Autumn Laurel & Co
Vendor
Autumn Laurel is a self-care and lifestyle brand rooted in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. We create handcrafted candles, wax melts, soaps, lotions, room sprays, and home goods that blend Appalachian tradition with modern self-care rituals. Each product is made in small batches with premium apricot-coconut soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients for a clean, long-lasting experience.
Our collections—ranging from the Blue Ridge and Highlander lines to seasonal favorites—reflect the rhythm of the mountains, the warmth of home, and the beauty of intentional living. We pride ourselves on creating scents and goods that invite you to slow down, savor the moment, and carry a piece of Appalachia with you wherever you go.
With a moody, refined aesthetic and a focus on quality craftsmanship, Autumn Laurel offers more than products—we offer comfort, nostalgia, and the art of everyday ritual.

Laura Raschke is the founder of Autumn Laurel, a self-care and lifestyle brand inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

With two master’s degrees—one in Counseling and one in Business Administration—Laura brings both heart and strategy to her work. She is passionate about creating products that foster comfort, connection, and a sense of place, while also encouraging others to embrace balance and authenticity in their own lives. When she isn’t teaching or pouring candles, Laura enjoys family time, scenic drives along the Parkway, and exploring the four seasons of the mountains she calls home.
