When I casually tell people about my day job...
..and this is literally everyone’s face. Every. Single. Time.

No, I don’t pour candles all day (I wish). That’s the evening shift at Serenity Velvet.

Go on then, what’s your best guess?

We have done the polished intro before.This is not that.

This carousel is your permission to be nosy. swipe and you will learn the intimate, unfiltered bits about me, not the business bio. The real human behind Serenity Velvet, the habits and hill I will die on, and exactly why I should not be left unsupervised with a wick trimmer.

I have gone first and already regret it a little, which means it is your turn. Drop something your followers would never guess from your grid, or just enjoy watching me overshare.

Behind every cosy candle is a very real Monday.

Spreadsheets, stock orders, second-guessing, then remembering the 4 year old me would be buzzing that we get to build this business in the Cotswolds, with the sole aim of making people feel good.

However, business isn’t polished. It’s poured, packed and posted between cups of coffee.

If you get it, leave a 🕯️ — let’s normalise the messy middle together.

She’s back. ✨

Winter’s Night, returns this Wednesday 21st October — and she smells exactly like a Cotswold evening when the curtains are drawn early.

Poured by hand in Eastington with my new cocosoy-blend wax, the blend is built for cosy:
• Top: orange, lemon, cinnamon, clove — that first warm-spice lift when you strike the match

• Middle: jasmine softened by fresh pine — like walking home through the woods at dusk

• Base: woody musk — the bit that stays on the blanket long after the log burner fades

Light it, pull the throw a little tighter, put the kettle on. That’s the whole point.

This year she’s bringing friends: Winter’s Night will also launch as a reed diffuser and a car diffuser on Wednesday, plus we’re introducing refills for the first time (more on those over the next couple of days). Room spray is in the making — watch this space.

Small-batch pour, available from 9am Wednesday and I will be delivering to stockists throughout the day.

On my way to spend money on the business so the business can make money so I can spend it on the business…📈💷🕯️

And by “the business” I mean me. Sat in traffic on the A419, doing mental maths. 😵‍💫

Today’s damage: more fragrance oils for Autumn Walk because the test batches disappeared faster than I expected. Plus a big restock of glass jars, both the classic and the Limited Edition ones I swore I wouldn’t reorder yet, and I’m already prepping for Christmas in there too.

That’s the HMRC-approved loop, right? Spend the takings, pour the candles, sell them at the weekend market, post the Royal Mail parcels on Monday, then do it all again.

No team meeting, just me, a card reader, and a receipt I’ll photograph for QuickBooks later.

Fellow UK makers and market traders — what was your last “ah go on then” business spend? Extra oils, more jars, Christmas stock already? Tell me below, I need the solidarity!

one, and I am so here for it.
After non-stop pouring, I am keeping this month intentionally slower. Just three lovely local markets, more studio time, and a bit of breathing room before November and December go full on. My diary for the next two months is already looking wild.
The exciting bit: new products and brand new autumn/winter scents are on the curing racks right now. Fingers crossed they will be ready in time for next weekend. Watch this space, first sniff will be at the market.
Find me:
• Sat 24 Oct, 10am to 3pm, Autumn Makers Market, Cobbs at Stratford, Kings Lane, Stratford-upon-Avon
• Sun 25 Oct, 11am to 4pm, The Suffolks Sunday Market, Suffolk Parade, Cheltenham
• Sat 31 Oct, 10am to 4pm, Hatherells Yard Market, Chipping Sodbury
Come say hi, bring a tote, and tell me what you want to smell next.

✨ Pretty Candles ✨
Guilty. I make them. Hand-poured in the Cotswolds, soy-blend, and designed for those slow evenings when the kettle’s on and the world can wait.

Spot your favourite in the reel?

POV: I’m not filming another candle today...
me: lights Winter’s Night anyway 🕯️
It’s coming back. Very soon.
Winter’s Night is making its annual return — our Christmas-ready winter favourite.

Launch date TBA (we’re pouring this week).

Scent notes: orange, lemon, cinnamon and clove, with jasmine, pine and a warm woody musk base. It’s festive without being sweet — think Christmas morning, spiced orange peel, fresh pine, and a cosy fire in the background.

Been waiting for it? Drop a ❄️ below and I’ll message you the minute it’s live.

POV: I see another candle maker at the market I’m trading at 🏃‍♀️💨
This one of favourite bits of market days.

Yes, you do meet the occasional stall who goes full territorial — no chat, no eye contact — and that’s absolutely fine. We’re all running small businesses, I get it.

But more often I get a proper natter. We compare scent blends, talk wax choice, swap wick dramas, and share which markets are actually worth the 6am car pack.

There’s nothing like talking to someone who understands why you’ll re-test a fragrance oil for three weeks straight. It feels less like competition, more like community.

POV: You finally said “No” to “one-size-fits-all” home scents.

No to rows of identical products with no story. 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

No to rushed, conveyor-belt production.

No to décor that was made to fill a shelf, not your home.

Yes to small batches made with intention.

Yes to room mists and diffusers blended and bottled by hand.

Yes to candles poured slowly, one at a time, using premium fragrance oils.

Yes to knowing the maker and seeing the care in every detail.

At Serenity Velvet, every piece is created to bring calm and comfort to your space — never just to fill a warehouse.

What kind of “yes” does your home need right now? 👇
