I used to buy Kate's candles at a local shop, but now I can't find them anywhere. Can you please tell me where I can find/purchase these candles?
This has got to be the MOST frequently asked question! I receive at least one e-mail every day asking me this question. I've always directed folks to contact the company directly, but have never been told what they were told. I contacted the company myself and asked why so many people were having trouble finding their candles. This is their reply: "Thank you for your inquiry. The Kates brand is being reduced in SKUs. It will not be expanded or developed further at this time." So that's that.

Where can I find "Original Recipe" jar candles?
This is probably the most frequently asked question of them all! I finally got the answer today to end all of our confusion with Mrs. Baker's, Kate's Original Recipe and the "Original Recipe". A very nice lady, Judy, at Blyth Homescents explained it to me. First there was the original "Original Recipe", then they made the Mrs. Baker's Original Recipe. The company decided to revamp and modernize the line, so Mrs. Baker's granddaughter "Kate" took over, which produced the Kate's Original Recipe. Those candles are now just known as "Kate's" (they dropped the "Original Recipe"). However, if you look at the question above, they are reducing the Kate's line in SKUs. From what I've heard (from my site's visitor's feedback) the Kate's candles are not as good as Mrs. Bakers. My suggestion, find a new favorite brand because these are too hard to find and don't measure up to the previous versions of the line.
