    High Country Candles is a lovely little store along the Main Street of Blowing Rock, and if it…read morehadn't been for my concern about how I'd pack an armload of candles into my carry-on luggage to fly back home? 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.

    Cute little shop. There is a lot more than soap and candles! We stopped in to bring some soap back…read morehome with us on our way out. A lot of soaps, lotions, bath bombs and of course candles! They have honey, ice cream, taffy and a lot more! I left with some goodies- soaps and lotions.

    My husband's aunt recommended we visit while we were in Roan Mountain so we had to stop by with all…read morethe kids. Unfortunately we didn't know when candle making classes were but the owners were able to do a special class for us since we had 6 girls hoping to make candles. They told them about the history of Banner Ell which I found interesting (the kids didn't remember all of it) and some of the names of the scents. All of the ingredients (soy based wax and scents) were all natural and didn't bother my allergies or nose so that was a huge bonus. All the girls had fun, my youngest was SO excited they had an elephant vessel she could use to make a candle! We would definitely recommend stopping by to visit when you're in the area. Everyone was super nice and all the girls from ages 7-17 had fun! (Adults could also join in if they wanted of course, but we sat back and let the girls do it this time, FYI the prices seemed to range from $38-45 per person for the candles they made which included the class.) You do have to wait 2-3 hours for them to cool and set before you can take them home. I think the regular classes are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 11am so you can sign up (call or sign up online I believe), come make your candles and then go grab a leisurely lunch or go shopping and come back to pick them up. We can't wait to burn our candles!

    If you are a candle lover, you need to check this place out. Homemade candles all designed in this…read morelittle shop. Walked in, and thought.. wow! This place is very nostalgic. It reminded me of my childhood. I used to see sculpt candles everywhere. So anything you can think of, they have! Animals, plants, Christmas, food, dolls, and more! I was excited to see that they also make soy scented candles. I purchased the French vanilla (because it's my Mr.'s fave scent) and Crème Brûlée. I also bought a black bear candle for my friend. If you are using credit card, there is a $5.00 Minimum. I didn't see any signs if they offered classes. I really enjoyed looking around! It's worth checking them out! Pricing is definitely reasonable.

    One star. The elderly lady there was not very friendly. We intended buying several candles, but her…read moreharsh response to my kid just simply touching a candle angered me. I was there supervising my kid while this took place, and this woman could have taken a nicer approach, and we would have understood. As a result, we opted to not buy anything. I might add, we weren't even welcomed by this lady when we arrived, despite bumping into her coming into an empty store. My wife immediately noticed, how this lady watched us like a hawk just because we had two young girls - appears this "lady" doesn't like children very much. Don't go there if you have children, you won't be welcomed.
