About Oak Lane Candle Co.

Oak Lane Candle Co. is a candle and gift shop located in the heart of Ames, Iowa. We use all-natural soy wax, phthalate-free fragrances and a lead-free, cotton wick so you can be sure your burn is clean and natural for you and your home. Soy wax burns cleaner and longer than regular candles and is produced by American farmers. We use phthalate-free fragrance in all of our candles and a lead-free wick. In 2014, Stacy and her husband started an adoption process of (what would be) adopting their son and daughter from Uganda. After spending a year of saving, doing different fundraisers, and countless grants, there was still money left to raise. Stacy felt a soft nudge from the Lord to try something that had been on her mind through all of this—candle pouring. After much research and testing, she had landed on a product she felt confident in. After uploading four scents to her Etsy page, she was overwhelmed with how quickly she was met with orders. Pouring these candles helped Adam and Stacy raise the money to finish their adoption process and in March of 2017, they brought home their son and daughter. They continue to do adoption fundraisers and give back to ministries in Uganda. Read their story
