Renee Morgan | Morgan Creek Candles

Renee is the local maker behind this brand of all-natural hand poured soy candles that feature cotton wicks and phthalate free premium fragrance oils.

Her interest in candle making was first piqued when her daughter showed her a lovely high-end antique dough bowl candle with an exorbitant price tag. She wondered if she could possibly re-create the look for less, and once she got her hands into the process, a new interest was born!

One of Renee's goals is to make her candles more natural and “user friendly” - knowing that headaches are common among consumers because of the chemicals often used in commercial candle making practices. Being intentional about the quality of her ingredients has resulted in a robust line of clean-burning fragrances that will appeal to a wide variety of scent preferences.

Born, raised, and still living in Franklin County, she loves the unique peace and beauty that is found in this special corner of the country. When pressed, Renee claims that her favorite scents (at present) are Farmhouse Fresh and Coffee House.

Morgan Creek Candles can be currently found in several area shops - including Rooster's Rise-N-Shine Distillery, The Southern Goat, Twin Creeks Distillery, The Crooked Road Mart (Ferrum), Amanda's, and Sofi's Gifts. Though you'll find a few exclusive scents at these locales, the bulk of her line can be found in her Etsy Shop where you can place your order and enjoy convenient nationwide shipping.
