The Farmhouse Candle Collection is here!
For this collection to really make sense, I need to tell you a little story, you could call it my love story… in the early Winter of 2008 some friends of mine brought me to a birthday party of a friend that just so happened to live on a big farm in Jackson, New Jersey. I was newly 21 and absolutely not looking to find the love of my life that night, but the universe had other plans! When we turned down a dark corner which opened up into a beautiful tree lined lane with horses all around me I thought “I think I’m in love already.” It didn’t help that my husband was bald, a premonition I set forth when I was in the sixth grade and saw Vin Diesel in The Fast and the Furious and came out to the car and confidently told my mother “I am going to marry a bald man.”
Fast forward more than a decade and this little hood rat from the outskirts of Trenton, New Jersey spends most of her days trailing behind her husband and mother in law, Diane (farmer lady) with her son as he lovingly cares for 50+ cattle, horses, goats, chickens, sheep and alpacas… or in the wood shop learning (and promptly forgetting) with my father in law, the Mr. fix it dad I always dreamed of… or on the playground with my sister in law and resident photographer, Jess, and my two amazingly cute nephews Wyatt and Beau.
From the Vogel clan I’ve learned that the best night’s sleep comes after a hard days work, cocktails almost always fix everything and getting back to basics - family, the land and love - can turn your life purposeful and whole.
So TLDR: a little punk married a farmer and all sorts of craftiness ensued this candle collection is my love letter to the Vogel farm and everyone in it! Poured in a vintage style Ball mason jars in varying shades of blue and green, these six scents touch on all the best parts of farm life!
