The Gilded Collection Launch
Courtney Jones
I grew up in a small rural town in west Michigan filled with golden fields, green meadows and hidden forests. I would spend hours outside, dreaming a life filled with story and adventure, being the queen of my own backyard kingdom.
Now that i’m an adult, I find that my mind still wanders to these places- I still dream of this magic, and the memory of this brings so much comfort and joy to my heart. This is where my inspiration came from for our GILDED COLLECTION. These scents were mixed with these memories in mind- walking through golden wheat fields, climbing giant hills in the meadow, climbing trees and reaching for something far beyond my tiny perspective on life in reality. These candles are made to inspire- to connect and encourage dreaming, chasing magic, and bring out your inner queen.
Each candle features an image of a woman in her majesty, and is paired an encouraging poem that provides the scent with its own narrative- a story that connects people through courage.
I come from a family full of women; my mom had 3 sisters and I have 2. We all spur from a line of strong women who were not only inspirational, but also kind and full of enduring love. This past year my family said goodbye to my grandmother- a ever cheerful woman full of life, love, and never ending joy. Her memory now joins me in these magical spaces roaming the countryside of west Michigan, and they hold a kind of life that I had to share.
So today as we launch this new collection, we celebrate the magic of dreaming, imagination, and the power of women. We celebrate life, love, and the majesty of all queens everywhere.
