The Makers Flame : Create your own story

Some memories aren’t meant for the shelf. They’re meant to be held, lit, and carried forward. The Maker’s Flame gives you the space to build a story of your own—something rooted in a person, a place, or a moment you’re not willing to leave behind.


  Choose the notes that feel true. Choose the words that deserve to live in wax. We shape the candle; you shape the meaning. When the flame rises, it doesn’t just illuminate the room. It illuminates everything the memory still has left to give

WHAT WE CAN CUSTOMIZE

With our custom orders, we create original lore-inspired stories and scent blends rooted in any place you choose.


  • Location-based lore
    Original short stories inspired by any location: lakes, towns, backroads, heritage buildings, family homes, cabins, vineyards, and more.


  • Personal dedications
    Memorial candles, wedding or anniversary candles, “first home” candles, family reunion keepsakes, and meaningful gifts tied to your story.


  • Scent profiles
    Curated fragrance blends to suit your story: think foggy mornings, orchard dusk, coastal air, cedar smoke, winter windows, or vineyard evenings.


  • Labels & story cards
    Design aligned with the Barrel & Bloom aesthetic, featuring your place name, candle title, and custom lore piece. Optional notes for dates, names, or special lines of text



How it works:

  1. You tell us about the place, occasion, and people.
  2. We write a custom lore story and design your candle concept.
  3. You approve the story and mockup.
  4. We pour, label, and package your custom lore candles, ready to gift or keep.


Bring us a place, and we’ll give you a flame that remembers it.
