Bretara Handcrafted Soy Candles and More

04/01/2026

I'm sorry Bretara Handcrafted Soy Candles and More is closed. I cannot delete my page due to technical difficulties & FB doesnt make it easy.

Hey all, just wanted to let you know, that Bretara Handcrafted Soy Candles and More "officially" will be closing it's doors and no longer will be selling candles at our favorite farmer's markets ( Dodge Park Thursdays), The Victorian Art Fair (Creative Arts Association), or with our friends at Olde Heritage Vintage Market. Making fragrant candles was such a wonderful experience, and I really still love it; however, with the rise in cost of quality products, I can't justify it any longer. I will still have my fragrances (most of them) and my Industrial Wax Melter, so if you have a need, please let me know! I'm happy to make a few for the folks who love our candles as much as we do! This page will be shutting down as soon as I can figure out how to do it, so please reach out to me on Messenger from my personal page (Amy Harmon Kowalski) or if you have my number, call or shoot me a text with your request. Thank you all for your support over the past few years! I enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you! Cheers!

Take a moment and reflect on all of the freedoms we take for granted every day. Freedom to talk passionately about things we believe in, the freedom to practice our chosen religion, the freedom to vote on matters that keep our Country the last bastion of Independence… there is no where else I’d rather live my life than the United States. I thank my Brother and Nephew in the Marines, my Neice and Husband in the Navy and another Neice in the Air Force. I appreciate your service and the offering you gave when you signed on the dotted line.
