18 Ways to Take Your Summer Decor From Bright and Breezy to Cozy and Chic for Fall

About 5B&CO.

From home-based hobby to being voted by readers of The Pitch Magazine as Best of KC Candles has been quite the journey!

Marsha Flowers and her sister, Lori Palmer, began pouring candles in their garages in 1993, to make a little money while their kids were small. Four years later, the business had grown to the point that Marsha opened a storefront in Weston, MO to market their hand-poured candles. The original name was Two Blessings. As they added “blessings”, also known as children, they changed their business name with each child and finally landed on Five Blessings Candleworks (read more history).

Now the company is expanding once again, taking a new direction because of the 2020 shutdowns. 5B&Co. Candlemakers has become the parent company, pulling together the social media exposure and funneling it to this website. Five Blessings remains the name of Marsha’s Etsy store. Same awesome custom scent blends in votives, melts, jar candles and room sprays no matter where you purchase.

Currently located in Leavenworth, KS (technically Kansas City), Marsha makes the best candles and room fragrances in the area. Their scents are extremely popular locally, and are shipped all over the USA.

All ingredients are made in the USA and are the best of quality. Candles are hand-poured with love, every day, in small batches. The fragrances are phthalate free (better for your pets, children, and you!). Much healthier for your environment. Many times, unique signature scents are blended personally by Marsha. Mix and match votive candle aromas like Meant to Be, Water Mint, Executioner, Groovy Patchouli, Glory, Blackberry Musk, Clean Undies  – almost 200 unique and exclusive fragrances!
