About Us

Handcrafted with Heart and Western Soul

Welcome to J&S Candle & Trading Co., where every flame tells a story.

Founded by Jared and Star, a husband-and-wife team who turned a small spark of creativity into something truly special, our story began at the kitchen table. What started as a way for Star to find a creative outlet during recovery became a shared passion — blending art, warmth, and a love for the western lifestyle.

Each candle we create is hand-poured in small batches using clean soy wax, natural wicks, and fragrance oils inspired by life in the West — from pine forests and open plains to the comforting glow of a cabin hearth.

We’re growing beyond candles, too — expanding into handcrafted home décor, rustic resin tables, and DIY projects made with the same dedication and love that started it all.

At J&S Candle & Trading Co., we believe in the beauty of simple things — the glow of a candle, the scent of home, and the stories shared around them.

From our hands to your home — thank you for being part of our journey.

Mission Statement


At J&S Candle & Trading Co., our mission is to craft candles and rustic creations that bring warmth, comfort, and a touch of western spirit into every home. We believe in keeping things simple, genuine, and made by hand — blending timeless craftsmanship with scents inspired by nature and the frontier. Each candle we pour is more than fragrance — it’s a spark of heart, heritage, and home.

Value Statement

We value authenticity, quality, and connection.

  • Authenticity: Every candle and product we make reflects who we are — honest, hard-working, and rooted in tradition.
  • Craftsmanship: We pour care into every detail, creating products that last and tell a story.
  • Sustainability: We use clean, natural ingredients and eco-friendly materials whenever possible.
  • Community: We believe in supporting local makers, families, and the customers who believe in handmade.
  • Heart: At the center of all we do is love — for what we make, for the people who light our candles, and for the life we’re building together.
