Nature's Flame Candles
Our Story
Wondering WHO & WHERE we are? perhaps
even WHY?
To introduce myself, my name is Bethany, founder of Nature's Flame...which
started as a candle passion in 1992 & became Nature's Flame Candle Shoppe
during 1993. About that time I bought a '69 Chevy loaded with a fully
equipped kitchen - which turned into the traveling Candle Shoppe. With this
I was able to craft while meeting fellow candle gazers throughout New
England. After settling on a candle style & crafting method (developed in
our kitchen) then came studying the appropriate oils to add for delicate and
meaningful aroma blends just right for our Nature's Flame Candles. The
original Aromas we offered (and still do) were brought about with a local
herbalist and good friends. With a passion for the pen scrolls were soon
written to accompany each candle thus allowing the holder to understand the
natural gifts held within. The same scrolls are used today, with our candle
classics, although they have been slightly updated over the years :)
We have since grown to a comfortable size where our unique candles & such
are still a pleasure for us to craft & our faithful customers to enjoy. Our
goal is to bring the natural wonders found along a New England path to the
rooms within your home while bringing the healthful gifts of the HoneyBee to
an appreciated life. When viewing our classic candles, the Column & Mini,
you will get a glimpse of the wild flowers found within our mountains and
the refuge of the individual spirit in a mass produced world.
We have been busy as can bee stocking the shelves with our Beeswax Candles,
Primitives & Body Needs for the holiday season.
Visit the Candle Shoppe to view
our offerings, you will find plenty of Nature's Flame Originals as well as
Generations Old, Family Tried & Trues!

DID YOU KNOW? The honeybee flies over 150,000 miles, stops at 33,000
blossoms to collect enough nectar to make 60 pounds of honey, which yields 1
pound of beeswax.
Burning a beeswax candle before bedtime has been proven to help you sleep
deeper.
With time, Beeswax Candles may appear to be covered with a white powder,
called bloom, creating a frosty appearance.
Bloom is a natural sign of purity in Beeswax & has no effect on the way a
candle burns.
Our goal is to bring a little of the outdoors into your everyday life. Each
item we offer is hand crafted, no 2 will be exactly identical using natural
ingredients & traditional methods as we do.
Nature’s Flame Candles are the choice for those with congestion or headaches
from synthetic candles. Be kind to yourself- burn candles that are Pure,
Clean & Natural.

Why BeesWax?
Nature's Flame Candles offers a healthy candle
burning experience.
How can we say that? We use 100% Pure Beeswax,
Essential Oils & Natural, most often Native, Flora. Beeswax burns completely
clean - non-toxic and non-allergenic. Nature's Flame Candles contain no
paraffin, benzene, acrolyn, lead, stearic acid, or any other chemicals.
Simply 100% pure, New England beeswax, natural essential oils, flowers & our
imagination. Beeswax has a considerably higher melting point than paraffin.
Because it takes longer to melt, it therefore burns much slower. This is how
we are able to claim such incredible burn times for our candles. As a
result, beeswax burns very efficiently and thus costs pennies an hour to
burn, making it economical as well.Beeswax is the only fuel known to science
that releases a negative ion as it burns. Negative ions are proven to
eliminate dust, pollen, mould, smoke, food odor and pet dander, as well as
airborne germs and bacteria. These ions are nature's way of cleaning up
man's pollution. They are a fundamental aspect of our planet's survival and
are found in high concentrations in several ecological areas like mountain
regions, seashores, waterfalls, and oceans. Electrical storms and rainfall
also release a tremendous amount of negative ions. They help alleviate
asthma and allergies and invigorate the most basic cells of the human body.
Beeswax also promotes healthier and less fitful sleep and dream patterns.
Unlike paraffin's 'burn off', beeswax reacts more like water and evaporates
by the heat of the flame. This is one of the reasons why beeswax doesn't
smoke. This is also why we recommend that you maintain the wick at 1/4 inch
(the higher the flame, the hotter the flame, the faster the evaporation). We
utilize an all natural plant fiber wick in our candles. This is consistent
with the purity and perfection of our wax. Our wick is better able to
withstand the high melting point of beeswax, thereby allowing one to safely
use the entire candle - right down to the base. Click Here to find out

'The life of Man is said to be like a candle - the candle itself the mortal
form, the un-melted wax undeveloped potential,
and its flame the spirit -
for candles are not only light, but living fire.' -Author
