Welcome to Mysa Homeware, formerly known as Lavender and Lilac Candle Co.

When I left high school, I had the joyful job of deciding what further education course I was going to take that ultimately, would be what i would do for the rest of my life! I was never the best at exams so this was a struggle for me.

My 16 year old self hadn't a clue what i wanted to spend my career doing so chose the path of business studies, this allowed me to achieve a qualification that would give me a few years to decide and a lot of pathways to go down at the end of the course.

Little did I know, this course actually would be my future...

Let me explain. Fast forward to my third year, I was ready to leave college and enter the full time job world, still no clue on my future. However, for a final project, i was asked to create a product, research the market, build a website & sell this product in person.

Me being me, always the one with thousands of candles in her room decided what's better than to make a candle!

So I did! And i loved the whole process, i felt a true sense of excitement and passion in creating and making candles and all the business side of things to.

I actually ended up doing really well. I was awarded 3 certificates for my mini college candle business and left with a distinction in business & marketing!! Who knew!!

But then college finished and life got in the way. I found myself in a receptionist job working such long, random hours but always knew I had hopes for more.

My creative side was screaming at me and so I started making candles again. It wasn't until i started this process did I understand what was really going into mass produced, shop bought candles.

So the fire started and the passion was buzzing and I knew, I just knew I had to give this a go. What did I have to lose?

Fast forward to now, 2024, I wake up everyday excited to go to work. To make candles, to pack orders, to meet customers, to engage with my community and build Mysa Homeware.

I now understand the ingredients that go into mass produced candles and instead of following in their footsteps, I make handmade candles in small batches with the finest fragrance oils, natural waxes, cotton wicks & so much more.

But here at Mysa, we're not just about creating the perfect candles, it's about how you feel when you go to light these candles.

Candles are for feelings. They're for reminiscing on your favourite memory, setting the scene to host guests, relaxing after a long day with a film and getting cosy on the sofa.

So not only am I dedicated to creating candles that are the best of the best, but also providing you with the essentials for any occasion.

Thank you so much for reading my story. I'm so happy to have you here.

With love,

Hannah, Founder of Mysa Homeware x
