Happened to find this store by accident. I think the actual name of this store is Maker & Muse as that is what's on the receipt and store front. That said...
Great store with jewelry and gift items. I always like to support local businesses because too many businesses are closing down. I fault that big online store with the letter A. Loved all the gift items, candles, lotions. I didn't need any gift items at the moment, but I could always use lotion and candles! After smelling a few lotions and candles, I purchased a lotion and a soy coconut wax candle with a beautiful scent of sandlewood, Palo Santo & Leather Hay. The make: POURED New York and the name of the candle is Palomino. I would have liked to give 5 stars as the ladies were pleasant and helpful with the lotion and they had a few beautiful items that would make great gifts. However, when I came home and burned the candle, it took an hour before I got a hint of scent. It was in my bedroom so after a half hour, I partially closed the door to see if I can then smell the scent. Couldn't close it all the way due to safety reasons. The smell was very subtle after an hour. Today I'm burning it in the living room and it's been an hour and I don't smell a scent. I'll burn for two more and see what happens. I spent $40 on this candle and I'm disappointed. I usually purchase candles from Yankee Candle and White Barn (Bath & Body's line) and after about 10-15 minutes you can smell it. Not this one.
I would return to this store to purchase gifts when I'm in the area again, but would pass on the candles. read more
