Come have a look, discover something new, and stay awhile.

Three beautiful candles, made right here in BC, each with its own little story.

Bloom Botanicals, filled with natural aromatherapy and botanical scents.

Hidden Auras, hand-poured and paired with beautiful crystals.

Valley & Ember, inspired by the West Coast and made right here on Vancouver Island.

There’s something about lighting a candle that makes a space feel instantly more like home.

Valley & Ember Candle Co. creates candles inspired by the quiet beauty of Vancouver Island, designed to bring a little calm, warmth and connection to nature into your everyday moments.

Hand-poured in Canada with coconut, soy and beeswax, their candles are made with a focus on clean-burning ingredients, thoughtful scents and a whole lot of intention.

A little glow for slow mornings, cozy evenings and everything in between.

Find Valley & Ember at Timber & Tide General Store!

I don't know how, but today we finally snuck out for a coffee and a treat to Society Barbershop and Cafe and boy, it did not disappoint!

If you haven't tried them yet, we highly recommend you do! They serve Drumroaster Coffee beans and carry gluten free tasty, tasty treats from PauLeighs Kitchen.

They are just a 5 min walk from the store, which is dangerous for us as we had the apple & cream cheese muffin. Twice. Thank goodness for sweater weather!

See you at the store. ❤️
