Casa Vieja

Introducing our new scented candle collection - Casa Vieja. This is a subtle aroma that signifies "welcome to our home".  This was the name of an historic hacienda on Mill Avenue in old town Tempe, Arizona. Why the connection to Tempe?

The candle business started in Tempe in the1970's just a block away from this landmark hacienda. Originally built by Carl Hayden, just across from the Hayden's Flour Mill, the home was well known in the area.  Both the home and the mill are still standing today. You may have noticed Hayden's Flour Mill products in grocery stores! The hacienda eventually became a once famous restaurant, Monti's La Casa Vieja, and is now being restored. The restaurant was also a popular establishment for many years with delicious food and a friendly ambiance.
