Yes, Second Wind Candles now has an Instagram account! Follow us there for more recent news updates and even some peeks behind the curtain!

This isn't the only exciting changes coming to our digital footprint! In the near future you can expect various improvements to this website (which in our opinion have been a long time coming). Hope you're as excited as we are for 2026! See you in the new year!

With the end of our holiday events in December, our first full year in operation comes to a close. This has been such an amazing experience, and we've definitely learned quite a bit this year, also!

I want to thank all the organizers of all the shows we did this year. I want to thank everyone who stopped by our booth and admired our candles, asked about our business, or just wanted to chat. And I especially want to thank everyone who purchased one of our candles. It was you that made this year such a success!

This is just the start of our journey! We're already hard at work planning for next year. Going into the new year, you should start seeing the calendar become populated with all-new events, so be on the lookout!

One last big thank you for helping us make our first year such a success! Have a very merry Christmas, a very happy holidays, and a wonderous and joyous new year!

We want to thank everyone who braved the wind and cold at Jersey Makes on November 8th, as well as all our other fantastic events this fall. That you decided to come out, not to mention stop by and see us, means so much and we certainly hope we made it worth your while.

With the conclusion of Jersey Makes, we are off until December! Once the twelfth and final month of the year comes around, you can come see us again at a great lineup of holiday events to find that perfect gift. See you then!

This event in Westfield felt like a return to force for the fall season! Great music, great people, and a great overall event! Much thanks to the Westfield Chamber of Commerce for organizing the event and we will definitely see you again next year.

Make sure to have a look at our event calendar as we're just getting started for the latter half of the year. There are many great markets and fairs yet to come all the way through December!

Our most recent trek into Jersey City marks our last event for the summer. We will return in the fall, starting with a flurry of events in September all the way through the holiday season, so be sure to check out our schedule on the event calendar.

Enjoy your beaches and picnics and road trips and we'll see you soon!

Spending a Saturday peddling your wares on the picturesque lawn of a historic church in the middle of one of NJ's hottest downtown districts? Yes, please! We're grateful that the weather held out also, giving people the chance to come down and visit the market, and stay dry while doing so!

We'll be here two more times this year: once in June and again in September, so if you missed out, check the Event Calendar so you don't miss the next one!

Our adventures in the big city began with a bang! No beating sun or gusting winds could stop us from making it a great day at the Jersey City Handmade Market. So many fantastic people willing to come down and shop for unique, handmade goods.

If you missed us, or if you were one of the many asking when we will be in Jersey City again, we have three more Saturdays booked for the remainder of the year. Please visit the Event Calendar to check those dates. And the Handmade Market itself goes on with or without us every Wednesday and Saturday between now and mid-September! Check it out!

Though Mother Nature was less than cooperative on Saturday, some simple rain and wind couldn't put a damper on the 42nd annual ShadFest! Swaths of people made their way into the streets at the smallest break of sunshine through the clouds, ensuring that the festivities go on and the weekend was a roaring success!

Thanks to all the festival-goers who couldn't help but stop and fawn over our spectacular selection of candles! And thanks also to the staff and volunteers organizing the whole event! We'll definitely see you again next year!

We had an amazing day at the Somerset County 4-H's Spring Craft Show! You can't ask for much better than great customers and great vendor neighbors, both of which this event had in spades. I suppose the only thing that would have made it better is if there were fluffy sheep and rabbits to pet, also. Oh wait, there were!

Thanks to the Somerset County 4-H Association in Bridgewater, NJ for hosting. This is an annual event, so if you missed it, there's always next year!
