keen bean Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Full disclosure: apparently I joined way back in 2009, but as I am the severely introverted type I have kept to myself until now and just silently learned from all of you (I'm sorry about that). I first got into soy candle making about 10 years ago when someone introduced me to a company I shall not name that was more into the MLM of it all. I could never bring myself to sign people up- I'm still a terrible marketer- but was instantly hooked on making candles. I have made them off and on, in between raising my daughters and homeschooling. Lately, I have had more interest in selling locally, so here I am, and thought it was only fair that I stop sneaking around and introduce myself. It may be beautiful where I live, but being all the way over here on the Left Coast definitely makes getting supplies more difficult...and expensive. Thank you for all your experience, expertise, and advice! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incendia Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hi keen bean. I won't say welcome cuz you've been here much longer than I have. So, 'Hi!' from another Californian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Welcome fellow Californian! There are quite a few suppliers here on the West Coast (OR & WA included) and a couple have warehouses that are not too far from CA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisS Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi there. You have several suppliers nearby. Google a little bit, and you'll find several on the Left Coast. I can think of at least 5 of them off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keen bean Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 @kandlekrazy You are close! I'm in Paso! Sweet! ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keen bean Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 @KrisS I know of at least a few. Unfortunately, in my experience I don't really save on shipping, so the benefit is only in transit time. I guess that alone is a good thing, though!
