I create each blend with a moment in mind. The kind you want to hold onto — a vacation you didn’t want to end, your favorite café on a slow morning, a market day that felt magical, or just a quiet night at home when comfort is enough. My hope is that every candle becomes part of someone’s favorite memory… or the start of a new one.

Hi, I'm Sarah.

Hi! I'm Sarah, a 27-year-old candle maker with a passion for creativity, adventure, and connection. I've been crafting candles for five years, pouring love and care into every handmade piece. My business, Briarwood Candles, is all about creating non-toxic, pet-safe, and beautifully scented experiences.

About Briarwood Candles

Briarwood Candles began as a small passion project, with handwritten labels and a table at local farmers markets.

Over the years, Briarwood Candles has evolved from humble beginnings to a fully professional brand, now featured at large-scale events and in collaborations with incredible businesses and community partners. I’ve had the privilege of working with companies like Angry Orchard Hard Cider, Stamford Florist, Hey Stamford, and The Holiday Wish Express. One of my proudest milestones has been participating in the Connecticut Renaissance Faire—my biggest event to date!

At its core (pun intended) Briarwood Candles is about more than just candles. It’s about creating warmth, nostalgia, and connection through scent. Whether it’s a cozy evening at home or a unique gift for someone special, every candle is made with intention and care.
