About Us

From our Kingston Cottage to Yours: The Story of Kingston Cottage Candle Co.

We are Stephanie and Sam Dufresne, a husband-and-wife team passionate about bringing the warmth and joy of our Kingston, Rhode Island, cottage into your home through handcrafted candles.

Kingston Cottage Candle Co. started as a shared dream a few years ago together. We always loved the idea of creating a business together, and candles were a natural fit for our love of all things cozy and as natural homebodies. 

Fast forward to 2022, after the birth of our son, Stephanie found a creative outlet in crafting beautifully scented candles as Christmas gifts.  The positive feedback and the pure joy of creating them reignited the spark for that long-held dream. Through countless nap time hours of experimentation and trial and error, Stephanie worked on the craft of candle making, working on unique scent combinations that reminded us of cozy cottage living. 

Finally, in August 2023, Kingston Cottage Candle Co. officially opened its doors! We can't wait to share a piece of our home with you and bring the warmth of our Kingston cottage into yours.

Here's what makes Kingston Cottage Candle Co. special:

  • Handcrafted with love: Each candle is poured and labeled by hand, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail.
  • Inspired by home: Our scents capture the essence of cozy living and evoke a sense of comfort and relaxation.
  • A family business: We work together to bring each product into your hands and love building this business together! 

We invite you to explore our collection and discover your new favorite scent!
