✨ NEW HEARTLAND FOUNDRY CANDLE ✨
Coming soon to our booth at Vintage Trade

This candle is bringing pure Saturday morning energy to Heartland Foundry. Think cereal bowls on the table, cartoons on the TV, and nowhere you had to be. The top is packed with colorful “cereal” wax pieces over creamy milk-colored wax.

And the scent?
It smells exactly like Froot Loops. Sweet, fruity, and nostalgic in the best way.

Soy blend wax. It is phthalate free and California Prop 65 compliant.

Right now, the working name is:

🥣 Saturday Morning Cartoons

But I’m still open to better ideas.

I’d love your help naming it.
Drop your best name ideas in the comments.
Funny names, cozy names, retro names, cereal-inspired. I want them all.

Once it’s named, this candle will be a regular part of the Heartland Foundry lineup.

Would you keep “Saturday Morning Cartoons”
or change it?

Just stocked these Water Street Wassail candles made by local Heartland Foundry in Cape.

These candles smell AMAZING!!! It’s a blend of tart cranberry with warm cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and a bright touch of orange. It smells like a cozy winter simmer pot filling the room. Each candle is small batch and hand poured in Cape using soy wax and a mix of essential oils including cinnamon leaf, clove leaf, nutmeg and orange peel.

They are hand poured into true vintage 1940s Franciscan Apple cups with matching saucers. Once the candle is finished you can clean it out and enjoy the set as a usable vintage cup and saucer again.

Only three are available at Vintage Trade.
