What began nearly a decade ago — a simple idea to pour love and light into every jar — became one of our most cherished collections. ✨
When I closed our physical doors, I thought that chapter had ended. But your messages, memories, and love reminded me that some things are meant to keep glowing.

Our candle + apothecary line is back — hand-poured and created to remind you that you are loved, valued, and seen.

Now available online for shipping + local delivery.

After an incredible journey, we've closed our doors with hearts full of gratitude. 🤍

To our beloved Amante family - you've been more than customers, you've been the heart of everything we've built. Every conversation, every shared moment, every piece that found its way into your homes has created connections that will last far beyond these walls.

Wheaton, you embraced us from day one and allowed us to be part of your stories. Thank you for trusting us to curate pieces that mattered, for supporting our vision, and for making this community feel like home.

Though this chapter is ending, the love and memories we've shared will always remain. ✨

With endless gratitude,
Samantha & the Amante team

Today marks the end of a beautiful chapter. 🤍

As we close our doors for the final time, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for every single person who became part of the Amante Marketplace story. From our very first customer to the friends who walked through our doors just yesterday - you made this dream a reality.

What started as a vision to create a space where thoughtfully curated goods could bring joy to your homes became so much more. It became a community. A place where connections were made, stories were shared, and love was felt in every carefully chosen detail.

To our incredible team who poured their hearts into this space, to our amazing vendors and partners who trusted us with their beautiful creations, and to our loyal customers who became family - thank you for making every day at Amante an honor.

For our final day, August 30th, we're offering 75% off everything in store - one day only.

While this chapter closes, the love and intention we've shared will live on in the homes we've touched and the memories we've created together.

Thank you for letting us love and be loved. ✨

With endless gratitude and love,
The Amante Marketplace Family

This is our biggest (and most heartfelt) offer yet 🤍

As we wind down this season, we’re offering 50% off everything in-store and online!

Nearly a decade ago, we started at the French Market with a simple dream: to create a space where thoughtfully curated goods could bring people together and make everyday moments more beautiful. From our humble beginnings to finding our home on Hale Street, every step of this journey has been filled with intention, love, and the incredible support of our community 🤍

As we prepare to close our doors on August 30th, we're overwhelmed with gratitude for every customer who became family, every local maker we've had the honor to support, and every moment of connection that happened within these walls. You've made Amante more than a store – you've made it a gathering place for hearts seeking beauty, quality, and authentic connection.

While this chapter is ending, the love we've shared and the memories we've created will live on forever. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your stories, your celebrations, and your everyday moments of joy.

With endless love and gratitude,
The Amante Family ✨

Since the creation of Amante... ✨

We've had the incredible honor of bringing warmth and light into thousands of homes. 10,000 of our beloved Kurios Blankets have found their way to cozy corners, and 15,000 of our locally made candles have filled spaces with their gentle glow.

These aren't just numbers to us — they represent 25,000 moments of connection, comfort, and intentional living. Every blanket that's wrapped around someone during a quiet evening, every candle that's lit for a special dinner or peaceful bath... these are the stories that make our hearts full 🤍

08/19/2025

August 30th marks a beautiful ending 🤍

Join us for our final day at Amante Marketplace - an open house celebration from 2:00-4:00 PM where every corner holds a memory and every moment matters. At 4:00 PM, we'll raise our glasses together for a special toast to honor this incredible journey and the community that made it all possible.

Thank you for being part of our story. Today, we celebrate not what's ending, but everything beautiful that was created here. ✨
