Scented Soy Wax Candles from TAB Candles - hand made by us in East Sussex. We run a shop and previously bought in candles, we found them either inexpensive but smelt cheap or excessively costly. So then began the long process of testing and trialling our own hand made product. These are the results we hope you enjoy them as much as we do. We use the finest fragrances made to the highest standards in the UK or France. Why use soy wax? Derived form soy beans, paraffin wax is derived from oil.

The Decorative Living Fair is a good place to source these French treasures, several dealers often have them, including Weathered and Worn, Nikki Page Antiques. Chloe Antiques and Lois Kirsten. We asked antique dealer Spencer Swaffer for his views. Those who are lucky enough to live within easy reach of The Old Haberdashery. Where do you start? Sylko threads and wools. The charm of blue and white.
