Our Story

Hi, I'm Teresa, the founder of Candlelight Cottage.

What began as a creative outlet quickly became something more—a way to capture the feelings, memories, and moments that make a house feel like home.

I've always been drawn to the small things that stay with us: the scent of mulled cider at a fall festival, fresh coffee on a quiet morning, summer berries picked at dusk, or the glow of a lantern during an evening spent with people you love. Those moments often pass quickly, but fragrance has a remarkable way of bringing them back.

Every Candlelight Cottage fragrance begins with a story. Some are inspired by cherished memories, others by places I've loved, and many by the simple joys of everyday life. Each candle is hand-poured in Colorado and thoughtfully crafted to create an experience—not just a scent.

Today, Candlelight Cottage is built around three collections:

  • The Lantern Collection celebrates comfort, connection, and treasured memories.
  • The Shimmer Collection captures sunshine, celebration, and carefree adventures.
  • The Moonbeam Collection invites wonder, imagination, and a touch of magic.

My hope is that when you light one of our candles, you're reminded of a favorite memory—or inspired to create a new special moment. 

Thank you for being part of the story.

Scentfully yours, 

Teresa
