Things 4 Good 2024 Candle Fundraiser!
Please join us for the 4th Annual Things 4 Good Candle Fundraiser on November 2nd and 3rd!
We have the melter going, pour pots pouring, and candles curing, and hope you will join us in raising more funds for great non-profit organizations!
These 12 oz candles are all hand-made by our family using the highest quality soy wax and signature wooden wicks that give that delightful crackle while they burn. They make great gifts for the holidays! 🎁
New this year — the Things 4 Good Candle Fundraiser will be in two parts!
Day one will be Saturday, November 2nd from 9am to 2pm at the Mt. Olivet Holiday Boutique. This will be a great opportunity to get these candles as well as other wonderfully curated items.
Day two will be Sunday, November 3rd (the next day!) from 12pm to 4pm at our home.

If you have any more questions about the Things 4 Good fundraiser hopefully they are answered in the section below. If not, please reply and ask away. 👍
What is this candle sale you speak of?
In 2019 Jamie bought a wooden wick candle at a local Christmas market. He fell in love with the crackle sound and candles in general and decided to start making his own. He made a few, then a few more, then a few more. He gave some for gifts and several people asked if they could buy the candles to give to others. Being that Jamie is gainfully employed and isn't exactly lacking with things to do in his life, it was decided that Jamie should not start making candles on demand. Instead, we came up with the idea of a once a year sale, where all proceeds are donated to charity.
What happens to the money you raise?
During the sale we keep a careful tally of all purchases. You can allocate the donation amount of your purchase between the four non-profits selected by each family member. At the end of the sale we add it up and send the funds. All of the costs of materials for the candles are covered by us. The full sale price of each candle goes to the non-profits.
How much do candles cost?
Each candle is just a $25 donation! Same price it has been for the last 4 years.
Payment can be made in Cash, Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle.
Can I preorder candles?
Yes you can. If you would like to have us set aside candles for you to pickup at the sale we are happy to do that for any order of six or more candles. Send Jamie an email (or reply to this one) and let us know how many candles and which scents you would like us to have ready. Please plan to pickup pre-orders on Sunday!
What scents will you have?
The 2024 scents are: Winter Wonderland, Tea Time, Apple of My Eye, Oh My Darling, True North, Pumpkin Pie, Old Fashioned, and Just Crackle (unscented).
So you make the candles?
Yes, we make the candles. It’s not rocket science, but we like to pretend that it is. 😄 We hand pour each beauty. We all collectively acquire the materials, manage the production, mix and pour candles, and set the wicks. We wait for them to cure and then the labels, all custom designed by us as well with Mazie's artistic side highlighted on each candle.
