MEET YOUR CHANDLER

Hi, I’m Heather. I’m the heart, hands, and occasional chaos behind Flickers West Candles.

I didn’t just wake up one day and decide to make candles that look like food. I grew up in a candle-making family, surrounded by wax, wicks, and the smell of creativity (and sometimes singed hair). My parents have been at it for over 30 years, and I learned the ropes right alongside them.

Eventually, I added my own spin: a love of painting, cake decorating, and making all kinds of things- all with a borderline concerning level of detail obsession. Somewhere along the way, my sense of humor got baked into the wax too.

Every candle here is hand-crafted in small batches with care, curiosity, and just enough mayhem to keep things interesting. Some look like dessert. Some smell like memories. Some might confuse your friends. That’s part of the fun.

Whether it’s a cinnamon roll, a coney dog, or something clean and classic, I make each one to spark something- A laugh. A smile. A little peace. Or all three.

Thank you for being here and for supporting handmade, and for letting me do what I love (even when it gets weird). I don’t take it lightly.

(Yes, that’s a candle pun.)
