Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh coffee in the morning? Rising Sun Candles and Wax Melts owner Stacey Muise simulates a mourning cuppa with her specialty candles, but adds her own twist to it, adding coffee bean inserts. - ContributedEditor’s note: The “Makers” feature is a weekly look at Atlantic Canadian entrepreneurs who are tapping into the creative marketplace.
“I’ll be honest, candle making isn’t as cut and dry as I thought it was, but the challenge made me fall in love with it even more,” says Muise. More than once, she says she has picked a fragrance oil and figured out how she was going to bring her own creative twist to it after the fact. The best part of the process is that fragrances can be safely blended, so she can make her own scents, which make her stand out from the competition even more, she says.
The most popular item that Muise sells are her blueberry waffle wax melts. They are so popular, she explains, because she uses a waffle silicone mold to make the melts and has perfected the technique of adding blue flecks of dye to really drive home the blueberry look. “It’s absolutely bananas to think that my brand has touched down on an entirely different continent. It definitely opens my mind to the possibilities of the future,” she says.Running a small business in rural Nova Scotia definitely has upsides and downsides, says Muise.
“My products do as well as they do because of the word of mouth and I make that well known within my customer base,” says Muise.
