2025 was certainly a raggedy b***h, but she taught me some lifelong lessons!

Our monthly substack, Middle Daughter, is a journey of curiosity, self reflection, and everything along the way. Be sure to subscribe - the link is in our bio!

Cheers to 2026, y’all!

Wishing you warmth and a beautiful beginning to the year ahead.

With gratitude,

Chicago makers! We’re building something special, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Introducing Sanctum: our inaugural winter market, rooted in connection, craft, and community. Happening February 1, 2026 at Hoste in Pilsen.

This isn’t a packed, transactional market.
It’s an intentionally curated third-space gathering where guests slow down, linger, and discover the stories behind your work.

We’re seeking:
artisans, creators, designers, small-batch makers, and brands who value care, craftsmanship, and culture.

No application fee. Payment only if selected.
Apply by December 31, 2025. Link in bio

Let’s build something beautiful together.

My studio is small, but my dream isn’t.
I almost didn’t post this because my space isn’t “perfect”…
but perfection isn’t the goal — growth is. Every jar, every scent, every order is built with my hands and a whole lot of heart.
Thank you for believing in small beginnings.

If you support real people building real dreams, you’re in the right place.

Tell me in the comments:
What dream are you building right now?

Follow us for more behind-the-scenes, scent stories, and the journey from this tiny studio to our future community space, Sanctum.
Share this to support small creators today.

Sidenote: I promise I’m not dancing to anything but alternative or a slow song. I’m dramatic, ha.

We had such a great time at the Wrightwood-Ashburn Library sharing the art of luxury candle-making with the community! There’s something special about watching everyone tap into their creativity and leave with a candle that’s uniquely theirs.

We believe luxury should be accessible—whether you’re pouring candles with coworkers, celebrating with friends, or hosting a holiday event.

We offer public, private, and corporate candle-making experiences that bring people together in a relaxed, hands-on way—perfect for the season of gathering and gratitude.

This year has been a ride, and we’d love to share the journey with you. We’re starting something new: Middle Daughter, a free newsletter about everything and nothing, and all the curiosities in between.

Yes, there will be candles — but also stories, reflections, and the little things that make life feel full.

Named in honor of my parents, Iris & Edward, Middle Daughter is a tribute to legacy, family, and the beauty of the in-between. I’m so glad you’re here.
