  • As a designer I would either make your logo consistant with your site colors or make your site colors consistant with your logo.
  • Can you make your Contact page a contact form?

That's enough for now.
I agree 100%.

Also - is your site safe? I see no SSL seal or anything letting me know it's safe to shop with you. When someone buys from you and they are checking out, do they have to leave your site to do so? or can they pay via PayPal right on your site? you don't want them leaving, it takes so much to get them there the last thing you want hem to do is leave, even if it's just to pay, many will just leave and not continue checking out. I had this problem some time ago and when I got rid of PayPal and went with another service that was not only better, more liked but they stay on my site to check out and my sales sky rocketed. You should be displaying the number to call and the free shipping add, be proud and let them be seen.

REMEMBER: the easier it is to find things, like information and such the better chances they will buy, even if they have no intention on calling you they just want to see it, it builds trust showing out there right in front in big easy to read letters.

I mean no disrespect but I just don't like the layout, I was looking for the category menu on the left where almost always is and I couldn't find it and instantly I was turned off. My wife and I always shop online and never go in stores, she loves candles so i went and just asked her to come look at your site and said I found this site that sells candles, asked if she was interested in anything, she liked around your home page for about 5 seconds and said "Eww no thanks" and walked away. Sorry my friend, that right there says it all.

Keep at it my friend, you'll get there I'm sure.
