Meet the Maker

After being a stay at home Gigi for three years, I knew my grandson would be going to full-time preschool and I would have a lot of free time on my hands.  In January 2021 I bought a candle making kit and made a few candles.  I fell in love with it!!! I read everything I could get my hands on, joined lots of candle making groups on Facebook and did tons of testing fragrances and wicks.  I was obsessed!!!!  Pretty sure I was driving my husband crazy!  I created a Facebook page and put my candles out there to see what happened....the response was a bit overwhelming.  I invested in some equipment, signed up for some vendor shows and here I am, just doing what I love.

My name is Anita Pettigrew and I am the maker behind Scent + Soy Candles.
