Pickups and ponytails

What a weekend! Thank you so much to Paintsville for this past weekend! This is always our favorite show of the season! We are incredibly grateful for the amazing community around us and wanted to share a few special shout-outs:

• The Wonderful Ramada Staff: A huge thank you to the team at the Ramada for taking such great care of us during our stay. Having a comfortable, welcoming home base after long days of unpacking and selling made all the difference!

• Our Loyal Returning Customers: To those who came out specifically to find our booth—seeing your faces and hugging your necks completely made our weekend. Your continued support means the world to us.

• Our Amazing New Customers: Welcome to the family! A special shout-out to the newest members who caught us right as we were packing up and asked for "one last purchase" before we headed out. Talk about perfect timing!

We came home with tired feet but very full hearts. We couldn't do this without you. See you all next year!! ✨🛍️

🚨 THE ULTIMATE SCENT MAKEOVER IS LIVE Y'ALL! 🚨

Better late than never, because what a way to make a livin'! We might be sliding in a little after hours, but country royalty waits for no one. We are officially taking our bestselling Sweeter Than Sugar fragrance and renaming the entire collection after the queen of country herself.

Introducing: ✨ THE DOLLY COLLECTION ✨Don't worry—it is the exact same intoxicating fragrance you’ve obsessed over for years, but now wrapped up in a name that truly matches its legendary, sweet-as-pie southern soul.Whether you want to wash with it, wear it, or mist it through your home, we’ve got you covered from head to toe:
🧼 Foaming Hand Soap – For a sweet, airy, and festive lather.✨
Perfume & Body Oil – To carry that bubbly star power with you all day.
Room Spray – To make your whole space smell like a smoky mountain dream.

This gorgeous scent opens up with a playful burst of cotton candy, bright bergamot, and Sicilian orange, melts into a dream of licorice blossom and red fruits, and settles into a warm, cozy base of rich vanilla and woodsy musk.

☀️🦋Keep a lookout for the new bedazzled truck, because any scent named Dolly must have rhinestones!!

I just love it when other small businesses come together and get it done!! The Candlemaker's Store
