2025 Fantasy Faire Merchants

The Arcane Candle Company
It all started with a Christmas gift idea for my mom. I walked into the hobby store, looking for something I could make with my two hands. I saw the candle kits and thought this would be something she would enjoy. Who doesn't enjoy candles? I made her a lavender-scented candle and put my little touches to it by adding layered colors and dried lavender buds. Back then, I was unaware of the precise temperatures and fragrance percentages needed to make a candle successful. Since then, I have spent countless hours and months upon months of testing and research. Little did I know just how much I would enjoy the science and art of blending fragrance oils and pouring candles.

Made By Mommy Jane
I’m Amanda: wife, mom of 3, and a 5th grade teacher in NW Ohio. As an avid reader but also mom of toddlers, I knew I needed to keep my books safe (because little hands and missing bookmarks are a STRUGGLE), so I researched ways to keep my sanity and came across book sleeves.
Immediately, I started buying book sleeves, but had the desire to create my own. I invested in a sewing machine and set my mind (and my husband’s) to it! We’ve created a solid way to keep your books safe AND look cute!
Mommy Jane came to be one afternoon when I took something away from my daughter, Poppy Jane (she hears her full name often). She, clearly upset, yells at me and says “Mommy Jannnnnnne!” True, I am a mommy and my middle name is Jane, but absolutely hilarious that Poppy called me that like I was in trouble!

Natasia Embroidery
Is embroidery a "fine art"? It is more fine and finicky than any other medium I've worked in so far!
Hi! I'm Natasha Hartman, the artist behind Natasia Embroidery, and I draw and digitize everything you see here. I work in the thread medium instead of ceramics or paint (which is what I trained in) because I adore textiles and art equally.

Rebellious Essence
Rebellious Essence offers a variety of ornate designs and luxurious velvet ribbon bookmarks to give any of your favorite books some extra bling. Popular designs inspired by ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, From Blood and Ash, and more!
