We’re open. 🤎
Today, Crookston Candles officially returns, and the Hearth & Home Fall Collection is finally here.
To understand what this day means, I have to take you back to the day before we lost Dave.
I wanted to quit.
I told him I was afraid the candle business was taking too much away from our family.
Dave looked at me and said, “I literally see a light in you. I have never seen you light up the way you do when you’re making candles and talking about this business. This is what you’re meant to do. Whatever it takes, I will help you. You can’t quit.”
By the next morning, he was gone.
His death changed every part of us. We lost our safe place, our rock, and the center of our family.
Crookston Candles is more than a name on a label, it is the story of a family that has loved deeply, lost immeasurably and kept moving forward anyway. We’ve fought our way through grief and are still here, still loving, still living, still rebuilding and still carrying Dave’s love & light into every new season.
This new beginning for us has come with obstacles too. Yet, even the Promised Land in the Bible had giants. Difficulty does not always mean we are headed in the wrong direction. Sometimes faith means facing what stands before us and taking the next step anyway.
Hearth & Home was born from everything our family has loved, lost and carried forward. Every candle and gift is our way of placing a little light into someone else’s hands, so they feel seen, loved and less alone in whatever season they are walking through. That is our heart, and that is why we keep going. 🤎
The online doors are officially open.
A new home.
A new season.
A new beginning.
The same heart.
