Three Fall Candles Return for Another Year🍂

Pumpkin Chai 🎃☕️
Cozy up to the rich, warm scent of our most popular fall candle. Warm Cardamom opens the fragrance, followed by creamy pumpkin and brown sugar. A spiced base of black pepper, vanilla, clove, cinnamon, cream, and praline creates the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth like a freshly brewed chai on a crisp fall day.

Fireside 🪵🔥
Settle into the warmth of a crackling fireside with this rich, smoky fall candle. Saffron opens the fragrance with a subtle warmth, followed by clove, incense, and sandalwood. A deep base of smoke, amber, and patchouli adds a moody, woodsy finish that feels like cool nights gathered around a fire.

Macintosh Apple 🍏🍂
A fresh take on a classic fall scent—crisp, lightly sweet, and cozy without being overly spiced. Green leaves and juicy pear open the fragrance with a bright, natural freshness, followed by the unmistakable scent of ripe apple. Vanilla and cedar round out the fragrance with a soft, warm finish.

Hey friends! I am helping organize a march to City Hall for the next city council meeting alongside some incredible folks I met at . Please consider joining us for either or both of these events & share this graphic to help us get the word out!

MAY 7 - POSTER & BUTTON MAKING: Drop by the .theory shop anytime between 5-7:30PM to help make signs & buttons or just offer some moral support!

MAY 11 - Join neighbors, families, advocates, and community leaders as we march in solidarity for change. We will gather at the Richmond Public Library (101 E Franklin St) and walk together to City Hall (0.7 mi), where a City Council meeting will be taking place at 6:00PM. Our presence is a call to action, urging local officials to prioritize pedestrian safety, traffic calming, and infrastructure that protects all who use our streets. If you can’t join for the march, consider meeting us at City Hall by 6pm!

Full info is on our Eventbrite page (linked in my bio) & please register if you plan to come so we know how many folks to expect.

Also if any fellow local businesses would like a flyer to display, let me know and I can bring some by this weekend! 💕

THANK YOU 🫶🏼
