Hi, I'm Sarah Cooley. I'm the Founder + CEO here at Simply Curated. When I started Simply Curated back in 2012 it was just what the name implies, a curated online store with a minimalist aesthetic. In the beginning, I was only curating vintage pieces and my dream was to have a store where you could always find something special to brighten your mood. Eventually, I started to make soy candles in beautiful vintage barware and that just took off. Before I knew it I was selling more candles then vintage housewares so I decided that candles would be the new direction for the company.

Our candles are all hand-poured in our studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The 100% soy wax is blended in small batches with fragrances and essential oils. Our candles are 100% phthalate free and will burn cleanly all the way down. Every single candle is poured by hand and hand labeled and packaged. We are proud to make a product that is beautiful, sustainable and 100% Made in the USA. 

Peony + Salt is our newest fragrance. Pink peonies blended with sea salt, cashmere musk and an unexpected accent of suede.

We’ve poured our signature soy candle into a chic gold travel tin so you can take a little bit of home with you wherever you go. Each tin holds 3.5 oz. and the wood wick will deliver a crackling glow for up to 15 hours. Each one of our soy travel candles burn cleanly and safely and when you’re done pop on the lid and your candle will be ready for your next escape.

How we long to escape the uncomfortable nature of strong emotions—the flood of all that it means to be human. Awareness in its most essential form also means acceptance. When we sit solidly within a moment, we become free. Not free of the flood, but free of grasping at sensations as they arise. Be still. Be solidly seated. Be free.

NOTES
Frankincense, Lavender, & Rosemary.

AFFIRMATION
I sit upright at the center of the universe.
Breath arises. I follow as it falls away, arises once more.
Forever a gateway is open where once there was none.
Now—the possibility of knowing rests in my lap.

She followed her mother into a long, thin shop where a rough wooden counter towered above her small body. She was a child, listening to the clink of small glass bottles, hearing the warm, melodious voices of women discussing all there was to savor about what it was they held up to their noses, breathing in.

It was Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley in the seventies. It was Body Time, known back then as The Body Shop. It was a store run by the magical, the beautiful, the women of scented oils and lovely skin. They mixed each scent as it was requested, glass bottles tipped one after the other as oils combined suddenly to become a scent memory that lasted her whole life. She adored her mother for bringing her there. She never forgot.

Fast forward from daughter to wife—As a young mother, Kim found herself in Colorado without family, nor an established cache of friends. One day, her earliest scent memories stirred as she conjured her own candles in the kitchen, with a kit from the local craft store. She found out she had, what’s known in the business, as a natural nose.

Kim’s first candles glittered. They were tied up with ribbon looped into large bows. Dangling from the center were small pewter fairy charms—Magic Fairy Candles was born. She gave them to friends who asked for more to give to their family and other friends. Her husband said, “Sell them!”

The first handful sold at a Longmont consignment shop. Soon after, Kim removed the glitter and bows. She found simple, durable glass manufactured in the United States. She refined the candle crafting process to utilize only the most natural materials as efficiently as she could. She hired a friend to make cold calls to shops for wholesale orders, following up with visits and samples and scents.

Kim’s children, Emily and Sebastian, were growing. Still, without a storefront, Magic Fairy Candles showed up at every craft fair and farmers market. Emily donned a green velvet dress and wings and flitted about handing out flyers. Long after she’d outgrown the dress and graduated high school, she and her mother set off for Europe together. They stayed with a friend in a flat over a chocolate factory. Kim could not get enough of the Old World—she plucked moss and mushroom, dirt and snails, smelling them all.

A trek across Paris with both daughter and friend, brought Kim to the wonders of Cire Trudon, the house of the world’s oldest candle making proprietors, those boasting to have “survived the arrival of the miracle of electricity.” Kim collapsed on the shop’s couch. She absorbed the atmosphere through her skin; she saw each scent displayed under an individual cloche. The vision for her own shop came into much finer view. The single candle she purchased at Cire Trudon, for which she paid a small fortune, burned completely, thinking more carefully about how to source her ingredients and blend her own scents.

That first batch of candles at Kim’s kitchen table was poured nearly twenty years ago.

How many candles poured to date? Perhaps a couple hundred thousand.

