  1. Good for you to love testing! To me that is the absolute worst thing about this craft. I hate testing, especially when it isn't going well. LOL!

  3. I don't know about Daystar but as for Bittercreek....still no buyer as far as I know. They have a post on their Facebook page.
  4. Thank you for your kind words. It is hard to keep up with the fiber art pieces. I make them and take them to the shows and they get all bought out. I don't get much of a chance to put them on the website.
  5. BC South has been closed for years. They just moved all of South's FOs to North.
  6. I know there are a few of their fragrances that are a staple in my line. I am hoping whoever buys will keep my favorites. I have to say I wasn't really surprised by the news either. There are a lot of things out of stock or discontinued. But I wish him the best of luck in whatever he does.
  7. After over 25 years in business, I have decided to retire and sell Bitter Creek. I will move on having met so many great friends, customers, vendors, and employees over the years and I couldn’t have imagined doing anything else. July 31st will be the last day to place new orders and our last shipping day will be August 2nd. After August 2nd the phones will not be answered and the only email that will be monitored is purchasing@candlesupply.com We will keep you updated of any changes and where you will be able to get our products in the future. Thank you again for 25 years of your trust in us and our products. Sincerely, Rich Hansen President / C.E.O Bitter Creek Candle Supply, Inc.
  8. I just checked TCS and the ingredients are the same! Thank you for letting me know. Such a difference in price too!
  9. I will look into it. Thank you! I know I just about choked when I saw that. I can't remember what I paid for it a couple years ago and I understand materials have increased in price but.......
  10. I have used this in the past and I have few customers asking for room and linen spray again. I just checked out their site and the price is now $90.95 for 7 pounds!!!!! 😲 What the What!?! Is that stuff really that good? Is there anything else comparable for a reasonable price? I tried witch hazel and distilled water but it seemed kind of MEH!
  11. I saw your post and have been making candles and melts for a while for family friends and myself.  But want to sell.  

    I probably need so sme kind of ins for this.  I saw your website and products they are beautiful.

    Do you have any suggestions for ins for me just starting out and selling on a home made website??

     

    thanks so much

      I never tried Ebay.  Etsy was not that great for me.  I have my own website and get a few orders from there.  My biggest money makers are craft shows and I have my products in stores on commission.  I do have one wholesale account.  

       

      I am 68 and also on social security and I know exactly how you feel!  I guess I will be working until I die!  :)

      did u set up your own website?

      How do u advertise it?

      I am thinking more along the lines of melts. I really do not feel comfortable with candles yet.

      I did do my own website using Shopify.  It has a lot of built in tools that help with getting your site noticed.  I don't really advertise.  Somehow people fid me.  I'm not sure how.  

  12. Your system is pretty much the same system I use! LOL
  13. I just got a reply back from Northwoods about Frasier Fir. They had to rename because of the whole trademarked issue. It is now called Christmas Pine. Same exact fragrance just a different name. Whew!!!
