A little look at the family behind Timber Oak Candles

A little look at the family behind Timber Oak

Hi, I’m Bailey — wife, mama, small business owner, and the person behind Timber Oak Candles LLC.

I’ve always had a love for anything that makes a home feel warm, welcoming, and inviting. Candles and wax melts have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and there’s just something special about the way a beautiful scent can instantly make a house feel a little more like home.

When I’m not in the candle barn, you can usually find me spending time with my husband and our sweet little one, or helping my family at the home décor store we own in my hometown. I’ve always loved creating beautiful spaces and surrounding myself with things that make people feel at home — and that love is a big part of what makes Timber Oak so special to me.

How It All Started

My journey into candle making began through my family’s home décor business.

When I was nineteen, my family opened a home décor storefront in our hometown. While I was in college, I helped my mom run the store, and through that business, our family became friends with Maddison, the original owner of Timber Oak Candles, and her family.

We fell in love with Timber Oak from the very beginning. We loved the products, the brand, and what it represented so much that we continued carrying the candles in our storefront.

Eventually, Maddison shared with us that she was considering selling the business. What started as a conversation about learning the craft quickly turned into something much bigger. My husband and I realized that this could be an incredible opportunity to bring Timber Oak into our family and build something of our own.

On December 15, 2023, we officially became the new owners of Timber Oak Candles LLC — and we have loved every moment of the journey since.

A Family Business, Made With Love

Timber Oak Candles was started with family at the heart of it.

What began as a way to create additional income for our family has grown into something that has become a true family affair. My husband helps whenever he can step away from his construction business, and together we get to experience the excitement, challenges, and rewards that come with building a small business.

Every candle that leaves our candle barn has been hand poured, cleaned, labeled, and carefully packaged by us.

We take great pride in knowing that the candles you bring into your home are made with care from our family to yours. We hand pour fresh candles every day, because we believe that quality and freshness are worth taking the extra time to get right.

That can sometimes mean a little extra time before your order makes its way to you, but we hope you’ll agree that a candle made with patience, care, and attention to detail is worth the wait.

More Than Just a Candle

To us, candles are about more than simply filling a room with a beautiful fragrance.

They’re about the little moments — lighting a candle at the end of a long day, making your home feel cozy before guests arrive, enjoying a quiet morning with a cup of coffee, or creating memories with the people you love.

Our hope is that when you light a Timber Oak candle, you feel a little bit of the warmth and love that went into making it.

Thank you for being here, for supporting our family business, and for allowing Timber Oak Candles to become a small part of your home.

I truly believe that the best part of owning a small business is the people we get to meet along the way. I would love to get to know you, too, so please never hesitate to reach out. Whether you have a question, want to share your favorite scent, or simply want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you!

With love,

Bailey
