Hey there! Guess what I’ve got my hands on? A little piece of the 1960’s, all wrapped up in a candle!❤️This isn’t just any candle, it’s cradled in a milk glass compote from the iconic Westmoreland Glass Company. Their milk glass pieces are like holding a bit of history, especially with the charming Old Quilt pattern. This piece has beautiful hand-painted ‘Forget Me Knot’ flowers.

You know I’m all about bringing the past back to life in the most stylish way, and this candle is just that. It’s not just about its soothing glow; it’s a celebration of an era that mastered the art of beauty in simplicity. It’s kind of like having a timeless piece of art that lights up!

If you’re as smitten with this as I am and want to snag one for your home, just drop a comment below. 👇 I’ll send you a link – trust me, you don’t want to miss out on this. Let’s light up our homes with stories, not just candles. 💕

For my vintage lovers, here's a fun fact.✨ Jeanette's most popular milk glass with collectors is the company's Shell Pink line. Jeannette Glass Company only manufactured the delicate color for two years in the late 1950's. Other manufacturers also produced a version but Jeannette's is the one that comes to mind most often with collectors. There are many patterns in the pale pink collection but I think this stunning candy dish is my favorite.💓

Where Soy Candles Meet Vintage & Elegance

I am the owner and creator of RetroWix which is a small independent online vintage candle shop. It originated from my road trips with my husband across the country— collecting carefully picked vintage glassware and housewares for our home for over 25 years. We absolutely love candles so combining vintage glassware with soy candles was a natural progression and breathed new life and purpose into each nostalgic piece.

Bringing new life to these timeless treasures is done in small batches in my studio with hand-poured 100% natural soy wax from US grown soybeans. Along with repurposing glassware and thrifted items, our product reduces negative impact on the environment.

With interesting stories and lives of their own, the pieces I curate all have something uniquely beautiful about them. Most of my customers have emotional connections to the pieces due to their nostalgic charm and is ideal as a gift or for the candle enthusiast who also loves vintage decor.

Thank you for making the conscious decision to support a small business, run by just me, and lessen the environmental impact by choosing to shop vintage.
