La Vela by Charren

creating something people love also means accepting that not everyone will.

and that’s okay. 🤍

every market reminds me that everyone has different preferences. someone might walk past your booth, someone else might not connect with what you made, and then the next person says, “this is exactly what i’ve been looking for.”

there are definitely days when i wonder if i should keep going or if this is even leading somewhere. but then i remember the messages, the kind comments, the returning customers, the new opportunities, and even the small growth i see along the way. that’s when i realize… maybe it’s working. maybe progress just isn’t always loud.

to my fellow small business owners… what’s one thing that’s kept you motivated lately? 🤍

if you’ve been meaning to stop by our booth, here’s your sign. 🤍

these will be our last two in-person markets for a little while before we shift back to selling mostly through our online shop.

• aug 8 Pineridge Hollow + The Village
• aug 31 Createful Spaces

we’ll be bringing our summer collection and room sprays, so if you’ve been wanting to smell them in person, we’d love to see you.

hope to see you there! ✨

you spend so much time creating, posting, and showing up… and sometimes you wonder if anyone is even noticing.

just a little backstory: one day, the owner of a local small business personally reached out to ask if i could create custom candles for their company. 🥹

today, i sent my very first wholesale partnership proposal.

crossing my fingers and feeling incredibly grateful for this little milestone. 🤍✨

summer starts here. ☀️🍑🍉🍊

our newest collection is now live online!

hand-poured, made with natural soy wax, and inspired by the scents of the season. we can’t wait for you to experience them.

shop now at lavelabycharren.ca 🤍

hearing your kind words about both our products and booth setup honestly made my day. 🥹✨

thank you to everyone who stopped by and brought a little piece of La Vela home. 🤍

thank you for having us, Selkirk Summer Days Market 🤍

If we were having coffee together, this is probably what our conversation would sound like. ☕

thank you for being here. whether you’ve been following since day one or just recently found my little corner of the internet. i’m really glad you’re here.

now tell me… what’s your go-to coffee order? ♡
