My Story

Stephanie Maryan, Owner of Another Lonely Day Handcraft + Co.

I’m Stephanie, the owner, maker, and creative force behind Another Lonely Day Handcraft + Co, an artisanal candle and home goods company based in Rochester, New York. Another Lonely Day is a relatively small operation, run by me. Each candle is designed, tested, and hand-poured in small batches in my home studio.

My background is in marketing, graphic design, social media management - basically all things creative. I live with my husband, our three dogs, and two cats in Rochester, New York. Some call it Western New York, some call it Upstate, I lovingly call it home.

My goal is simple: to create natural, high-quality, luxurious candles and other handcrafted products and share them with you. We are living in stressful times; it is essential we take time to recharge so that we may rise to fight another day. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and these days simple luxuries are what it’s all about.
