The Heart of it all

This week I came into the shop to start off my week and was thrilled to find someone had vomited on our sidewalk out front. Not exactly an enticing welcome from us.

So I started cleaning *that* up, and it made me think. Running a small business is more than just a job; it's a commitment. I'm deeply invested in every aspect of our craft at Oak Lane Candle Co., from the careful selection of our ingredients to the meticulous pouring of each candle.

The reality of small business ownership is that challenges are inevitable. Balancing the diverse demands of creation, production, and customer service requires significant effort and careful management. There are long hours, complex problem-solving, and the constant drive to maintain the high standards we set for ourselves.

However, it's precisely this hands-on involvement in every facet of our business that fuels our passion. We believe that the direct connection we have to our craft, and ultimately, to you, our customers, is what sets us apart. We pour our energy and expertise into every candle, ensuring that the final product reflects the quality and care we value.

Your support enables us to continue pursuing this commitment to excellence. When you choose an Oak Lane candle, you're not simply purchasing a product; you're investing in a small business that values community, craftsmanship, dedication, and the enduring connection between maker and customer.

For that, we are sincerely grateful.
