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
