Meet the Librarian

 

Thanks for stopping by!
I'm Andrea, real elementary school librarian who loves learning new things. Each candle is curated by me and paired with a book title. See if you can guess the connection!

Candle-making started as a COVID project. I was hesitant at first: wax, wicks, scents... it felt overwhelming. I planned to stick with wax melts and room sprays, but curiosity got the best of me. I read, experimented, and learned (mostly from social media creators learning alongside me). Eventually, I found what worked. I tested scents, gathered feedback, and observed how people shopped. Turns out, a lot of people know a librarian!

Now, here I am, sharing bookish scents with a twist. Some titles you’ll recognize, others might surprise you. There’s always more to learn. I’m constantly evolving, just like any good story.

Now, about the library stuff…

I prefer to read nonfiction, and my favorite picture books are packed with dry humor, suspense, sarcasm or surprise endings.

Here is a list of my favorite books:

The Rock from the Sky  &  The Skull by Jon Klassen ( really anything by Jon Klassen)

Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman
Are You a Horse? by Andy Rash
That Is Not a Good Idea! by Mo Willems
The Squeaky Door by Margaret MacDonald
The Perfectly Messed Up Story by Patrick McDonnell 

I am also a published author:
