Sign up for Marc Mail Salem Candles, located in downtown Marietta, displays the work of more than 45 candle makers. The store offers a wide selection of candles in various fragrances, colors and designs, as well as oil lamps, candle holders and aromatherapy products.
Nothing warms the heart like the glow of a candle.
Local candle maker Chuck Sowers has been crafting these beacons of light for more than 30 years. Prior to his store, Sowers sold his hand-crafted candles at art shows and exhibits. The decision to open the shop in downtown Marietta, however, came to Sowers almost exactly two years ago. I told myself that even if I didn't sell a candle, at least I would have moved my studio to another location. The store was a booming success from the day it opened, however.
