About
Willow Home Goods started from a simple Google search of “how to make candles” during the COVID-19 pandemic. Like so many others, the pandemic allowed me to slow down and explore something new.
I quickly learned that there is a lot of science behind candle making and it took years of testing different waxes, wicks, and fragrance oils to create a slow and clean burning candle.
I struggled to find just the right vessel to use as I wanted both a minimalistic look and a reusable container. After being disappointed in what was out there, I decided to try my hand at concrete making. That’s right, all the vessels are handmade out of concrete!
The fragrance oils used are high-end unique blends. In fact, the scents often trigger memories and I frequently hear “this scents remind me of…..”
