Best friends and business partners, Tom Jansen and Amanda Buhse started Coal and Canary in 2014 over a glass of wine and an idea. They now sell their handmade candles online, at markets and are in over 200 retail stores in 3 countries and have opened their own store in Winnipeg. The pair found a gap in the market for high-quality, handmade candles and jumped on it. What started as a side project is now a full time job for the two. Having had their candles featured in Oscar and Grammy swag bags and with their hard work and dedication, they have experienced a quick rise to success. Hear about their journey and love for candles.
