My name is Dana and I live in a small town in South Carolina with my wonderful husband Freddie and my 19 year old son Tyler.
I worked in retail accounting for a company based out of Ohio for many years. Then one day we were told that they would be closing all the Southeastern stores and I was devastated - this was my dream job. So I picked up the pieces and moved on.
At first I was excited to be a SAHM but quickly became depressed because I was so used to being on the go all the time and never stopping. So going from that life style to doing nothing was very hard on me.

This vintage bunny would look great on a shelf or tucked amongst your Easter primitives. He is made of wax and is very detailed on the front and back. He has been rubbed with spices to bring out all of his features. He measures 4 3/4" tall by 2" wide.
So that Christmas I decided to hand make all my gifts and everyone LOVES candles so that's what I decided to make. I did a lot of research on line and practiced. I searched the Internet to find the finest wax, fragrance oils and molds to produce the highest quality candles. And with a lot of trial and error, I mastered the art of candle making.
That year I gave them to family and friends and they became a huge hit. Next thing I knew, I had orders coming in.
I started having home parties and doing craft shows. Then I had so many friends and customers suggest that I start my own web site. So with much consideration my husband and I agreed that is what we should do. So he handled all the that for me, thank goodness, because I'm not good at that part of the business. I think he did a wonderful job on the web site and that's how Homespun Treasures began.
