In honor of Earth Day, we hosted our first ever Candle Recycling event at Station 7. We collected over 20 empty candle jars are feel so excited about making a step in the right direction to properly recycle the candles that we sell.

This is why it felt very important to us at Station 7 to take this important step, especially on Earth Day, to do our part, but also report back on if candle recycling is truly as easy as the internet makes it out to be, heh. 

At Station 7, we’ve taken our time to curate the products that we have in our shop. Each product comes with a background, a local artist creating a unique handmade gift. 

We love seeing the handmade market grow in popularity, but why are consumers seeking out small, local businesses for special holidays? What makes shopping small so special - what does it really mean to shop small, local business?
