I've tried several places in the area (there are quite a few around), but I always come back to this one. I love gem mining (yes, it's fun for adults without kids, too). I've been to this place several times now. I cannot say enough good things about this place and I can't wait to come back! Highly recommend everyone drop by and take a candlemaking class, you will not be let down! And since it started to downpour and I was in no hurry to leave in the heavy rain, she allowed me to observe her making soap, something I've always been so curious about, and I now know more about soapmaking than I ever thought I would! It felt like spending the afternoon with a close friend, she made it feel like a home away from home. Charlotte was BEYOND helpful and inviting and shared so much more about candle-making and was kind enough to let me pour a candle even though it was not a class-day - simply because it was my birthday!! We had a delightful time laughing and joking, chit-chatting and sharing life stories. Even scents that guarantee a headache for me did not! I was floored!! They have a wide selection of all kinds of gentle scents, from floral, to musk, to sweet, you name it! I got six candles because I simply loved them all, whereas most places I only find maybe one or two I enjoy. I am a big fan of local, handmade candles and soaps and this place was close by and one of the few open on a Sunday, so I decided drop in and I am SO glad I did!! To say that my experience was the highlight of my day is an understatement! Upon walking into the charming cabin with a gorgeous waterwheel outside, I was enamored with the selection and felt like a kid in a candy store! I am quite sensitive to scents and never in my life have I been able to smell and enjoy /every/ candle without getting a headache.
It was my birthday, and in keeping with my desire to have a relaxing, easy-going birthday, I knew I wanted to find a local artisanal shop of some sort nearby to explore. experience one to remember! I never leave reviews but todays experience was beyond special.
Charlotte was a DELIGHT and truly made my Banner Elk Soap & Candle Co.
