Gram, also known as Angela was the life of the party. Known to light up a room and bring love and kindness to everyone who met her. When asked what is something she enjoyed doing, her answer was always "cooking and having my family and friends at my house, it was much more friendly and intimate. I love the cozy feeling. When my guests walk in the door I want them to feel welcome, like they belong there."

Anytime you told her there would be more people than expected because you randomly invited other people over she always responded, "Oh honey that's wonderful, I can't wait to meet them".

Angela's love for her family and friends combined with her love for having her children and their children come home for the holidays or simply a weekend visit has proven to be the simplest definition of "there's no place like home".

I started making candles as a way to do something meaningful in honor of my gram. She was a constant source of warmth and light in my life, and candle-making became a way to carry that spirit forward. Every candle I make is a small tribute to her — a way to keep her memory glowing and share that same sense of comfort with others. Each candle is hand poured with love, math and a probably a few cuss words and labeled in her own handwriting, a personal subtle signature of the care and love behind every pour.

Love Gram xoxo
