Hello, I’m looking for the contact information for the little candle shop in Victoria by the sea that makes candles using the PEI sand? Thanks

Hi Sarah, 

Unfortunately, I can't find any current information for you on this. The business was called Enchanted Candles and the candles were sold in The Sea Nest in Victoria by the Sea. The candle maker is Ben Smith, who worked with his daughter to create these one-of-a-kind candles. 

I would suggest contacting Tidewater Merchants, also located in Victoria by the Sea. They may know if they are planning on opening again or where you could get your hands on these unique red sand candles! 

I hope this helps!

Valerie
