Get a broad blade putty knife that is real stiff......that will cut through your wax just fine by pressing it down into the slab.

I'm not Tess, but she has to go in herself to have them post. The reviews go to her in box, then she does it...so it won't show up immediately! HTH

Thanks Trish

Hey there Tess!

I left 2 review's yesterday and they still have not posted to the site.....is the posting supposed to be immediate? or does it take awhile.

Jeff

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post..

But I was wondering what kind of info the ask for when I call them about getting sample jars?

Jeanna

When I called then to speak with Paula, I wasn't able to get ahold of her so they took address and what jars I wanted as a sample and they sent them to me.

Jeff

Hi.. I just heard about the jar store.. do they have a minimum order??? I would like to find a better place to get jars..

thanks

daisyfairy

As far as I know they don't......but you do have to buy a case minimum

I use those jars...love 'em! I fill a bit below the neck, maybe 1/4" or a bit more. Do my repour and it's good to go!

I appreciate the help! I am looking forward to testing all 3 sizes.

Jeff

Hello all!

I just recieved my sample Honey Pot Jars from the Jar Store Woooohoooo!!!

My Question is, how far up do you fill it with wax? Do you go up to the transition?

Jeff

and I am doing the happy dance....can't wait to burn some of these babies!!! I am having a tough time deciding which one to start with....I'm letting a few air out as the peppermint overpowered everything in the box!!!

Some cute packaging too!

I got mine today as well!!!!!!!!

Great Job evrey one.....Can't wait to start burning these.

Hi,

I am finally getting close to where I would like to try making votives. I figure by January or soon thereafter I can start. I have been testing and trying to master container candles since last September and I am ready to move on to trying something new. I mean things can always be better with the containers, but at least I have a decent container candle to offer. I would sure hope so after all that time, money and testing I did. santa roll santa wink

I would like to start off with the easiest of the votive soy wax. Which one is your favorite? I am sure that some are pickier than others. Do most of you here that use soy use soy for your votives too? Most likely you would, but I do also offer some paraffin blend candles so it would not be out of place to offer a paraffin votive. I don't think anyway. I would like one that gives a strong throw. If the soy votive wax gives as good of a scent throw as my Calsoy CB-3 than I would prefer to stick with soy. Look forward to your thoughts. Thanks!

Hi Holly,

I use Calwax CB 10 which is a parrafin/soy blend. I love it and it has a great cold/hot throw.

Well as we are Just starting out at the tail end of the year, It will be easy for us to list our resolutions......

1) Launch Web Site

2) Gain some wholesale accounts

3) Do more Craft Shows

4) Introduce Container Candles to our Product Line

5) Continue with R&D

Jeff

This year, we have sold more 3x4's than we had in the past couple of years. I haven't made many 3x6's so on my price sheet I say that they could order. I think we are selling more this year due to our changing of wax's.

HTH

Jeff

Wow, I think some of these are really good!

I agree! I thank everyone for their thoughts and suggestions! I am going to mull it over and decide what we need to do. Gotta get it decided upon soon as our website will be up fairly soon.

Jeff

I am super critical of things like this because of my background in communications and printing industries, so my opinion may not be the same as everyone else's.

I think I understand the concept you're going for, but I think it's not hitting the mark because of the choice of words--more particularly, the word "flutter." Unfortunately, I don't have any fantastic options for you.

When I associate the word flutter with candles, I think of flickering or sputtering flames, and a scent that is weak, or uneven throughout the candle.

I tried to come up with any connection to butterfly and found this site of butterfly quotes and poetry, and thought perhaps it would help you or someone else come up with something appropriate.

ttp://www.rosebriar.uk.com/garden/butterfly.html

After reading some of the poems, I thought of the word "flow" instead of flutter.

Chrysalis Candles...Scents that flow with wonder and beauty

or

Chrysalis Candles...Scented with wonder and beauty.

I am sure glad I posted this to the board for review....

Sock, I really like those two options you threw out there. They really fit the elegance that we want to convey to our customers.

I am thinking about adding tarts to my candle line, but I would like to be able to offer a tart warmer/burner for my customers to have when they buy them. Does anyone know where I can get some at a great wholesale price? I am thinking of going with the tealight kind instead of the electric.

Thanks!

We are getting ours from http://www.jackelus.com/index.html

In my opinion, they have a much nicer selection and definately cheaper than Levine

Perhaps fragrances that flutter through your home

I Like That Scented.....

Hello all!

Attached you will see our logo and we wanted to have a slogan underneath our name. What do you all think of " Let Our Fragrances Flutter Throughout Your Home" ?

Jeff

Hello all!

I was wondering where is the best place to buy the clamshell tart mold's at the best price?

TIA

Jeff

Anyone know where I can buy lots of tart burners online for the cheapest?

Christina

I am getting ready to place an order with http://www.jackelus.com/index.html

Well we have a show to do tomorrow, so we are going to go set up here in a few hrs. I just got my order today from Peaks! Woooooohooooooo cna't wait to get those FO's poured starting on Sunday as well as watch the Nascar race.

I am looking for a good scale for measuring scent.

The one I am using now is very hard to read.

I know I need a digital...any suggestions where you all got yours?

I got a digital scale from walmart. I believe it's a food scale and comes with a plastic tray perfect for measing out wax as well.

I've been making some major changes to my website and would like the opinions of anyone with a 15 inch monitor. Can you view the entire page or do you have to scroll side to side?

www.ebcandles.com

Thanks so much for helping out!

Carmen

I am able to see it all...no Scrolling!!!!!!!

what wax does everyone use for tarts and votives? do you/can you use the same wax? time to take a break from containers and try something else

I use Calwax CB10. It has a great cold/hot throw/

Jeff

Congrats on your show. Display looks nice. Is the floor shelf unit from Big Lots? Saw something similar there and was wondering how it would work. Like the way you have grouped your products.

Actually it's a folding bookshelf that we had bought from Target.

Ok here is some more display photo's

This was our 3rd year (my second) of doing this show at one of our local High Schools. Our First year we did ok, probably about 3 times our booth fee. And this year was about the same as last, 6.8 times our booth fee. It started out rather slow and we were getting a bit worried, but then we were flooded for a bit, so it all worked out in the wash. We did get invited to a two day show next weekend, but I think we are going to pass it up as I wont have enough time to replenish what was sold yesterday as well as get ready for a show the weekend after Thanksgiving. It's funny how things change from year to year as to what will sell and what won't. I sold alot more pillars then I did the previous 2 years. Had one lady buy 10 so I gave her a price break on her purchase. Here are some pictures of our setup.

Would love to hear any suggestions on how to make it better or comments in General. I am hoping that we will have Container Candles in our product line soon.

Jeff
