About North Ave Candles

What started as a way to give personalized, homemade Christmas presents quickly turned into a passionate hobby and then a full time business shortly after the birth of my daughter. Our humble one-woman show has since evolved into a woman-owned + operated team-- and each candle is handcrafted by life-long candle lovers in our Pittsburgh studio. We create each candle using old fashioned methods and premium ingredients, taking care that everything produced has an eco-friendly focus. Only the finest fragrance oils and coconut soy waxes and wicks are used. Then they are hand-poured into small batches after meticulous testing to ensure that each candle is fragrant and clean burning. We specialize in clever candles for literature lovers!Read their story
