My fall candle collection is officially live!

This collection was inspired by everything I love about fall in the Pacific Northwest: cool foggy mornings, changing leaves, warm kitchens, evergreen forests, and those first evenings when you finally want to light a candle and get cozy.

This season’s scents include Pumpkin Buttercream, Fallen Leaves, Forest Chai, Fog & Fern, Amber Nights, and Chapter One, with a mix of warm and sweet, woodsy, earthy, and atmospheric fragrances.

Each candle is hand-poured in small batches here in Oregon using soy wax and phthalate-free fragrance. You’ll find select scents in our 11 oz three-wick ceramic vessels with bamboo lids, our 4 oz matte black tins, and Amber Nights in a sleek 10 oz black ceramic vessel with a bamboo lid.

They’re available now at upperleftdesigns.com, or come visit me at the Chachalu Marketplace this coming Friday from 10-4pm!

Which fall scent would you choose first: cozy and sweet, warm and woodsy, or fresh and earthy?

Do you need a last-minute gift? I've got you covered! Select local pickup or delivery, and let me know in the notes if you'd like it in a gift box. The box will be topped with a sprig of cedar, a dehydrated orange slice, and jute. It's timeless and looks great under any Christmas tree.
