Inspiration

Candles were an important part of everyday life in the 18th century. Bayberry candles were among the most prized candles in colonial America because of their clear, more consistent light and pleasant scent. One of the first written accounts of bayberry candles was in 1698 and exclaimed that instead of "stinking," they "perfume like incense." A Virginian historian reported in 1705 that making bayberry candles was a very "modern discovery."
