It all started in March of 2012. I was successfully working in the retail industry for Michael Kors in the deep south but did not feel fulfilled with my work and needed a change. I decided to take a leap of faith and move to the quaint coastal town of Kittery Point, Maine. I wanted to venture out on my own as a small business owner, so I purchased a candle company, and the dream began. Formerly Bartram\u2019s Beeswax Candles, I renamed the company Seapoint Chandlers.<\/p>\n
I had never made a candle before purchasing the company and after many hours of training it became very natural to me, and I discovered how much I loved it. I have had many ventures in my life and have tried many different areas of work and this one just clicked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n My vision for Seapoint Chandlers was to be more than just offering pillar candles and tapers. I wanted to create original ideas for candles that were meaningful, aesthetically beautiful, and functional with a long-lasting burn time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I have always had a deep connection with water and have lived near some form of water everywhere I end up. I have also always had a love for rocks and when I visited the coast of Maine it was the perfect idea for me to make rock candles. I learned how to make candle molds and my collections began.<\/p>\n All my collections include original handmade pieces from nature, industrial, local and artists abroad that I then made into molds which became my candles and candle holders that I offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I use only natural ingredients made from nature using 100% beeswax, cotton wicks, natural dyes, and essential oils. Being close to nature is essential for healthy living and with my products you can experience that, and my hope is to bring happiness to your home, friends, and family.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/seapointchandlers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/p3h-NFfc-300×297.jpg” title_text=”p3h-NFfc” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/seapointchandlers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Compass_Rose.png” title_text=”Compass_Rose” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It all started in March of 2012.

Like magic we realized that we wanted to continue our journey through life together. At the time, I was living in the Lowcountry of South Carolina with a great career in the retail industry and preparing to settle down near family after being gone for so many years. As the saying goes, timing is everything! Julius and I decided that we must take the next step.\r\n\r\nI decided to take a visit to the quaint coastal town of Kittery Point, Maine, where Julius has made his home for many, many years. During that visit his mother told me about a candle company for sale. It seemed too good to be true and I wanted so badly to believe this could work. It wasn\u2019t until meeting the former beekeepers and creators of Bartram\u2019s Beeswax Candles that I knew this was the ideal fit for me at this momentous time in my life. In May of 2012, Bartram\u2019s Beeswax Candles was sold to me and the company became Seapoint Chandlers.\r\n\r\nThe name is inspired by Seapoint Beach, where Julius and I walk our beloved basset hound, Lola. Chandler was Julius\u2019s grandmother\u2019s maiden name which means candle maker. Immediately it clicked and the Maine candle dream was born. My artisan spirit ignited. And the rest, as they say, is history.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/6\" css=\".vc_custom_1513270008265{margin-top: 30px !important;}\"][vc_single_image image=\"2236\" img_size=\"medium\" alignment=\"center\" css_animation=\"none\"][vc_single_image image=\"4173\" img_size=\"medium\" alignment=\"center\" css_animation=\"none\" css=\".vc_custom_1513270186139{margin-top: 10px !important;}\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"\n
