Not for me. Candle wise I can't give it away, bath stuff wise like salts and scrubs it sells crazy.

I don't know what they told you but I've never heard such a thing about them. I suggest you to go somewhere else possibly to find wax, EAC is really expensive wax wise, along with their FO's. I only had luck with 2 of their FO's working and I ended up droping them because they didn't sell. NG, ships really fast I usually get my stuff usually 2-3 days later depending when I order it. Shipping is cheap. Their in Ohio. Candles and Supplies is in PA they have wax and it's decent priced. They also have a nice list of FO's some are hit and miss. Backwoods is in PA, wax is decent priced and their FO's are good. Shipping not bad at all just like NG. There are alot of other places that aren't around PA that have great FO's it just takes longer to ship. Like for instance Suppliers in Texas, it takes 5 days for me to get my supplies. So I tend not to order from them in case I would run out of something. Wax wise I don't know I use soy, but I have tested Joy wax from NG and 6006 wax. Both were really nice waxes.

Could you post their site, I tried to look them up but didn't come up with anything. Thank you

The past 3 shows I did just that and sold almost all of them but had a few requests for containers but talked them into a warmer and melts.

Red Currant is strong in 415 wax I mix it with Vanilla

I never thought to make one for my dad, that's a neat idea. Maybe next year because we already bought one.

My thoughts would be a ritzy foo foo type, maybe like a wine scent like Strawberry and Champagne , White Zinfindel or maybe a high end scent dupe.

NG's Sugar cookie works in my 415 wax. Have been using it for almost 4 years now.

I like that one.

This is coming from a mother of boys but I do have teenage neices. You should name it " Whatever" cause that's their favorite word, lol. Peace Out Twinkle Toes Maybe something with Sheek on the end of it. Queenie, that's what my friend calls her daughter Frilly Foo Foo Girlicious Sorry, I'm not at all creative. Mindy

I think the Camo is a little to much, but other than that it's a great idea and I might have to get some. I'm wondering what they'll come up with next?

It's been business lately, but after Christmas I'll get to play again. I have a list of things I want to do, and it's my goal to perfect each one before the next Holiday Season.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Ok, I would like to make my Grubby Tapers that are used for Decorating not Grubbier but Grungy I guess. If you know what I'm trying to say, How would I do that?

They look good enough to eat, good job!

I'm doing the same ones I did last year and sales are low this year. I have1 big one on Novemeber 9th and I hope I at least make the same amount or more like I did last year. Then I have small community craft fairs comming up that I hope do well they are every weekend till the middle of December.

Like the other poster, I don't see it as selling myself I see it as selling my product. I really don't say much unless they look indecisive and I ask what type of scents do they like. Once they tell me I pick up quite a few and hand the tarts to them to sniff. I love when they ask what my favorite is, I always pick the one that isn't selling well. It never fails I end up having to make more of that scent because the customers end up loving it. Just make sure your display is neat, prices are noticable, look busy, answer questions and sell your candles. A few places to look for shows are churches, fire halls, and community centers. Also if you have to go to the next town to go to a show definitly try it.

Since, I cut back on buying FO's constantly, cut my scent list back drastically, and highered my prices. Yes, I'm finally seeing a small profit

Congrats, I'll call you tomorrow.

I had a church craft show today and I only made $63 (that's not including the warmers), but I only had melts with me and warmers. I probably would of made more If I would of made jar candles. Last year nobody wanted them but this year I had people ask for them. And I spent $48 there, lol. There was this lady who made fall/halloween shirts they were soooo cute, that I couldn't pass them up. So I bought one each for my boys and one for me to wear to the corn maze thing next weekend. They have a scarecrow face on them, they are adorable. And I bought a hand made bear it's nice for the boys to share. It cost $20. My oldest was with me and wouldn't stop hounding me for it. That was a first for me, I've never spent more than $10 on a stuffed animal. I also got the cat (Shawn aka Meow Meow) something to, I traded a lady 10 tarts for a cat house with toys on it, HE LOVES IT. I think I got the better deal on that though. Hopefully next week will be better. Mindy

CS Cranberry Marmalade, Can't make enough of it.

Those are all great names, Thanks a bunch :highfive:

I didn't know where to put this thread, but I'm trying to come up with some names for my candles that are country/primitiveish. I'm having a major brain fart and can't come up with any other than Hearth. I have a show this Saturday and I want to come up with at least 25 different names. I'll be taking Fall Scents like Sugar Cookie, Apple Crisp, Cornucopia, Cinnamon Roll, Harvest , etc.... Any help would be much appreciated, Mindy

SOS has one, I tried it last year. I personally didn't like it so I didn't carry it but I did have a few testers that fell in love with it.
