North Ave Candles

North Ave Candles is a Pittsburgh-based candle studio that specializes in book themed candles I specialize in clever candles for literature lovers.

What started as a way to give personalized, homemade Christmas presents quickly turned into a hobby and then a full time business shortly after the birth of my daughter. Each candle is handcrafted by a life-long candle lover (that would be me) in my home studio in Pittsburgh. I personally create each candle using old fashioned methods and premium ingredients, taking care that everything produced has an eco-friendly focus. Only the best fragrance oils and all-natural waxes and wicks are used. Then, they are poured in small batches and meticulously tested to ensure that each candle is fragrant and clean burning.

It might be 80 degrees out, but September will always be autumn in my heart.
Respect to those who enjoy and embrace those last weeks of summer, but it’s pumpkin candle time in my home.

Please enjoy these memes and, if you’re an early autumner like me, please enjoy these candles

This candle is our scent tribute to the brave and daring Madeline.

Bright notes of orange and almond blend with warm vanilla, oat, and baked sugar for a cozy, gourmand fragrance.

The candle is topped off with an Eiffel Tower charm - a tiny tribute to childhood wonder and Parisian charm

I have a scant few Odyssey candles left.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Unless I get cheeky and bring them back every ten years as a decennial seasonal.

Every August we take a peek into the Archived and bring back a former Candle of the Month.
By popular request, this year’s August Archive selection is House of Leaves.

This hauntingly alluring fragrance combines the scents of fir, redwood, cedar, spruce, hemlock, verdant moss, leafy greenery, dewy grass, salt water and the rich aroma of damp earth.

The candle is topped with a compass charm, though it may not be much help once you’re inside.

August’s Candle Duo pairs it with our Shirley Jackson candle for a lil something we’re calling “House Party” 😉
