Hearth & Hammer is owned by husband & wife team Ariane Scholl and Andy Kenney. The goods they carry are products you’ll feel happy about purchasing—made by other small businesses and artisans. What’s more: they create their own candle line to “illuminate literature through aromatic storytelling.” The scents they create bring classics like Walden Woods and The Great Gatsby to life.

For this inaugural episode, we sat down with Brummel & Bivvy, a hand-poured candle company in Austin, TX. Their scents are expertly crafted, and they have quite a few that are perfect for the fall and winter months. We loved hearing about how they created their brand out of a love for the outdoors and a desire to capture the scent and memory of camping. It’s a sweet story of a passion turned into a hobby, turned into a business. Please check out their Water’s Edge candle or their Smoking Den candle in our shop!
