Little Batch Wax Co. was recently featured in Franklin: A Place to Grow. I’m sharing a little more of the story behind the feature, from our first candle poured at home to one year in the Pukekohe warehouse.

One year ago today, I opened the doors to the warehouse for the very first time.

Since then, it’s become more than just a place to pour candles. It’s where Candle Club boxes are packed, workshops take place, wholesale orders are fulfilled, ideas are tested and people come in for a catchup.

Still small batch & slow made — just with a little more breathing room to bring new ideas to life.

✨ Watch our “Warehouse” highlight reel to see the before / after. ✨

Thank you to everyone who has walked through the doors, ordered online, joined Candle Club, come to a workshop, stocked our collection, shared a post or just cheered me on when I was second guessing myself.

Excited for what’s to come 🤎

Market maxxing 🧺

Some of my favourite snaps from today’s market…

1. Shelves stocked + ready before opening.
2. Natalie making sure all market pups get the attention they deserve.
3. A baby goat (kid), because there’s always something unexpected happening at these markets. 🥹
4. A look at the stall once the candles were lit and everything was underway.
5. And a @grownupdonutsnz midday snack for Natalie + I, obviously.

Big thank you to everyone who came by, said hi, picked up their Candle Club boxes or took a candle home with them. I always love getting to see you in person.

See you next month — October 11, 9-2pm 🕯️

QOTD: Be honest… what’s your real reason for coming to the markets? ⤵️

Candles? Coffee? Baby goats?

September so far ✨

1. A beautiful custom candle blended by @theplantparlournz 🌱
2. Such a lovely evening candle-making with @thegardenakl. A beautiful group, lots of good food & conversation, and a really special night around the table.
3. A test-burn day at the studio 🔥
4. Marie keeping things moving behind the scenes — make sure you say hi when you’re next in the shop!
5. September Field Guides printed, packed and ready for boxing.
6. A reminder that sometimes the best evening plan is a bath, a book + a candle.
7. A lovely little feature in @findyourfranklin magazine.
8. A really good morning around the table with the @empowerhernetworking ladies — talking business, ideas + what we’re all working on this month.
9. And celebrating one whole year in the warehouse this week! 🥹

September has already felt full in the best way — lots of pouring, lots happening behind the scenes and plenty of slow moments in between.

Thank you for keeping us busy! And for one full year in the warehouse.

Tell me, how’s your September so far? ⤵

Spotted: the cozy gift from last month’s Candle Club collection, still being enjoyed weeks later ✨

I love seeing how each element of the box makes its way into everyday life — on the table, lit while dinner’s cooking.

Candle Club members — how have you been using your beeswax tapers? 🕯️
