Hi friends! 👋 My name is Mariia Herasymliuk, and along with my husband Ivan, we founded our small Candle Studio in Ukraine in 2016. What started as a heartfelt project quickly grew into a family endeavor, with my mother, sisters, and brother joining our passionate team of artisans🌟

Our journey began in the picturesque village of Knyazhpil in Western Ukraine, where we crafted candles with love, held workshops for children, and showcased our work at fairs and exhibitions across the country 🇺🇦 In 2020, we moved to Tokmak in Eastern Ukraine as missionaries, continuing our creative work until February 24, 2022, when the full-scale invasion of Ukraine changed everything. Our home and workshop were occupied, but our spirit remained unbroken 💔

Despite the challenges, we’ve found a new home in Toronto, where we are reigniting our passion for candle making🕯️ Each intricately carved candle carries a piece of our history, resilience, and the warmth of our hearts. We pour our soul into every design, ensuring that each candle is not just a source of light but a symbol of hope and beauty in your home🌟

By purchasing our candles, you’re not just getting a beautiful piece of art—you’re supporting a family that has overcome adversity and continues to shine brightly✨ We are thrilled to share a part of our warmth with you and hope our candles bring light and joy to your life💖

Thank you for being a part of our story🙏
