Candle Store - About Us

Hi, I'm Georgina and I am the founder of Quirky Candles, a small candle shop based in the beautiful countryside of Unst, Shetland - the UK's most northerly inhabited isle.

Quirky Candles started over a conversation myself and my husband, Keagan had when we were on our honeymoon. As you can probably guess, I love candles and over the years I have spent a fortune buying candles.

We got chatting and as a flyaway comment Keagan said "why don't you make them!". And so, an idea formed and over time Quirky Candles was born.

But a bit more information about us, we are a young couple starting our life in scenic Shetland with our menagerie of animals. Our house is always very busy, with our four dogs and cat there is never a quiet moment. Somehow I have managed to squeeze in making candles and wax melts. In doing so I have found my passion!

I hope to spread as much joy to you as I experience when making them. So please, feel free to get in touch to see what we can do to make your dreams come true whilst I work mine!
