About Us
For the Love of Norfolk was born from an emotional visit to Holkham Beach, North Norfolk. It was November 2020 and I was struggling with depression and motivation. The weather was drizzly, windy and cold but whilst watching the sands dancing rhythmically across the beach, I feltinvigorated and alive for the first time in a long time. I wanted to capture that feeling and smell to take home with me. A constant reminder of being alive. But how?
That’s when the idea, research and testing of candles came about. With my passion for Norfolk and it’s history, I knew I wanted to make fragrances that honoured the Beauty, People, Nuances & Places of this stunning County. I also wanted my Candles to be Eco-Friendly and kind to the planet.
I started out with 4 core themed Candles, Mackintosh’s, Sandringham Royal, Coastal Path and Horatio. 5 years later and I have over 25 specific Candle themes, available in Wax Melt Brittle and Reed Diffusers.
March 2024 I opened a Stall on Norwich’s Historic Market, so I could talk and share my passion directly with customers. I had so many requests for other Norfolk products, from Art Work, Soap, Tote Bags

I had so many requests for other Norfolk products, from Art Work, Soap, Tote Bags etc that the Stall has evolved into Norwich’s only Norfolk Souvenir shop. I work with other local Artists and collaborate and support them, by stocking their unique works.
June 2025 saw the Stall double in size and my little dachshund, Reggie comes to the Market with me everyday and is a bit of a celebrity!
The future will see more quality Home Fragrances and lovely gifts that are Inspired by Norfolk and Handmade in Norfolk UK.
With Love Karen & Reggie x
