by the Hearth is a Mother and Daughter team, making candles of the highest quality.

We're not some large corporation in a big city. We're a small town mother and daughter team, who hand craft candles of the highest quality. Each candle is a one of a kind, unique creation. Years of experience in candle making have culminated in the development of the perfect blend, creating candles that are long lasting, super fragrant, clean burning, and scented all the way through. These candles are created by our hearth, and we want to share them with you. We are always coming up with new designs! Nothing is more important to us than having you as a part of our candle family, and we will always do all that we can to see that you are happy and satisfied with us. Check back with us often to see our newest creations!

It started with a problem...

Kim Baker was attempting to find a candle that would fit a family antique candle holder. Finding no such candle, despite looking high and low, she decided to make one herself. This started the years long journey of discovering what worked for making great candles, and what didn't. Over time, she developed the right blend, and soon ventured into the more creative side of candle making, creating candles that not only fill a room with wonderful scent, but are just as pleasing to the eye. Now, together with her daughter, Jennifer Spano, they are sharing their love of candle making and creativity with all of you.
