Our story

 

A big big welcome to Waffle & Peg, thank you so much for visiting our site.

Waffle & Peg was born back in 2018 with my first collection of soy wax candles. After feeling really burnt out at work I had ventured back to college one day a week to study for a diploma in complementary therapy. It was during the aromatherapy module that I became a big(ger) fan of all things scented. I was so interested in olfactory memory and have always found certain scents will just transport me right back to a place or time. Once I finished my course I wanted to find a creative way to relax so I started to make candles in my kitchen, first with a kit and then using soy wax and quality fragrance oils. I loved experimenting and started to sell these candles to family, friends, colleagues and local candle fans! Fast forward 6 years (one big relocation, one pandemic, one dream of my own candle business) and Waffle & Peg lives on! The name comes from our lovely dog Waffle who used to just stare and wag as I was pouring my candles (probably hoping they were something edible) and my hubbys nickname for me. Quite a lot has changed about my range of candles - logo, wax, containers...but my love for all things beautifully scented remains. I would love one of our candles to become someones new scent memory. All our products are hand poured in small batches in my lovely candle studio. Please enjoy a browse and feel free to get in touch with any questions (or just to say hello!) 

Love Beth (and Waffle) x
