Imagine walking into a cozy shop, the air filled with the warm, inviting scents of handmade candles. Now, picture this: a survivor of breast cancer turns her passion for crafting into a thriving business, offering unique, healthy alternatives to traditional candles. This is the inspiring story behind Simply Poured, Harborcreek’s newest gem.
Nestled in the heart of Harborcreek Township, Simply Poured has officially opened its doors, bringing a delightful array of handcrafted candles to the community. Founded by Diana Majewski, this small business is more than just a shop—it’s a testament to resilience, creativity, and the joy of turning a hobby into something meaningful.
Diana’s journey into candle making began in 2019, initially as a creative outlet for craft shows. But here’s where it gets personal: her passion for crafting candles blossomed two to three years after her battle with breast cancer. And this is the part most people miss—it wasn’t just about making candles; it was about creating something safe, healthy, and free from the harsh chemicals often found in mass-produced alternatives.
Her first attempt at candle making? A complete flop. But Diana wasn’t deterred. She embraced the challenge, refining her skills and experimenting with natural ingredients to ensure her candles were not only beautiful but also kind to both people and the planet. Today, her creations are a labor of love, each one poured with care and attention to detail.
At Simply Poured, you’ll find a curated selection of scents that range from soothing lavender to invigorating citrus, each designed to transform your space into a sanctuary. But here’s where it gets controversial: in a world dominated by factory-made products, is there still a place for handmade, artisanal goods? Diana’s story suggests there is—and that it’s more important than ever.
As you explore her shop, you’ll not only discover unique candles but also a story of perseverance and innovation. So, here’s the question: Do you believe handmade products like these can make a difference in our lives and communities? Share your thoughts in the comments—we’d love to hear your perspective!
