We are so excited to welcome a new Michigan candle maker to the shop this year. Meet The Grace Effect Candles!
A little bit about The Grace Effect Candles:
"At The Grace Effect, everything begins at the kitchen table.
Wax curing beside the sink, labels stacked next to homework, something warm baking in the oven - life and work woven together in the most ordinary, beautiful way.
We create clean, small-batch candles and thoughtful home goods inspired by slow Michigan mornings, lake air, wildflowers, and the simple rituals that make a house feel like home. Each piece is hand-poured, packed, and designed with care, meant to be used every day - not saved for someday - because we believe everyday life deserves beauty.
At the heart of it all is Grace.
Grace, our daughter who happens to have Down syndrome, is our partner in this business and the reason it exists - helping pour candles, placing labels, and reminding us daily that meaningful work is about belonging, pride, and purpose. The Grace Effect is our promise to build a future where her gifts - and the gifts of others in the disability community - are seen, valued, and given real opportunity to shine.
When you bring our products into your home, you're not just lighting a candle, you're joining a story about family, inclusion, and creating light that lasts far beyond the flame."
A must purchase candle from The Grace Effect is their lilac candle! This candle evokes the nostalgic scent of Mackinac Island's lilac bushes in full bloom. Whether burning or sitting unlit on your coffee table, it will transport you to a time when fresh cut bouquets of lilacs filled the air with their enchanting fragrance.
Experience the most realistic lilac aroma we've ever found in a candle. Let its delightful scent bring a touch of springtime and cherished memories into your home.
Each candle is poured with 100% soy wax, cotton wick and scented with phthalate free essential oils.
We’re excited to be carrying this beautiful candle line!
