About Us

Hi, I’m Miranda, the heart (and hands) behind The Shelfcare Collection. This small business was created for book lovers who don’t just read books—they live with them. I curate vintage books and hand-pour literary-inspired candles for fellow bookish hearts who crave comfort, character, and a little everyday magic. My mission is simple: satisfy the desires of book lovers while uplifting community and kindness. I believe in collaboration over competition. I partner with other small shops, highlight their work, and create spaces where everyone feels welcome—collectors, casual readers, and cozy seekers alike. This business isn’t just about selling things; it’s about connection, storytelling, and building something meaningful together. Behind the scenes, I’m a real person with a real life—married, raising kids, surrounded by dogs, usually working at my dining room table. I’m not trying to look perfect. I’m trying to create something honest—thoughtfully sourced, fairly priced, rooted in passion and integrity. At its core, The Shelfcare Collection is fueled by joy: the joy of finding the right book, lighting a literary-inspired candle that sets the mood, and sharing those simple, satisfying rituals with others. Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.
