening up my shop on Etsy in 2013, I have been featured in numerous popular party websites, including Kara’s Party Ideas, Hostess with the Mostess, Catch My Party, Spaceships and Laser Beams, Mama and Baby Love, and Everyday Party Magazine, as well as other blogs. I also sell my candles in the popular local bakery, Sweet Surrender, in Bakersfield, California.
