There’s something bittersweet about the final burn of a candle — beautiful, quiet, and impossible to hold onto forever.
After 3 1/2 years, I’ve made the difficult decision to close the doors of my shop.
This space was built from passion, long nights, creativity, and the hope of creating something that felt warm, inspiring, and a little magical in the middle of the city. What I never expected was how many incredible people would become part of that story.
To everyone who supported this dream, wandered through my doors, lit one of my candles in your home, or simply believed in what I was creating — thank you. You made this little shop matter.
As I prepare to close this chapter, I’ll be holding final shopping days and a closing sale as a last thank you to this community that supported me so deeply. I would love to see your faces one more time before the lights go out for good. This week (20th-24th) will be the final weekend to book a candle class or shop
Carpe will always hold a piece of my heart, and so will this chapter.
With endless gratitude
Nikki
