Refillable candles - genius. Buy it, burn it, return it for a $10 refill. Cheap, sustainable, incredible. Grab some coffee or chocolate while you're in, only the best here.

My husband and I stopped by and loved it so much we went back a week later. We loved the store and enjoyed visiting with the owner. Will stop again!
