Ooh La La Petite Boutique Candles

Vintage teacup candle


A few months ago, we were approached by Ooh La La Petite Boutique about carrying their items in our store.  We were drawn to them as they were something unique that we had never seen before.  Ooh La La is the brain child of Eni and Greg, a couple where Eni makes candles and Greg spends his time photographing them.  Greg also takes wonderful Polaroid pictures of various places and transfers them to archival watercolor paper for beautiful prints.  

Vintage Creamer Candle

Eni and Greg collect vintage teacups, creamers, and other containers from all over the world and hand pour their candles in these.  They use soy wax that is made from 100% soybeans and is 100% natural.  These items make great decorations after the candles are done or Eni is willing to refill them for a small fee.

The cups that Eni and Greg collect are all unique and it is very rare that you will find two of them same cup. They have a range of sixteen scents that go from very fruity to minty/fresh.

When Eni and Greg brought their candles to our store, they presented them in a beautiful antique suitcase. The candles were situated on top of vintage camera cases and Greg had thrown some of his Polaroid prints of Paris in to accent the candles.  They look absolutely great and complement the rest of our store nicely.

Finally, Greg and Eni also make candles in old mason and jelly jars.  They hand paint these mason jars and then hand pour one of their sixteen scents of candles into them for a wonderful gift or decorative piece.