Kim Sorden, and the simple splendors of Magic Fairy Candles, attest to what happens when a woman journeys fully from a past resplendent with memories of mingling conversations and scents, to a business built by keeping her heart solidly rooted. Every product she offers supports and sustains farmers and artists and friends and community in Colorado and other parts of the country. Her storefront stands on Main Street in Longmont, where people now find themselves wandering in, attracted by an unknown longing for scent memories of their own.

To feel at home. We know it when our body inexplicably eases. The heart then opens to a light shining as the warm summer sun. When at last we realize it is in our power to create a space that is truly home, we need no longer search for it. It is in our hands. As it has always been.

NOTES
Eucalyptus, Orange, & Frankincense.

AFFIRMATION
Place plays its part in the vital and common.
At a pinpoint on a map, devotion is love
when hands wash across curves of the adored tabletop.
Great spirits live and breathe a caress first whispered house,
then resounded, sacred home.

To wrap yourself in love. To be complete and whole and fulfilled. If one practices living a life of tenderness when it comes to oneself, abundant energetic resources reveal themselves. Remind yourself of the preciousness of the body you inhabit, the mind you utilize, and the heart you hold dear, by following a way of life which respects and adores the self. It is possible to be whole.

May I be safe.
May I be free of suffering.
May I be happy.
May I be healthy and strong.
May I be able to live in this
world happily, peacefully,
joyfully with ease.

Light a fire under all of it!

Kim Sorden, and the simple splendors of Magic Fairy Candles, attest to what happens when a woman journeys fully from a past resplendent with memories of mingling conversations and scents, to a business built by keeping her heart solidly rooted. Every product she offers supports and sustains farmers and artists and friends and community in Colorado and other parts of the country. Her storefront stands on Main Street in Longmont, where people now find themselves wandering in, attracted by an unknown longing for scent memories of their own.

Greentree Home Candle is a small American company based in the foothills of the Catskills Mountains designing and producing handmade beeswax candles. Jenifer Green founded Greentree Home Candle in 2000. She feels that creativity is the lifeblood that makes our everyday lives spectacular. She operates her business very much like an artist eagerly greets a fresh canvas. There is a delicate mix of confidence, chance, and instinct based on her sense of style and passion for the creative process. With a fine arts background, Green hand selects and sculpts objects that appeal to her aesthetic value and inspire a sense of personal significance. From the studio, the company produces a collection of contemporary beeswax candles. The sculptural renderings are more than candles: they are objects that evoke beauty and serenity with graceful sophistication. With rich textures and a vivid palette of 18 colors, the candles are individually poured and hand-finished. Through the collections, Green aims to share her vision by creating candles that enrich the quality of our lives. Equally important to the intent and process is the choice of material. The company uses only pure beeswax. Green feels it is the ideal choice for candles because its properties are naturally accommodating to the application. "When one of our candles is lit, not only does in burn cleanly, it transforms the object and gives off the sweet scent and a luminous glow". Greentree Home's products have been featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, House Beautiful, New York Magazine, Veranda, T Magazine, Brides, Country Living, and a number of blogs including And North, Remodelista and Design Sponge

Our Field Jar collection is inspired by the naturalists of the 19th century. They traveled around the world painstakingly collecting new species and documenting their findings. Often these specimens were kept in small jars and vials with wonderful hand notated labels. Our collection recreates these old labels and the look of the corked jar. It is our hope, once the wax has burned down, that the jar will be reused to showcase some of your own findings. Pebbles, small shells, and feathers are instantly made more special when corked in these jars.

Hand-poured in the USA with our exclusive soy base.

• 35 hour burn time
• 6 ounces
• 4" tall x 3" wide

Skeem Design was founded in 2004 by husband-and-wife team Suji Meswani and Geoff Weiser. The name, Skeem, comes from the couple’s “scheme” to find a way out of the corporate grind in an effort to fully realize their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. They created a lifestyle with a healthy work-life balance that allows them to spend more time in nature and traveling. This has proven to be a large source of inspiration for their boutique home fragrance range that features candles, perfumes, incense, and match bottles. Their mission has always been to create beautiful, useful products, eliminate excess packaging, and to produce as much of the line in the US as possible. Many of their products are designed to be reusable. Match bottles can be refilled or repurposed to hold a single flower stem. Empty Field Jars and Match Cloches can be used to display a found object, and their modern candle vessels are great for holding bathroom, kitchen, and desk items.
