The first thing people often ask us is about our name. You'll notice that we misspelled armadillo by changing the "o" to an "a". One of the original members lived for a time in Texas and it seemed appropriate to use the Texas pronunciation. We still have a connection to Texas in that three of our beautiful Granddaughters were born in Texas.
The candles you see on our web site are the result of the evolution of design ideas, molds and techniques. Just so you know, all of our designs are original and most of our candles are poured in molds that we have made.
Everybody has a philosophy about their work - about life...it often seems that it just comes down to something as simple as "focus and simplify". Our goal has always been to make the best candles so that they will burn clean and burn as long as possible. We use carefully chosen and tested fragrances and waxes.
This is us - photo taken just a few years ago. "It's only a paper moon" set was in San Diego.
Does anyone need an excellent wick waxing machine? a votive wick tabbing machine? we have a multi-head wax dispenser - also for sale. Please contact us!
All of our candles are made in Prescott, Arizona.
We sincerely appreciate your interest in our company and believe it is an honor to have our candles selected for a wedding or given as gifts.
Have you been thinking about opening a location for your business? The candle shop is an amazing space with highway visibility and might be just what you've been looking for. We prefer to initially receive an E-mail instead of a phone call - because we have limited availability or regular open hours these days. Thanks!
