The Memory
Some friendships feel like home, no matter where you are. That’s what it’s like with you.
I still think about that weekend we escaped to that cottage in the Country, just the two of us, no plans, no rush, just the sound of the trees swaying outside and the fire crackling low in the hearth. The concrete walls holding onto years of stories, of laughter like ours. We wrapped ourselves in soft blankets, mugs of something warm in hand, the night stretching out before us, endless and easy.
Lighting The Old Cottage takes me right back there, to deep conversations under dim light, to the smell of the woods creeping in through the door, to that feeling of knowing that no matter where life takes us, I’ll always have a place beside you. It’s not just a candle. It’s a reminder of the kind of friendship that feels like home.

How to use
To ensure you enjoy your candle safely, always burn it within sight. Never leave a lit candle unattended, and keep it away from anything flammable such as curtains, furniture, or papers.
Before each use, trim the wick to around 5mm. This helps prevent an overly large flame, excessive smoke, and ensures a clean, even burn. For best results, allow the wax to melt fully across the surface on the first burn to avoid tunnelling.
Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Avoid burning your candle near open windows, fans, or drafts that could cause uneven burning or sooting.
Keep candles out of reach of children and pets. Stop using the candle when about 10mm of wax remains at the bottom to prevent overheating the container.

This was my first purchase from Memory Lane candles and I absolutely ADORE my candle ( The Cabin). It's such a gorgeous scent, I now need to purchase ALL of the other candles from this company!
The customer service was fabulous too! Including a lovely little touch of a hand written note with my delivery. As a small business owner myself, this really stood out for me!
My candle was packaged brilliantly, looks and smells gorgeous. I'll definitely be back for more!
