By CL Candles & More
It all started with coffee.
Mornings spent at my craft table, candles cooling in rows, and a tumbler full of caffeine by my
side. Over time, that simple cup became part of my creative rhythm — and eventually, it became
part of CL Candles & More itself.
Here’s the story of how our handmade drinkware line went from a market-day idea to one of our
most-loved collections.
🌿 1. The Beginning: A Maker’s Morning Must-Have
When I first started setting up at craft shows, I’d always have my iced coffee with me — but
never the right cup. Plastic cups would sweat, paper ones would fall apart, and nothing matched
the cozy farmhouse style I love.
So, I decided to make my own.
✨ Cassie’s Reflection:
“I wanted something simple, neutral, and handmade — something that fit right in with my
candles and cozy aesthetic.
”
That first tumbler — clear glass, sturdy, and beautifully minimal — became the spark for a whole
new part of my business.
☕ 2. Designed for Everyday Comfort
Our drinkware line was built with one simple idea: make every sip feel special.
Whether it’s morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a cold drink at a summer market, I wanted to
create pieces that were not only functional but also felt like home.✨ Why People Love Them:
16oz size — perfect for coffee, tea, or smoothies
Easy to clean & reuse
Pairs beautifully with candles and cozy setups
Custom designs for every season
💛 Cassie’s Tip: “These aren’t just tumblers — they’re part of your daily routine, designed to
make even a Monday morning feel a little cozier.
”
🎨 3. From Market Display to Customer Favorite
When I first brought a few of my handmade glass tumblers to a craft show, I thought they’d be a
small side item — something cute to complement the candles.
I was wrong.
✨ Cassie’s Memory:
“They sold out before lunch. People kept saying,
‘These look like something I’d see on
Pinterest!’ and that’s when I knew — these were special.
”
Since then, the drinkware line has grown to include seasonal designs, cozy sayings, and styles
that fit right alongside every candle scent.
🩶 Cassie’s Note: “Now, every time I set up at a market, I always bring extra — because
someone always needs a new favorite tumbler.
”
🍓 4. Handmade Meets Heartmade
Every tumbler is designed with care — from the sayings and fonts to the feel of it in your hands.
It’s all about intention.
✨ Our Drinkware Aesthetic:

Clean, farmhouse-inspired designs●
●

Made to complement our candles, wax melts, and décor
💛 Cassie’s Tip: “Our tumblers make amazing gifts — pair one with a candle for the perfect
handmade bundle.
”
🌸 5. What It Means to Me Now
What started as a maker’s coffee cup has grown into a customer favorite that now travels
everywhere — from office desks to market tables, from road trips to cozy mornings at home.
✨ Cassie’s Reflection:
“Seeing people sip from something I designed — something I once only used in my little
workspace — still gives me chills. It’s a reminder that small ideas can grow into something truly
meaningful.
”
🩶 Cassie’s Note: “Every time I make a tumbler, I picture someone holding it during their own
slow morning — and that’s why I keep doing what I do.
”

matching tumblers.

cups — is designed to bring warmth to your hands and heart.
