Meet the Maker!

Nickie Crow is the passionate founder, creator, and chief candle maker behind The French Market Candle Company. 

Her candle-making journey began in 2010 when the handmade candle business she relied on for her favorite candles closed its doors. Faced with a wave of panic at the idea of losing these beloved candles, Nickie turned that fear into inspiration, embarking on a path that would allow her to share the joy and comfort that candles bring.

For Nickie, candles are more than just products; they are an experience meant to evoke feelings of calm, peace, and happiness. Her mission is clear: to enhance moods, lift spirits, and create a sense of warmth that transforms any house into a home. 

Each candle is crafted with care and intention, focusing on creating scents that fill multiple rooms and resonate with the emotions tied to those fragrances.

Fast forward to today, and Nickie's dedication to bringing joy to others shines through in every candle she creates. With each hand-poured candle, lovingly labeled and packaged, she pours her heart into ensuring that they arrive with a blessing — all with the aim of enhancing your living space with their luxurious glow and delightful fragrances.

In 2020, as Nickie celebrated a decade in the candle-making business, she also faced a personal challenge: a diagnosis of breast cancer. Through multiple surgeries and chemotherapy, she found strength in the love and support of her community. It was this outpouring of care that filled her with overwhelming gratitude and inspired her to continue her work, reminding her of the profound connections forged through her candles.

Nickie remains deeply grateful for the support from her "candle friends and family," and she invites others to stay connected through the Market Newsletter for special offers and updates. Her heartfelt message captures her ethos: "From my heart to your home," ensuring that each candle she creates serves as a beacon of joy and comfort to its recipient.

Join Nickie on her journey to spread light and joy, one candle at a time! 💕
