The village’s newest business is Kate’s Candles, which is located at 49 Railroad St. in the former Gift Box location. Kate Burnsworth is the owner.
Although her shop is new, she has been making and selling candles out of her home for about six years. She says because of an accident she could no longer work in her prior career and, “I got bored and decided I needed a hobby.”
Her new shop gives her enough space so she can make the candles there. She uses 100 percent soy wax and makes both scented and unscented candles, “because some people are allergic to scents.”
