If you’ve made it to our blog, you probably already know Prairie Soy Candles is run by a mother-daughter team, Kyla Huffaker and Kara Kelso. We’ve had a blast working together, attending craft shows and picking out new scents we think our customers would like (or have suggested!).

Since we’ve worked so well together for the last several years, I decided (this is Kara by the way!), why not start something just as fun with my own daughter? So Jillian and I have done just that. Better yet, we’ve created a product line we think goes absolutely perfect with the candles. And that product would be….handmade soaps!

Jillian, age 7, now works with mom making handpoured scented soaps. She’s helped in the design of her site, Soap by Jillian, and picked out all her mold and scents herself.  She has plans to add more molds and scents as the money comes in. Quite the little entrepreneur she is! I wonder where she gets it.

So if you happen to see us at a craft show, be sure to check out Jillian’s soap along with our candles. We have some plans to “match up scents” in the near future, and already have Pink Sugar in both soap and candles.

New section has been added to our online store - Unique Candles! These are one of a kind candles you won’t fine more than one or two in stock of. We use to put these up on Etsy, but decided it was just much easier to put them with our regular items. Plus a lot easy for you to purchase them right along with the jar candles and melts.

As always, we accept suggestion and comments!

A new scent has just been added to our regular line of scents - Mango Mandarin. If you are a fan of fruity scents, you’ll absolutely love this one.

This scent comes in all style and sizes at our online store.

Enjoy!
