It's December 31st! (I still can't believe it). As I sit down to reflect on 2024, my heart is filled with gratitude for each and every one of you who have supported Pensacola Candle Company throughout this incredible year. This journey has been full of both highs and lows, and your support has been the light guiding me forward.
This year brought immense growth for my small business. With your help, I was able to build incredible momentum, expanding my reach and touching more lives with the warm glow of our candles. However, life had its challenges too. Later this summer, my husband and I made the difficult decision to end our marriage. Divorce was never something I imagined on my "bingo card" for the year, and navigating this transition was tough. Through it all, I’m so thankful for the blessing of being able to work for myself, allowing me to prioritize my healing while continuing to pour my passion into every candle.
Even in the hardest moments, I made it a point to look for blessings—and you, my amazing customers, were a constant source of joy and inspiration. This holiday season alone, I poured over 1,500 candles (1,511 to be exact)! That number blows my mind when I think back to where I started four years ago in my tiny home office during the height of the pandemic. What began as a creative escape from stress has grown into a thriving full-time business—and it’s all because of your unwavering support.
Whether you shopped with me in person at Palafox Market, online at pensacolacandleco.com, or through one of my incredible retail partners, please know how much I appreciate you. Every purchase, review, and word of encouragement fuels my passion and keeps Pensacola Candle Company burning brightly.
As we look ahead to 2025, I’m thrilled to share that we have so many exciting things in store for you! All of our beloved core scents, including Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key, and Emerald Coast, will be restocked this week. Fan favorites like Blues Weekend and White Tea & Ginger will also be making their return very soon. Plus, I can’t wait for you to experience some brand-new scents like Tide & Timber, Vintage Velvet, and Ocean Lily.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Your kindness, loyalty, and encouragement mean the world to me. As we step into a new year, I’m filled with hope and excitement for what’s to come, and I’m so grateful to have you by my side.
Here’s to a bright, fragrant, and joyful 2025!
With love and gratitude,
Hannah Lang,
Pensacola Candle Company
