NEW Limited Edition teacup candles are here!

Although the weather in some parts of the country may be bleak, we have some new cheer here at Aurum Naturals: teacup candles! A friend had some leftover cup-and-saucer sets after a birthday party, so I have made them into candles. These would make a pretty gift for Valentine's Day, or for warming one's spirits on these cold and snowy days. After using the candle, the cups may be briefly frozen to remove any remaining wax, then cleaned/washed, and used for a lifetime of tea! There are four designs to choose from, each in very limited quantities, available now through the website:

The Great Colorful Candle Clearance Sale of 2026 is here! I try to keep the candle prices low/fair throughout the year, so I'm typically not able to offer sales. This is an exception to clear out candles that were made pre-2025, before I changed suppliers of white beeswax and dye. "Old" beeswax burns just as well as new beeswax-- in fact, beeswax can be preserved for thousands of years! However, I now use a triple-filtered white beeswax from North Carolina, which retains the wonderfully sweet honey fragrance of traditional yellow beeswax straight from the hive. The old white wax came from a supplier in Illinois whose wax is also mechanically filtered with no chemicals or bleaching agents, though the old wax has a more neutral and slightly pungent odor. Additionally, I transitioned to an ECO dye which is REACH-certified and RAL-certified, and free of phthalates and parabens. The older colored candles were made with standard dye from CandleChem, so they are available at a substantial discount until the inventory is gone! We have chime candles in white, pink, purple, light blue, and dark blue; several sizes and styles of pillar and taper candles in white; a few vibrant bright "hot pink" tapers left over from a special order; and several Advent sets! We also have some red taper candles made with the new ECO dye this Christmas season, sold at a discount due to blemishes or imperfections on the candle surfaces. This is a good opportunity to stock up on handmade beeswax candles at a great price! https://www.aurum-naturals.com/clearance

Did you know? Most white beeswax is bleached using caustic chemicals that impart an unpleasant odor to the final product. In contrast, all of the white beeswax used in our candles comes from a family farm in North Carolina. They use a purely mechanical triple-filtering process, in which melted wax is poured through a series of filters with consecutively smaller pores to remove the pollen and propolis that contribute to beeswax's natural yellow color. The result is a lovely ivory-colored wax with a mild but delightfully sweet aroma. Tapers, pillars, votives, and chimes are available in white beeswax.

November is here, and we have several new Christmas/holiday candle designs this year!

For those looking for a large, substantial pillar candle to last the season, consider one of the two new reindeer-in-winter scenes, each of which burn about 75 hours. The bell-shaped candle presents an elegant look with ribbons and filigree designs. Also new this year are two ball candles meant to resemble ornaments: one with snowflakes, and the other with festive holly. For those seeking small "stocking stuffer" candles, we have a Christmas tree, Santa, and snowman!

As always, the candles are handmade from 100% beeswax (harvested in Michigan and Wisconsin), and 100% cotton wicks. There are no other ingredients! These candles and many more are now available.

Next Saturday and Sunday-- September 27th and 28th-- we will be at the Detroit Central Market as part of the Fall Harvest Weekend at Greenfield Village. The Market building was a gathering place for farmers and community members selling their goods from 1861 to 1893. Several years ago it was restored and reconstructed in Greenfield Village using many of the original materials. I'll be there both days from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with a full array of beeswax candles, along with other local vendors selling handmade foods and crafts. Many other fun and educational activities, including apple butter demonstrations, corn husk braiding, cider pressing, and live dulcimer and fiddle music, will be ongoing throughout the weekend. I hope to see you there!

Savor the crisp fall atmosphere with historical foodways demonstrations, games, crafts and specialty demonstrations, including beer brewing, yarn dyeing and operations at our historic Cider Mill.

Announcing... three new beeswax candles! The lily-of-the-valley and chrysanthemum pillars complement the other floral candles we have been making for many years. They are beautifully adorned with detailed designs. The honeybee meadow mini pillar is a small pillar (slightly larger than a votive) decorated with bees, blooming flowers, and honeycomb! All of the above make cheerful gifts for oneself or a friend. As always, the candles are handmade in my home studio with 100% Michigan and Wisconsin beeswax, and braided cotton wicks.

I'm aiming to have the Christmas/holiday candles available starting October 1st. There are several lovely new designs-- and, yes, the Advent countdown candles will finally be back this year! :-)

Hello, friends of Aurum Naturals! The rose tealights are finally back in stock. These elegant rose candles are handmade (by me!) of 100% pure Michigan and Wisconsin beeswax. Each tealight burns for about four hours, and they come in a box of six for $9. I will continue making these until the mold disintegrates again! 😂
