Meet My Friend: Dark Horse Handcrafted

I’m so excited to introduce you to my friend Denice at Dark Horse Handcrafted, a brand that feels like a warm hug in candle form. If you’ve ever wanted to fill your home with cozy, soul-soothing scents, this is the shop you’ve been waiting for. Proudly Canadian and operating out of beautiful Haliburton, Ontario.

Dark Horse Handcrafted was born from a love of creating and a passion for making spaces feel truly inviting. What started with woodworking evolved into beautifully hand-poured candles, each crafted with precision in an off-grid, solar-powered studio. Every candle is made with natural coconut soy wax, chosen because it burns cleaner and longer — so you get more glow and fragrance with less impact on the planet.

What I love most about Dark Horse is how intentional every detail feels. From carefully curated scents that evoke memory and emotion to sustainable practices that nurture both your home and the planet, these candles go far beyond décor. They’re designed to make you pause, reflect, and celebrate the small joys in life.

If you’re wondering where to start, their New Additions Collection is a must-see. The Fog Fable Candle in particular is a standout — a clean-burning blend of natural coconut soy wax with a scent that brings comfort into any room. You’ll also want to peek at their All Candles Collection, where every scent has its own devoted fan club.

And here’s the best part: for a limited time, Dark Horse Handcrafted is giving you $10 to spend sitewide with code SPEND10 (valid for 7 days only!). Don’t wait — light up your home with something that’s eco-friendly and good for the soul.
