Welcome to the funnest little shoppe where all the candles and wax melts are simple, natural & clean. Sometimes they're sweet & sometimes they're sassy!
Everything in my rustic little workshop is meticulously hand poured with so much affection and A LOT of four letter words. Love, care...and yes,
occasionally those other ones too!
Because it's all about the fun, along with the fantastically fragrant candle
products I've also added a little whimsy for your cherished space
& special moments!
Happy Shopping!
People seem to have an easier time to let go of something when they’re talking to someone or feel supported by someone else. The truth is we have the ability to do that for ourselves.
When you understand the levels of energy, it becomes easier to stay at a specific level for an appropriate amount of time, as opposed to being there too long. This is especially true for circumstances that have a negative impact on us. I think when you recognize that & practice it in the moment, it makes it easier to let go of the negativity. One of the biggest challenges with that is where do you put it?
It’s a gift for those who can feel it, process it then let it go. For many they don’t know how to let it go. They have to “get rid” of it to help them move on. That’s where talking to someone else and feeling supported by someone else can play a major role in that.
Unfortunately, not everyone has a good support system. And, not every circumstance comes with the opportunity to tap into that support system. Not to mention, not everyone wants to talk to their support system every time something happens. Sometimes we just need to be with our thoughts and feelings. But, this doesn’t mean we should keep them. We still need to move out of that space that’s holding us hostage.
Not every circumstance warrants tapping into your support system (if you have one). You have to decide what does and doesn’t because everything means something different to each of us. Sometimes you just need to have a conversation with yourself. And, that often comes easier when there’s another pair of eyes looking at you…and not necessarily yours reflecting back in the mirror.
Sometimes it’s just a matter of KNOWING your support is there. What a better way to know for sure when they’re in your pocket.. literally.
That’s where the Niff comes in.
Not one of them are the same. Like humans, they all have their own individuality. Some bigger than others, different colours, shapes.. special features.. all intentional by design.
Each one comes with their own birth certificate and “official documents”. The documents include what they are, their “dictionary definition” along with the adoption card & oath of adoption. The oath is actually a commitment to yourself to let things go. To make the concerted effort each time to only stay in that place the appropriate amount of time. Not longer than necessary.
As a fun little add on, they come with an owners manual which gives you additional insight into their character and purpose.
A whimsical way to keep your mental health a priority and as balanced as possible. Obviously there are those who need additional professional resources. Having said that, there isn’t one person who doesn’t experience things in our daily lives that we need to manage. Sometimes we do it well and sometimes we don’t. The Niff is there to help you do it better more often than not.
It’s the best gift you can give for yourself or anyone else!

The Olde Crow
After working the rat race in a corporate environment for many years it was time to make my dreams a reality. When I first opened Olde Crow Creek, the goal was to be the favourite of someone. The little rustic yellow building was a place that you could come to find something special, and it was unlike any other you'd been to. I always wanted everyone to leave loving their experience and maybe not even understanding why?
Although I've been known to tell a dirty joke, say a few bad words and throw my uncombed hair under a ball cap, the passion for making Olde Crow Creek the best place ever never wavered.
Being online was not something I had ever planned. I always wanted to make sure you could hear how I perfected the art of sarcasm, laughed at my own jokes and slipped in the odd curse word when I unleashed the crash course on candle care. AND, of course see, touch and smell everything the shoppe had to offer, all while practicing your singing talents with the best music ever!
More importantly, it was my opportunity to welcome you to one of the most special places in the world to me. Being in my home away from home, it gave me a chance to show you how important you were to my little shoppe. The Crow was never just about stuff. It was always about the experience. I'm so thankful for the 8 fabulous years in the historic little town of Pakenham, just outside of our nation's capital.
Today is a new day, in a new province, with a new vision...and that means a new Olde Crow Creek. With the same passion I'm making it my mission to ensure your experience is as memorable as possible. It's very humbling to see that so many of you continue to be excited about this next chapter. I am absolutely thrilled that we will learn and grow together on this new journey. And to all the new friends of The Crow, welcome to the family! I'm so happy that you're here!
P.S. Now that everything is online I'm thinking it's quite possible that this housewife-with-a-hobby may never comb her hair again!
