Good Morning lovely makers, creators and all round lovely people, todays
post is a little different. Today I thought I would share a recent interview
that I had the privilege of being involved in with the founder and creator of
the Handmade Boutique. As many of you
know I have been asked to join this talented chorus of designs and so asked the
founder to tell us her story and this is how it goes.
So firstly can I ask who you are and where you are?
A: My name is Tracie and my business is Serendipity Candles, I am also
the founder of Handmade Boutique which was initially set up as a 14 week Pop-Up
Shop last September in The Mailbox, Birmingham, housing 17 Midlands based
Designer makers. It was such a success that we are now opening again as a
permanent Boutique in July at The Great Western Arcade, Birmingham
What is that you specifically do and when did you start?
A: I started making Soya Candles in Vintage crockery last year just for
myself as I love fragranced candles burning at home. A few of my friends asked
me to make some for them and so I looked into doing a Handmade Event to see how
they sold to the general public. I had such a great response with my first
event that it encouraged me to carry on making and developing the range to
create the business that I have now.
What would you say is uniquely different about what you do?
A: Serendipity Candles combine elegant vintage styling with beautifully scented soya wax candles to create that perfect gift for someone special or to add a touch of luxury to your home. I source the finest vintage china and glassware around to perfectly complement the long-lasting, lovingly produced candles.
Can you us more about the candles themselves?
A: Serendipity Candles are created from 100% natural soya wax which allows the scents of the natural fragrance oils to fill your home with a beautiful, pure aroma, all our Candles are hand poured. When the candle is finished, you’ll have the stunning container to use for many years to come.
I have worked hard to
develop my brand over the last 12 months and now have 17 stockists nationwide
which is very exciting. I look forward to sharing with you new developments and
opportunities as they come along. I will also be sharing with you the products
that will be featured in Handmade Boutique.
