Shop Story

“This little shop really did begin on my porch!

I have always loved candles — the look, the feel, the warmth — but I never felt comfortable burning regular candles. I didn't like the soot or fumes, and I wanted something healthier for my home.

 I began pouring beeswax candles in 2013 for my family and friends. As word spread, more and more folks wanted a safer alternative, and so The Porch Store Shop was born!

Over the years, my creative world only grew. My husband Tommy and I also run Robinson Reworks, where we breathe new life into vintage silverware — transforming it into one-of-a-kind jewelry, wind chimes, suncatchers, bud vases, and more. We’re proud to have been featured in Montclair Local ,

And we’ve recently brought a curated collection of Robinson Reworks pieces here to the shop as well.

After years on Etsy and setting up our little porch shop at 62 Sunset Ave. in Bloomfield, NJ — where neighbors could stop by, browse, and stay a while — I’ve built this space to share the things I love to create with a wider world.

Please look around. Stick around. I hope you find this space warm and welcoming.

Peace,

Cindy and Tommy
