A new permanent studio!
🕯We moved TODAY! (literally I’m writing this as movers are packing up a truck [and now unpacking the truck because I’ve been working a while]!) We had been renting our latest house, which had 2 extra bedrooms for my candle studio.

But no more renting for us! And we put a lovely cozy studio shed in the new backyard for my candle making!

I’ll be settling into my new studio (and finally putting up my Christmas tree - I’m normally an early November girly and it’s been so hard to not decorate yet!) all week/weekend, and then I’ll start processing all your recent orders.

Which. Speaking of which. It’s about to be Black Friday / Small Biz Saturday / Cyber Monday fun. Get 30% off your entire order starting NOW until Monday night with code “BF2025”.

AND, combo that with code “FREE75 for free shipping for orders over $75.

🛒

(Plus an obligatory shot of our candles in case you forgot what they look like!)
This year I have TWO booths at Blue Genie Art Bazaar! It’s open every day 10am to 10pm from now until Christmas. There’s over 200 artists at Blue Genie and it’s my favorite place to shop every holiday season.
1) There’s my regular Burlap Bag booth with candles
2) And my new booth, Light Laughs! Your favorite quotes from tv shows, movies, vines, etc on magnets.

Please go check out both if you’re in Austin and shop local this year!
Halloween!
Greta was a forest elf, Fletcher was Stanley Yelnats IV from the book/movie Holes, and I was a 3rd grader.

(If you aren’t around elementary school boys much, my costume won’t make much sense to you 😂 but everyone got it while we were trick or treating! Definitely my least attractive costume this year haha)

Swipe for other fall costumes//events:
-Us as Batman & Poison Ivy for a Halloween party
-Us as Batman & DISCO Poison Ivy for a 70s murder mystery party (I was killed!)
-Us as a snake oil salesman & French cowgirl singer for at an 1800s murder mystery party - the cigarette was fake! (And I was the culprit!)
Happy 14th birthday to The Burlap Bag! Started this when I was just a lil baby of 22.

I actually forgot it was today, and my brother (former COO, Candle Operations Officer!) surprised me with a tiramisu. I didn’t have any birthday candles at home (oh, the irony), so I added sprinkles. (Blasphemy on a tiramisu, I know I know)

My business has been thru so many changes, ups and downs, studio moving, getting into big stores like Anthropologie (!!) and HEB and Macy’s. I’m grateful for it all, and thankful for y’all being here with me.

If you’d like, use the code “happy14” for 14% off your order - now thru Sunday.

Much love and smells,
Lauren
Fall (& Holiday!) Scents are HERE!
🕯Fall & holiday scents are my all-time favorite. Gimme a good book, a chai tea, and some spiced candles, and I’m SO HAPPY!

Normally I release our fall themed ones now, and then in October I release the more holiday-themed ones. NOPE this year I’m just embracing my full-on-intense-I-LOVE-THIS-SEASON-persona and all 20 scents are live now. 20!!

All are available in our 9oz candle ($20) or 16oz double wicked candle ($32).

Here’s the full line-up:

-Candy Corn - smells like this fav fall treat!
-Cozy Flannel - smells like peppercorn and musk
-Gobble Gobble - smells like tart cranberry mixed with cinnamon, clove, with notes of mandarin orange
-Haunted House - smells like lavender, vanilla, and musk
-Holliest & Jolliest - smells like cinnamon, brown sugar, and cake with a drizzling of icing
-Hostess with the Mostest - smells like pistachio and coffee
-I Love Fall - smells like chestnuts, spiced berries, clove, and nutmeg
-In Pie We Crust - smells like salted pecans, caramel, & pie crust
-Jingle Smells - smells like a fraser fir christmas tree
-New Year New Me - smells like guava, fig, and pear
-Pumpkin Addict - smells like sweet and slightly spiced pumpkin
-Pumpkin Party - smells like amber, peppercorn, and spices
-Santa Snacks - smells like candy canes and marshmallows
-Scary Ghost Stories - smells like clove and orange zest
-Sippin’ Cider - smells like apple cider
-Spooky Season - smells like saffron, pepper, and smoky patchouli
-Tacky Christmas Sweater - smells like gingerbread
-Thankful Times a Bajillion - smells like fir, cedar, clove, and vanilla
-Twinklin’ Tinsel - smells like egg nog
-Yuletide Vibes - smells like cinnamon spice

If holiday things this early aren’t your vibe (yes I know it’s August), just ignore those scents and embrace the fall ones! Come back in a month or two when you’re ready for more festiveness.

(in case you needed to know, my all-time favorite scents of ours are “Pumpkin Addict” and “Tacky Chrismtas Sweater”. OK AND “I Love Fall”.)

We’re donating 100% of the proceeds from our 2 Texas candles
🕯It’s been flooding here in Texas, and an hour away, there’s been so much damage and death and people missing. Included in the missing is girls from a sleepaway camp (one girl was a classmate of Fletcher’s a few years ago 💔). I barely slept last night, just so sad by the news, and hoping for the best, and feeling a little helpless.

Some funds starting popping up this morning to help, so I’m donating 100% of the proceeds of our “Texas Y’all” candle and our “Someone in Texas Loves Me” candle (9oz only, and not bulk listing).
They will be donated to the nonprofit Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.

**UPDATE: As of July 8, we've donated over $1200! Thank you!!**

Someone in Texas Loves Me - This scent is orange, peach, cherry blossom, and white jasmine.
Texas Y’all - This smells like apricots and light florals.

Thank you for helping my state ♥️

Love from 3 native Texans,
Lauren, Greta, and Fletcher
Sound on! 😍opossum! The little feet and tail at the end!
True story, that’s how my candle brand got started. We were a retail gift shop first called The Burlap Bag in 2011. My candle vendor decided no one could find lighters or matches anymore, so she moved to only wax melts. I figured “how hard can it be???” and made a whole line of funny candles. (& they all came with matches back then 😛)
Fast forward… closed the shop in January 2020 to fully focus on candles. 2025 and we’re still doing the thang! A wild ride but I love it!
Brand new collection: “Give My Compliments”
🕯I love to give (ok fine, AND RECEIVE) compliments. They feel like a warm hug! Spread some joy this month. Maybe that’s with words of affirmation, a high five, calling a friend who you’ve missed, or giving your loved ones a silly lil candle. I think everyone could use a little positivity right now!

Our “Give My Compliments...” collection is here to help you! 8 fun names and scents - all with names that are also compliments!

Each scent is available as both a 9oz single wicked candle ($20), or 16oz double wicked candle ($32).

🥔You’re all that and a bag of chips - Smells like cactus, sea salt, driftwood, and sea moss
😸You’re the cat’s meow - Smells like coconut water, chamomile, tonka bean, and lily
👗You’re cooler than a dress with pockets - Smells like a tart, juicy pear
💨You’re a certified smoke show - Smells like a smoky vanilla with birch and sandalwood
🍞 You’re the best thing since sliced bread - Smells like a piece of hot buttered bread
🌯You’re the whole enchilada - Smells like thyme, pepper, vetiver, amber
🐱You’re the cat’s pajamas - Smells like fresh laundry hanging outside to dry in the sunshine
8️⃣You’d be in my top 8 - Smells just like a spiced zucchini bread

The “Give My Compliments...” collection candles will ONLY be available to order Tuesday 5/6 through Thursday 5/8. Orders will ship 1-2 weeks after preorder closes. Any regular items that are purchased along with preorder candles will wait to ship until your complete order is ready.
