I was given a box of these & now need to get more & no-one has them around here. Am I able to order these from you or am I going to be sad forever!

I would have spent WAY too much money here. The candles smell wonderful, come in a wide variety of scents, and are available in a breadth of sizes - as a matter of fact, their website states "We have 80 different wonderful fragrances we use to scent our handcrafted jar candles, pillars and votives." You can tell that the people here take pride in the craftmanship behind their candles, and they also offer various pottery selections - specifically, a wide variety of mugs, bowls, vases as well as candles trays - in the store. The staff is very welcoming as well - happy to answer any questions you have about what's available in the store. I just wish they shipped their wonderful candles!

As an avid candle lover, this place was heaven on earth! They offer an unbelievable amount of…read morescents and sizes. There's a scent for every season and taste. I was overwhelmed with the options. I ended up purchasing a large jar candle which was $30 and burns for 145 hours. The size just below this one was $28 and burns for 95 hours. The scent I decided on was a mango sangria of sorts. I forgot the exact title. It's also new so it's not on their website. But the website does have a complied list of all their scents! And they offer shipping! I also bought several of their little small candles that burn for 10 hours. Because I bought 6 of them, I got a free glass container! Ive burned my mango sangria candle and LOVE it! You've really gotta keep the wick trimmed because it burns super bright and big! But it burns evenly and after a few hours it doesn't even look like it's been burned. I can already tell I'll get my monies worth.

VIKING CANDLES! I…read morereally enjoyed meeting and talking with Kellie at a recent festival where she was showing her candles. Her candles are hand-poured, made from soy and have wicks that are made from organic cotton or wood. They come in various sizes and can burn from 20 hours to 100 hours depending on size. They actually smell wonderful! ***Several years ago I purchased candles that matched the decor in several rooms in my home. I decided that these candles would be for display only and would not be lit. My family thought this was hilarious and actually razzed me about it endlessly. However, it was the greatest decision I could have made because the specific size I need is no longer being manufactured because they are now either too short or too narrow and will not fit in my holders. The moral of the story is this: If you find candles that are the perfect size and color, you will want to get them and preserve them because once they are gone, they are often no longer manufactured and that's a problem. When I find a scented candle that I really love, I purchase the large jar with a cover so that it can be kept clean and because I like using the top to snuff out the candle. If you actually blow the candle, you get that burnt smoky smell that taints that wonderful candle scent. If you love quality candles, with wonderful scents check out the Viking collection!
