It's actually a bit overwhelming to be surrounded by so many many candles, all different shapes, varieties, types, etc. A word of caution: this store is not for those who are sensitive to scent--virtually all candles have some sort of scent. This is located in a charming old world feeling alley, named " ... Arcade." Many price points, would make a terrific gift, which is exactly what I did when I got something for my sister in law.

The amazing scents plow you, of course, as you walk in the door, and the shop owner does helpfully point out the little bowls of coffee beans scattered about to help relieve the scent saturations so you can appreciate each candle. Candles in one hand and coffee in the other, and you are armed for shopping! Like many shops, they also featured Halloween displays in late September and no doubt continue this trend for all holidays, so you'll never see the same store twice! All types of candles as well - votives, tapers, standard block candles for arrangements, and many types of holders. Scented, unscented, glittery, melty, round, hexagonal - if you can dream it up, they probably have it here.

Lavender Vanilla incense. Not overwhelming, very balance and perfect for a nice bath. Bonus: Don't forget to grab the fresh linen room spray. That clean house smell never fails! All in all, Locally Lit by Johnny Wicks, is my new candle go-to candle spot and I love supporting small businesses.

The owner of the shop is very kind and welcoming!!! She was super helpful and didn't even be an eye when I asked if I could bring my 6yr old daughter and a few friends to come accessorize candles. There are over 32 different scents & all candles are soy based. Candles range in price from $10-$20 depending on size scents and of course accessories! In addition to the candle bar the store offers already premade candles or various other small gifts. Oh, and did I mention they will give wrap.

Bonnie and everything she makes (!! On site!!) are so darn cool and magical. Her shop is tucked away in a little nook between downtown Carmel and a residential neighborhood, so it might be easy to miss. Absolutely walkable from anywhere you park, of course, and 100% worth the visit even if you don't buy anything! I wish I asked more about the teas and remedies she makes, but she has so many of them targeting any ailment a human could possibly have. I was more interested in her candles (my guilty hoarding pleasure) because I love crystals and their meanings. Her smaller ones in the gold vessels are $52 and larger ones in locally made pottery are at least $150 I believe. Everything she offers is on her website except her beautiful candles since they sell so fast! My friend had her eyes on a pink quartz candle, but I said we can come back right before it closes if she's still thinking about it then. Of course we went back, and she actually fell in love with a different candle! ...and I did too. I first saw one with dominos that looked cool, but when we came back I saw one with a lapis egg. Bonnie had just made it that afternoon and set them on the display. We both LOVE the joy and peace our candles bring us :) Truly straight out of a fairy tale, the tiny spell shop by the sea!

This store is clean, organize and the new manager Albie is freaking fantastic. He came from Victoria's Secret and I am so glad he got out of there and got into Sephora so I can see him again. I love this location the Salinas branch at Kohl's does not have the variety and brands I need and even if they did, I really like the customer service of the Del Monte shopping center staff I will always be back. I have been coming here for so many years I can't even count and everybody is always so sweet and friendly, but Susie is the epicenter of friendliness. I really hope corporate or management sees this to give them both a pat on the back and definitely tell Susie that people care enough to take time out of their day to find alternate ways to tell people how amazing she is.

The store was busy and she was busy but she still asked me if I needed some help. I asked to be color matched and she told me to give her a few minutes.
