ABOUT

Hi! I'm Ashley, founder of Pepper Cottage Co.

This journey began as a way to reconnect with the creative spark I’d abandoned for years. Like many, I got caught up in “adulting” and lost touch with the joy of making. In early 2023, the urge to create became impossible to ignore, and I found my way to candle-making—a craft both new and exciting.

I wanted candles that stood out: unique scents, clean burns, and minimalist vessels that could be repurposed. Using soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and essential oils, I began creating candles that felt intentional and inspired.

Pepper Cottage is my little escape from the chaos of everyday life. It’s where I slow down, unplug, and savor the simple things—a late-night dance under the stars, that first cup of coffee at sunrise, or getting lost in a book by the fire.

My hope is that when you light a Pepper Cottage candle, it brings you a moment of peace and reminds you to find joy in the small, beautiful things.
