Tucked away in the small town of Davisburg is a
candlefactory with a whole lot of tradition. The
Davisburg Candle Factory offers custom made, hand-decorated candles that have been made in the same factory the same way since 1960. Tapers are dipped in a unique automated line that is made up of old roller skate wheels, bike chains, wheels and rims. This is my go to place when it comes to gifts. I always have some on hand for emergency purposes, and love to give them at Christmas. Or birthdays. Since the candles are each created by hand they all have a unique aspect to them.

CUTE!!! This kind of reminds me of summer camp because we used to make candles like that and it was so fun!I really love those blue ones- they would spice up a monochromatic room.I love, love, love little places like this. It's so neat to find such whimsy in little shops.
