Hi! Thank you for visiting!
I was born in Connecticut and raised in Wisconsin - making me a cheddarhead and Packers fan! I went to college at the University of Wisconsin and earned my teaching degree. Right after I graduated I moved to Maine and got my first teaching job in Western Maine. I taught there for ten years then headed to the coast and now I am teaching in Topsham. I am currently in my 36th year of teaching middle school math!
I started making candles as a little girl. My dad taught me! He would melt the wax and set up the moulds and I got to add the color and scent. When I was older, I was able to pour the wax into the moulds with my father's guidance. And eventually I was able to make the candles by myself. I made candles my whole life lugging the materials with me from one place to the next. I would make candles and give them as gifts to my friends or donate them to a charitable cause.
In 2019 my long-time interest in candle-making resulted in me creating my candle business CanLit. I pride myself on making each candle by hand with high quality materials to provide the best possible experience for you - my customer!
Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my candle-making passion!
