Hi! I’m Haley, the one woman show who makes the candles & sources the vintage for The Gilded Fern.

Ever since I was a kid my family taught me the joys of treasure hunting in flea markets & antique shops. So in the midst of 2020, when looking for a creative outlet, I realized it was time to put my treasure hunting skills to the test! I started sharing my vintage finds on Instagram while still living in Portland, OR.

A year later, I decided to make my move closer to home on the East Coast & wound up in the mountain town of Asheville, NC. It's there that I took up the hobby of candle making & fell head over heels for it. I’ve spent the last two years perfecting my process to bring you the happiest little candles you've ever seen!
