A Short Story of A Small Candle Shop

Opal and Wonder is a candle company for the adventurous, lovers of life. Our mission is simple: share light and love. Rooted in the Appalachian mountains, Opal and Wonder was inspired by the mountain community. Each candle is carefully thought out and designed to honor all the goodness the wilderness provides us.

Have you ever walked into a home lit with candles? Instant comfort- right? That’s the feeling I get; maybe because this was my entire childhood. My mom always had about 20 candles lit, several in each room. They would fill the house with the most amazing aromas, making it so warm and cozy. When I moved into my own place I made sure to follow in her foot steps and stayed true to my belief that a house with candles burning has great positive energy.
And one mediocre day I decided that I would combine my love for creating with my passion for candles. It took nearly a year of trial and error to produce in my opinion- the perfect candle. I desperately wanted to open shop the day I figured out the magical formula, but this was just the begining. My vision had been evolving since I planned to open a candle shop, but it was bringing it to life that took some time and hard work.

Opal and Wonder is proud to call Asheville, NC home. All candles are created to inspire hope and well being. Each one is carefully hand-poured and made to transport you to a special time or place, awaken emotions and lighten moods. Bring the mountain spirit into your home and help us spread light and love!
