Local Maker Spotlight

There are so many cool local artisans here in Charleston. You can find them all around town at art markets and craft fairs, plus the occasional farmers market. But the holiday season brings a plethora of bonus markets. These are two of my favorite local candle makers, so if you see either of these ladies around town stop by and get something!

Cinder & Loam - I love the big jar candles from her, there are a few scents I absolutely adore.
Candle Damsel - This is such a fun idea, she finds vintage glassware and other glass vessels and fills them with candles. You can collect the glassware like me, or you can go back to have her re-fill a favorite one.
