Maker Spotlight: Heidi the Creative Genius Behind Excelsior Candle Company!


One of the firs things that people notice when walking into Vivian Rose Boutique is the heavenly scent. This is all thanks to the candles we are burning and selling from Excelsior Candle Company.

If you are not familiar with this company, then you should know that each candle is hand-crafted in small batches using only the highest quality ingredients, like natural essential oils. The soy used is renewable and biodegradable, and the wick is lead free and made of cotton. The candle jars and tins are recyclable and reusable. All of the pouring, labeling, packing and shipping is done right here in MN. They look and feel like a special treat, but the prices and burn time allow you to use them every day without feeling guilty. All in all, this company is SO AMAZING!!
