By CL Candles & More
Every small business starts with a spark — a quiet passion that turns into something much
bigger than expected. For me, CL Candles & More started as a hobby. Just me, a few supplies, a kitchen counter full of candle jars, and a dream to create something meaningful.
I never imagined that small spark would grow into a brand filled with warmth, farmhouse charm,
and thousands of cozy handmade pieces loved by so many of you.
Here’s how it all began.
🌸 It Started with a Love for Creating
I’ve always been someone who loves to make things — candles, crafts, décor, anything that
brings a little joy into a home. What began as weekend projects and gifts for family slowly became something more.
✨ Cassie’s Memory:
“I started making candles just for fun — to have something calming to do after work. Then a few
people asked if they could buy some… and that’s when I realized this little hobby had heart.”
What once filled my spare time became something that filled my soul.
🕯 Turning Passion Into Purpose
As orders grew, so did my vision. It wasn’t just about candles anymore — it was about creating comfort. I wanted to build a brand that made people feel cozy, connected, and cared for.
That’s when CL Candles & More truly came to life.
✨ Cassie’s Goal:
To make products that mean something
To remind people of the beauty in slow, handmade living
To fill homes with warmth — through scent, style, and simplicity
💛 Cassie’s Note: “Every candle, wax melt, or tee I create carries that same purpose — to make your home a little happier.”
☕ Growing Beyond the Kitchen Table
Like many makers, I started small — one table, a few boxes, and big dreams. I learned everything I could about wicks, scents, and labels (and spilled more wax than I care to admit😅).
Each mistake was part of the journey. And each small win — a returning customer, a kind review, a craft show sellout — reminded me that this dream was worth chasing.
✨ Cassie’s Memory:
“I’ll never forget the first time someone bought a candle and came back to say how much they loved it. That moment made it real — I wasn’t just creating things, I was creating joy.”
🪵 The Handmade Expansion
As my business grew, I started adding more handmade pieces — farmhouse décor, shadow boxes, cozy T-shirts, and glass tumblers.
Each new item came from a mix of creativity and customer love. People wanted pieces that helped them decorate their homes, give meaningful gifts, and live a little slower — and that’s what I wanted to give them.
🩶 Cassie’s Note: “Every new product I launch has a story behind it — something inspired by a feeling, a customer, or a moment in my own life.”
🌿 Finding Purpose in Every OrderNo matter how much Cassie’s Custom Creations grows, one thing will never change — the heart behind it.
Every time someone lights one of my candles, hangs a shadow box, or wears a cozy tee, they’re holding something that came from love and hard work.
✨ Cassie’s Promise:
●Handmade will always come first
●Quality will always matter
●Heart will always guide every creation
💛 Cassie’s Note: “This business may have started as a hobby, but it became my purpose — a way to share light, comfort, and meaning with the world.”
💌 Final Thoughts
Sometimes the best things start small — with one idea, one spark, and one person willing to try.
CL Candles & More grew from a hobby into a handmade brand because of people like you — who believe in supporting small dreams, cozy homes, and the beauty of simple things made with heart.
✨ From my hands to your home — thank you for being part of this journey.
