Most people familiar with Boston General Store know our goal: bring long-lasting, well-crafted products, made by people driven by the love of what they create, to the rest of the world.
Meeting makers is the best part of doing this work because experiencing their passion firsthand re-inspires us to keep working toward that goal. Which is why we are so excited to introduce the newest maker to our store...
Boston General Store!

Joining the Maker Community
Yep, we're introducing ourselves.
When the store first began as a small idea operating out of the extra space in my dining room, I had so many dreams for what the future could look like. One of those dreams was to establish a line of BGS brand products that would be made with the same values used by the artisans we believed in.
Earlier this year we partnered with the gentleman over at Manready Mercantile, a Houston-based outfit that started as a candlemaker. I admired their product from the moment I discovered them and began carrying their goods at the shop. Their approach to craftsmanship is promising, creating everything through honesty and hard work, so I knew they were a perfect match for collaborating.

The Essence of New England
After a ton of planning (and a few Shiner Bock's), we came up with a design for a product that embodied the great aspects of New England living.
I grew up spending a lot of time in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. When you get to experience this region of the country, the one thing that never leaves you are its unique sights and smells. Our ambition was to capture that essence (es-scents?) of the landscape through a blend of high-quality fragrances in the form of a candle.
With scents of wood, leather and smoke, Acadian Night is meant to evoke the spirit of an evening spent in the quiet wilderness of the northeast United States. It can bring you back to that end-of-summer vacation at the family cabin in Maine or a to a fall hike in the White Mountains.

Handcrafted with Quality Ingredients
The candles are hand poured and made in small batches using the highest quality essential oils and 100% soy wax, which is non toxic and burns cleaner than a standard paraffin candle.
Come into the shop to give it a whiff someday (we'll have one burning) and let us know what you think. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as we do.
See you soon!
