The Casa Querida Collection

This trio automatically qualifies for free shipping. There's a word for this feeling. Añoranza - the ache of missing a place so specific that nowhere else will do. Añoranza can describe: Longing for a place you once lived or visited Yearning for home when you're away Missing people who are no longer present Nostalgia for a particular time or period A wistful desire for something that cannot easily be recovered A bittersweet connection to memories, traditions, or experiences from the past Scent brings us back to times and places like none of our other senses do. If you are a lover of New Mexico, this candle trio will transport you right where your heart wants to be. Fall Chile Roaster - The metal drum roasting green chile outside your favorite grocery store. Spice on the air when your neighbor is roasting at home. This is the scent that means home if you grew up here and the scent that makes you understand it if you didn't. You won't find it anywhere else, because it doesn't exist anywhere else. Heat, spice, smoke, hot metal, sweetness, char, and even the scents of the autumn air & red chile ristras hanging nearby become part of the melange. This is New Mexico. Biscochitos y Besitos - Biscochitos are the state cookie of New Mexico, typically prepared around the holidays. Anise, cinnamon, vanilla, orange, and other spices create a warm, festive buttery/sweet scent. Your abuelita's kitchen in December when she’s been baking since before you woke up. A kiss on the forehead. A cookie you weren't supposed to have yet, and got anyway. The Sage Serene - Wild southwest sage and lavender, calming, grounding and unhurried. The particular stillness of the high desert at dusk, especially if it’s rained that day. A fascinating herbal, earthy blend. Burn it when you need your house to hold you the way the land does. We have bottled these distinct scents to share with family & friends or simply to love up your own hearth & home with the aroma of authentic New Mexico. We use a proprietary blend of 100% natural coconut & soy waxes for a clean burning optimal scent throw. Each 13oz luxury double wick candle yields 78-84 hours of burn time in a heavy body jar with a hand branded bamboo lid. The Casa Querida (beloved house) Collection. For everyone who left a piece of themselves here and wants to be enchanted again. Gorgeous as an upcycled vessel with many potential uses.
