We walked in and were greeted by Jim. Jim was very welcoming and helpful. He made the experience worth it. He explained the steps and allowed us plenty of time to cut our wax and fill our canisters. May I add that what makes this worth the time and money is it's totally customizable! You are able to pick the shape of the candle as well as picking the scent of it (all reasonable prices). We had a fun time hanging with Jim especially after our plans got cancelled. Fun for all ages. If you're looking for a fun activity to do as a couple, or with family and friends, go visit Wax and Wix and make a candle. This shop also has homemade crafts and candles to buy if you are not feeling crafty.

Towels, art, jewelry, pottery, stuff for kids, stuff for plant lovers, stuff for cat lovers, dog lovers, you name it, if you can't find something to buy in this shop for yourself or someone else, I'd be shocked. On top of that, the back porch has a WONDERFUL view of the town waterfall. The porch is screened in, but it won't trouble your photos any.

My eye was more drawn to the Historical Marker in front and then I had to stop and check inside…read more The marker reads, "Old Stone Shop. Built in 1848, by Batcheller & Sons, makers of pitchforks. For many years after 1808, farm implements were manufactured here. Lyman Batcheller & his sons bought the forge in 1835, and their forks became famous throughout the U.S. and Europe. In 1902 they merged with the firm making True Temper products, which re-built the Inn." The marker was erected in 1949 by the Vermont Historic Sites Commission. Inside, not just farm implements but jewelry and toys and furniture and cutting boards and glassware and pottery. It's just amazing to see all of this stuff that is, well, hand made in Vermont.
