The Shabby Wick celebrated its grand opening in October. The Shabby Wick offers artisan gifts, jewelry, candles and bouquets from a variety of small-business owners and artists. Owner Nikki Lourens began the store as an online business in 2016 for her candles and gradually grew into selling at pop-up markets before finally opening a storefront. The Shabby Wick offers candle-making workshops led by Lourens and will soon offer other workshops from local businesses and artists.
