A Creative Candles Factory Tour
You know that show on the Science Channel called How It’s Made? I’m kind of obsessed. I just think it’s fascinating to learn how so many of the things we take for granted—from Q-tips to couscous—are actually made. Candles are another one. We’ve all bought the cheap kind, and paid for it in the process, whether with smoke marks on the ceiling or a tablecloth full of wax. Well, smack dab in the middle of the country, in Kansas City, Missouri, there’s a group of artisans still making candles the old-fashioned way. They’re called Creative Candles, and as a magazine editor, I’ve been using them for years. Everything about their candles—the craftsmanship, the attention to detail, and especially the colors—are fantastic!-Eddie Ross
