The Alchemist's Tale

Hi there! I'm Nina 👋

If you were to go looking for me, you would likely find me somewhere between my digital canvas and a simmering cauldron of wax. I am a firm believer that I was meant to be a woodland fairy in another life.

My heart wasn’t always in the old ways. About a decade ago, my husband took me to my very first Renaissance festival, and it was like a dormant part of my soul finally woke up. He created a monster (the best kind!) and since then, our lives have been a whirlwind of cloaks, cosplay, and the clatter of dice during a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

I am a collector of oddities and forest finds, a nerd for the deep magic of a well told tale, and a mother to two little adventurers who keep my world vibrant. Whether we are stepping into character for a faire or getting lost in the high stakes of a favorite book, we believe that life is simply better when you are carrying a bit of mystery.

I started this journey because I wanted to capture those far off realms and bottle them. While my background in design gives me the tools to build the visual magic of this world, the soul comes from my obsession with nature and culture. Every candle is hand poured with a bit of alchemy and a lot of intention, designed to be the final piece of your own personal quest.

I believe every home deserves a touch of the extraordinary. I am so glad you have wandered into my shop to share in this bit of magic with me.
