Of Curious Nature Candle Co

Of Curious Nature Candle Co Hand poured all natural soy candles with a Yooper theme. Yooper themed all natural soy candles handcrafted in small batches in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Each scent is inspired by popular Yooper sayings, expressions, places and apparel. It's well known that our sense of smell is directly linked to our memory more than any of our other senses. It was with this in mind that I created Of Curious Nature Candles. Each candle is made not just to produce a pleasant aroma, but with the hopes that it will transport you to a cherished memory of a unique and

personal experience in the Yoop. Have you ever been to the Porkies? Have you ever seen the northern lights from the shores of Gitche Gumee? Ever taken a two rut to get to camp? Crossed the Mighty Mac and immediately know that you're in God's Country? Wore a chook, choppers and swampers? Swatted a skeeter the size of a small bird? All fun Yooperisms that are part of daily life here in the Yoop! My candles are hand poured in very small batches right here in my kitchen. I use 100% all natural soy wax and "clean scent" fragrance oils. Clean scent fragrance oils are free of carcinogens and toxins. The wicks are constructed from all-natural ring-spun cotton. They do not contain zinc, lead, or any other metals. My hope is that my candles help you relive your Yooper experience or allow you to share your experience with others by sharing a candle with them.

Last week at a candle pouring class, I told someone, “If I don’t make mistakes, I don’t learn.”

Apparently the universe heard me and said, “Challenge accepted.” 🤦‍♀️😂

Yesterday I:
• Realized I ordered the wrong jars (9 dozen to be exact)
• Realized I ordered lids that don’t even fit the wrong jars
• Poured 16 candles with the wrong wick
• And realized I am now basically out of jars for my fall candles

When I screw up, apparently I like to be thorough. 😂

Could I get fired over this?

Hell no. I own the place.

Unfortunately, that also means I’m stuck with the employee responsible. 🤣

The correct jars AND lids are now on order, but if I’m lucky they won’t be here until the end of the week. Then I still have to pour, cure, label and get everything ready to go.

So yes, I’ve managed to set myself back at least a week or two.

A few of you have messaged asking when the fall scents will be available. I do have a limited number on hand, but not a lot — and that inventory is shared between local sales, my website and Etsy.

So if you’re waiting on fall candles, please give me a little patience and grace while I dig myself out of the hole I very enthusiastically created. 😂

They ARE coming. 🍂🎃

And apparently, so is a whole lot of learning.

Good thing I can’t fire myself.

Tonight’s candle pouring workshop at Lake Effects Art Center was such a fun one! 🕯️🍂

This crew caught on FAST — and before long, everyone was helping each other, swapping tips, laughing, and visiting while we waited for those candles to cool down enough to head home.

Honestly, that’s one of my favorite parts of these workshops. You come to make a candle… and somehow end up sitting around the table chatting like you’ve known each other forever. ❤️

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight and made it such a great class — you were a fun bunch! 🕯️

And a big thank you to Lake Effects Art Center for having me!

🍂 GUESS WHAT, COZY CABIN LOVERS?! 🍂

I’ve been waiting to say this…

COZY CABIN IS BACK! 🙌🤎

After struggling to get the fragrance oil last year, I finally have it back in stock and I am SO excited to bring this favorite back for fall!

Warm, cozy, woodsy and just plain fall in the U.P. 🍁

If you’ve been missing Cozy Cabin, your wait is almost over. 🕯️

Fall is smelling pretty darn good around here. 😍

And here’s the satisfying part… pouring the wax melts! 🍂🙌

There’s just something about watching that warm soy wax fill each little clamshell that makes my candle-making heart happy. 😂

Fall production is officially underway at Of Curious Nature Candle Co. and the candle room is starting to smell VERY cozy. 🍁🎃
