The entrance is on the street level but stairs are required to visit the eclectic shop. They do have a webpage you can order from if stairs are an issue for you. I first found Homebody's during a Ladies Night on White as I wouldn't have stumbled onto it on my own as the entrance was in the back. But the unique items in the store were enough to bring me back. Besides the shop, in which you will find candles; stationery; clothing; baby items; items for the home; self care; and much more, they also offer workshops so you can learn some new skills. If you are in Downtown Wake Forest and looking for the perfect gift for someone make sure to stop in Homebody's.

A friend gifted me a workshop at Homebody's. I chose the to paint mountains with Smitten in a…read moreMitten. Everything was set up when we arrived. Four people to a class so everyone got plenty of attention/help as needed. Directions were simple to follow and the laid back vibe to the class really made it not intimidating! Each participant was encouraged to choose colors they wanted not to just follow the example. We plan on coming back for another workshop soon...maybe macramé!!

It is time to update my review after so many years. AR Workshop is still located in the same spot…read morein Wakefield. What has changed is that they now offer even more variety in workshops. They still have all the original workshops but have expanded the options to add candles, blankets, sourdough bread, cookie decorating, canvas to cornhole boards. Some of the classes are for adults and others are for children. It is easy to register on the website. The hard part is selecting your project and design. The staff is friendly and will offer as much help as you need. There is even a gift shop in the front with décor, kits to do projects at home or finished projects if you prefer they make it for you.

I arrived on a rainy Thursday night. The space was very nice and well-lit, creating a warm and…read morewelcoming atmosphere. I enjoyed the candle-making experience with White Street Market. All of the scents were incredible, and I'm especially pleased with the lemongrass and sage blend (I believe that's the scent I chose). There were a plethora of candle scent selections I was just drawn to lemongrass. There was a wide variety on candles on sale for purchase. A great value for last minute gift ideas. Yuki was so pleasant and welcoming, and I truly appreciated her patience as I asked the same questions multiple times. lol Her support made the experience even better, and I'm grateful for her help with my candle. It was a wonderful experience overall! I was hoping for more opportunities to personalize the branding of my candle. Perhaps you could include blank stickers featuring the Candle Shop name with a space for customers to write our name or intention of their creation. I think this would add an extra layer of value and a personal touch for your customers. Just a suggestion!"
