a Thistle Moon co. is a small independent business founded by me, Kris. I am a wife and mom of two very busy Pixies. I have always had a passion for creating , whether that be interior design, crafting, or jewelry design. As life got busy, I found myself searching for a way to bring my love of creating back into my life, to have just a little something just for me. It was then that I found candle making...and from there...well...the rest is history. 

 

One of my other interests is all things CELTIC! I have toured Ireland, got married in a castle, I even married a Scotsman! Walking the fields of Ireland just produced this feeling of calm and groundedness that I have never felt before or since! So when naming this little venture, I wanted to pay homage to this experience. Since I wore thistle flowers in my hair for my wedding, it just seemed very fitting. As I researched further, I found that there is an essential oil from a 'moon flower' that one can use to help with feelings of confinement or yearning to escape. Those feelings are why I went looking for this hobby and I am sure many of you can relate to feeling stuck in life from time to time. The main ingredient in this oil is 'lunar thistle.' And from the moment I read about this plant, the name Thistle Moon was born! I hope that the hand crafted products that we develop bring YOU a sense of calm and peace, while knowing that you are using the purest of products we can find! Enjoy!
