5 out of 5 starsthis is an excellent old book smell. there used to be an "old library" candle i adored. but the company stopped making it, i've been looking for a replacement ever since. i've finally found it. the perfect balance of wood pulp aged paper vanilla, and oh so subtle musky leather.

4 out of 5 starsnice smelling candle, but struggles to actually burn evenly. the first time i lit it up after trimming the wick, it never did burn the far edge even when i burned the candle for the maximum time suggested. i ended up needing to (carefully) use my hair dryer to heat the outer edges of the jar to melt the wax so the pool would dry evenly. on the second light, it ultimately does melt the "far" edge from the wick at least, but you can tell it just barely managed it because the wax pool on the "close" edge is much deeper by the time this happens.

4 out of 5 starsnice smelling candle, but it doesn't burn evenly. i always keep my wicks trimmed/follow burn instructions, but one edge of the jar fails to melt at all unless i wrap the candle in tin foil to trap the heat at the top for longer

5 out of 5 starsI've been trying to find the perfect campfire candle, and this one is at the top of the list. It's genuinely woody and smokey, without the sweetness of many other versions.

Candles!!!!
We love to create and right now our inspiration is candles. We currently are in love with our book inspired candles series.
I am an educator by day, a candle maker by night. I have always loved art and reading. Our book inspired candles have bridged the two and I hope you like them. We make all of our candles in small batches.
We make 100% vegan soy candles that produce a long, clean burn. We make all of our candles in small batches in our studio in west central Minnesota. We started selling our candles on Etsy www.lostbirch.etsy.com with our book inspired candle line. Our book inspired candles were recently mentioned in a New York Times article entitled Millennial, Book and Candle, about setting the mood for reading with candles.
Because we were born and raised in Minnesota we decided to make a Minnesota themed line of candles to pay homage to our beautiful state! We are excited to announce the release of the Minnesota line.
