History
Founded by Pat and Mary Muscat in 1992, Anything Used is located in the historic Village of Sparta in a general store built in 1838. Our store features two floors of rooms full of unique home décor items, candle accessories, seasonal items and Sparta Country Candles.

In the early 1990’s, customers were demanding high quality candles at affordable prices. Having difficulty finding these qualities in a candle, we introduced Sparta Country Candles in 1995. After six months of intensive research and humble beginnings – 18 candles a night produced in the family kitchen – Sparta Country Candles now produces hundreds of candles a day.

Unlike other candle companies, we do not sell our candles to other stores but sell only directly to customers, giving them a high quality candle at a fraction of the price. And besides the low price, a Sparta Country candle contains as much as three times more scent than the average candle manufactured.  

Sparta Country Candles is also the first candle company to introduce refills for our 12 oz. jar and three wick candy dish, generating even more savings for our customers.  We are so proud of our product that we will replace any candle that does not meet our customers satisfaction. We hope you are as pleased with our candles as we are making them.
