Poppy & Thyme, a boutique in the heart of Menomonee Falls Downtown, will soon launch "Make and Take Candle Bar."

The Make and Take Candle Bar provides everything needed to make personalized home and body products such as scented candles, wax melts, perfumes, nail polish and soaps. This dedicated area is designed to spark individual creativity and foster group activities, making it a fun spot for private events, birthday parties and educational workshops.

"Our new Make and Take Candle Bar offers a unique opportunity for customers to immerse themselves in a creative and interactive environment," says Layla Obregon, founder and owner of Poppy & Thyme. "It's a wonderful way to explore personal expression through scent and color."

Visitors to the candle bar can choose from a wide array of fragrances and colors, mix their chosen scents with wax and pour the blend into a container of their choice. While waiting for their creations to set, guests can explore Poppy & Thyme's offerings, including bath bombs, natural soaps, self-care products, pre-made candles and jewelry.

"The Make and Take Candle Bar exemplifies Poppy & Thyme's dedication to community engagement and creativity, providing a unique and enriching experience for people of all ages," says Obregon.
