About Good Neighbors Candle Company

Becky shares how Good Neighbors Candle Co. began:

"My next door neighbor, at the time, had recently retired. Her name is Beverly and she is a very energetic and enthusiastic lady. I used to visit her and observed that she enjoyed making candles.

Before long Beverly was talking of getting a part time job. I suggested that she might want to begin to sell her candles instead. I, being a financial analyst, was confident that I could keep her books and advise her in the business end of things.

However... it took us just a matter of days to realize that I would be joining in the creative process.

It was just too much fun!

That was in 2005!

We focused our efforts on learning about Soy Wax and Penreco Gel. The first year was a lot of trial and error. We learned so much. In truth, I don't think the learning ever ends. There are new techniques and new products available all of the time. But, we now have our core candles which we have made over and over again. These are the ones you will find on our Product Page. Over the years we have made quite a variety but these are the best sellers and ones we get consistent reorders for.

In 2005 soy candles were just finding their way into Lancaster County. It was fun to educate customers at the many craft shows we participated in. Better yet, were the years to follow as customers would return to get more. They had only good things to say about how clean these candles burned. Now that we are five years down the proverbial road, Soy candles have earned their place in the line-up on many store shelves and have come to be most desired. It is cool to think we had a very small part to play in that.

We have spent our time at craft shows, placing our candles in retail outlets and hosting open houses. All of these were fun for a time. However, nothing gives the satisfaction of helping others make much needed money for a mission trip or other worthy goal. The primary focus of Good Neighbors Candles at this point is the Fundraiser and Direct Retail Sales to those who discover us by way of the Internet.

I will do just a few craft shows during the Holiday Season but I no longer offer these candles to traditional retail stores.

It is my goal to provide each and every customer with a fresh candle every time.

No shelf time.

It just can't get any better than that!

Beverly has since moved into a

retirement community and has become

very involved in things there.

I am now on my own with Good Neighbors Candles.

While I miss her, I am very happy for her.
I hope that you will come to love

our candles as much as we do!"

Take a look at some of the candles offered in Becky's shop.

This candle makes me think of Spring with it's cheerful color and citrus scent...

I just love how this little tea cup glows softly with a tea light inside...

Petite Teacup and Saucer with Soy Tea lights

My sister would like this one. It's her favorite color! 

8oz French Lavender Soy Candle in "Sunburst" jar with daisy cut lid.

I've enjoyed Good Neighbors Candles in my own home and gave some as Christmas gifts this past year. The candles arrive very well packaged and every one really liked them.

Some benefits of soy candles is they burn longer than petroleum-based candles, have an incredible scent throw with virtually no black soot.

From Satisfied Customers...

"Hi Becky, MY CANDLES ARE HERE AND I LOVE THEM! What a wonderful bunch of sweet smelling candles! I ordered a couple for myself but the rest are gifts:) Hugs!"

You've spoiled me for lesser things, girl;-}"

PJ said....
"I have got nothing but RAVE reviews from the neighbors who received your candles for Christmas, and I am still enjoying the extras I received with my order. I've been hoarding them so as not to use them all at once."

From Vee....
"I love the smell of my new pumpkin pie candle...it's amazing!"

Sally of The Smiling Sally Blog:
"I just got my order, and I am so impressed with the care you took in packaging. Everything arrived in perfect condition and smelling oh so good! What a nice bargain.
