Wondering if natural scented soy candles are the best? …or if soy wax candles are better for your health and the health of your family? Let’s have a look at your options…
There are 5 main types of waxes used for candle making… Soy Wax, Coconut Wax, Beeswax, Palm Wax and Paraffin Wax. Each wax has its advantages and disadvantages. The most commonly sold candles today are made from Soy Wax or Paraffin Wax.Read More
When we first started making natural scented soy wax candles we wanted to try and re use old antique jars to reduce the carbon footprint of Lemon Canary. But where could beautiful old vintage jars be found? Jars that people would embrace.
By the biggest stroke of luck or fate, whatever you may call it, we came across a gorgeous old Fowlers preserving jar at our local St.Vinnies. “Do you have any more of these”, yelling out in delight, startling the poor lady sorting through a bag of donations. She went on to tell us that the jars were something of an Australian icon.Read More
Beautiful soy wax candles and beeswax candles enhance the places we live and celebrate in. They bring an ambiance only they can. For you to enjoy the very best of what your new candle has to offer we’ve got some tips for you.
And if you’re looking down this page thinking… “I don’t have time to read all of that info”… then perhaps come back later and at the very least be sure to read the instructions on the base of your candle before you use it. Let’s get started…
Q: Do you leave the crystals, dried flowers and embellishments in your candle while burning? The rose buds in particular seem like they could be a fire hazard. Let me know, thanks!
A: Thanks for your wonderful question. Yes, our candles with crystals, botanicals and embellishments are designed in a way so you can leave them all in the vessel when burning. We have been asked before about whether our rose buds and other botanicals could be a fire hazard. Over the many years we have been making these products we have not had an issue. We keep a safe distance from the wicks so when the wax pool reaches the botanicals they tend to sink coating them in wax and making them safe. Any candle with an open flame can be a hazard so following good candle care guidelines is always a must.
Our instruction card for candles with crystals and/or botanicals says, “We are so blessed to make this candle for you. It’s truly beautiful and is one of a kind. This crystal candle has been lovingly and carefully handmade in our bespoke studio with botanicals, crystals or embellishments (or perhaps a little of each). You can light this candle with the crystals, botanicals and embellishments inside of it. Each candle will burn differently as the botanicals and crystals move around. Please do not leave any candle unattended. If required, blow the candle out and move the botanicals away from the flame. Keep your wicks nice and trimmed (about 5mm long) for the best burn. Allow the wax to melt to the edge of the vessel with every burn. Towards the end of your candle, you can fish out the crystals and rinse them in warm soapy water if you want to keep them. When finished, clean your bowl or vessel and have it refilled or repurpose it for something else. To remove the wicks, add a tiny amount of boiling water and carefully take them out. We hope that this crystal candle is a blessing to you”.
I have been inspired recently to let our beautiful customers know more about our handmade soy candles. We say our candles are made to be the best choice possible, but why? A good starting point on this journey is to answer a question we are asked almost every day, “Are Lemon Canary candles ‘triple scented’?” It sounds like a simple question… but it’s not that easy for me to answer… here goes… I could say they are triple scented but I won’t. Let me explain…Read More
The Lemon Canary Hummingbird candle (Italian Lemon & Shortbread) is the best smelling candle I’ve ever purchased. I collect candles and have over 40 of them, but this one is my absolute favourite.
If you want quality for yourself or as gifts for family, Lemon Canary has elegance and beauty with every product. You can tell every product has been made with love, absolutely beautiful! Was really impressed with packaging and delivery too.
My first experience with Lemon Canary came as a beautiful gift from my daughter, I’m now a customer myself. I love the products and they are packaged so beautifully. It’s a happy day when my Lemon Canary delivery arrives
supporting businesses that are not only Australia, but of fantastic genuine quality is important to us. I really enjoy gifting these unique scents and everyone i gift them to loves them
so happy I found this little "cottage craft" shop in WA their products are so wonderful and high quality, candles of such beauty with awesome blends of healing essential oils, really fast shipping, super helpful & knowledgable staff such a positive shopping experience then using the best healing calming uplifting products just makes life richer.
I have been buying Lemon Canary candles for years and they are my absolutely favourite. The scents are beautiful, I love Little Owl and the Christmas Advent scents. Always have the travel tins at hand for gifts, always a hit. Worth every cent.
Hummingbird candle is to die for like a buttery lemon shortbread that makes the house smell like an Italian bakery, the second best thing is the vintage jar that you’ll actually reuse ♻️ 💕
Mike, Denise, and the Canaries are fantastic! Every order we've received has been perfect, and the occasional note of gratitude really makes the experience that much better. The range of fabulous scents, has myself and the team here in love. We use the candles as a delightful addition to some of our packages, but truth be told, we can't resist keeping one for our own staff room. Thank you from the team!
Products smell DIVINE, without being overpowering. Everyone that comes over comments on how nice our house smells. Their customer service is also second to none. Highly recommend buying from Lemon Canary ❤️
Could not recommend a small business more to purchase special personalised candles from. Their attention to detail is incredible, service is second to none and you can see the true love and passion put into the business. Thank you again for my beautiful candle.
Dear Lemon Canary,You have honestly made my day! What absolute quality and beauty. I came home from work to find my stunningly, beautiful packaged order. The attention to detail is of such a high standard. I can’t stop looking and reading about my candles. The smell is divine and the fact that these candles are sustainable and organic, holds even more meaning! I had purchased one for a friend and she was so touched. It will be the first of many orders for me! I won’t buy candles from anyone but you in future! Thank you for what you do! Amazing!!!!!Thank you to Jodie who packaged my candles. XxxxSara xA devoted customer!
Was gifted a candle making kit from Lemon Canary. It came with beautiful organic essential oil blends that were just divine! The candles turned out amazing and I even got detailed advice and direction from Lemon Canary in how to make them. Beautiful luxury candle shop. Love that there is a nice variety of candles as well as the option of organic essential oil candles at a great price. Thankyou!
Absolutely love and adore Lemon Canary's creations. The candles carry so much beautiful energy and intention and you can feel the love flowing through the products. The crystals and botanicals adorning the intentional bowls are just heaven and are perfect to use for any ritual (I love using mine for New Moon intention setting). I'm in love. Thank you so much Chris and the team for creating so much magic to share with us all.
I attended the candle making workshop this Saturday just gone. Wow wow wow, Chris and Aimee are amazing, so lovely, so informative and just an all round fantastic workshop. I learnt so so much and I can't wait to continue my candle making journey. I plan on attending every workshop! Thank you so much 10/10 from me, Jill ❤️😊
