    I know what you mean. Always hard to wait especially if it smells good from day one. Sometimes I just want to come here and scream "I can't wait!!!" What is BBW? Goldie

    Wow! You are very talented! Goldie

    Beautiful. I wouldn't want to burn them. Goldie

    I thought of that (shorter wick) but was concerned about the jar getting too hot. Second option is interesting. lol Goldie

    Office Max/Depot and Staples will send you some pretty good coupons. I have one right now for $30 off an order of $60 or more from Staples. The coupon card comes in the mail, not as an email. Goldie

    You are using a Canon Pixma, correct? Mine is MG6220, probably not available anymore. Goldie

    Two weeks cure time is up and I am LOVING my Iced Lemon Biscotti candle (Fillmore). I kept thinking my husband was baking something. Duh! lol Can't wait to see how it burns to the bottom, and I can pour for spring sale. Using 464, pint canning jar, with 790 Premier wick. Goldie

    I love my Pixma printer. HP is suppose to have less expensive ink, although it shouldn't make that big of a difference in the quality! I think there must have been something wrong with that printer that printed the photo on the right. Hope all works out great! Goldie

    Has anyone tried Rustic's peppermint patty? They are discontinuing it so I guess it has not been a good seller, but I have someone asking about a chocolate mint candle. Goldie

    I go through the same thing with most of the candle supply companies, but I just keep adding more oils as the shipping doesn't go up exponentially. That is if it is a company that has a number of oils that are great sellers for me. It still comes down to the bottom line like you say. What I don't understand is why a company that is 200 miles from me costs more to ship than one that is 1100 miles away. Also, wax from one company is $48 but $35 shipping. Another company, $53 but $21 shipping.

    I wonder how many candles a person would have to sell to get that. lol Goldie

    LOVE! So creative and fun! Goldie

    Any idea what the size is? Goldie

    I am definitely in the minority, but I can't stand the smell out of the bottle or in a candle. I tried it in 464. Then again, I don't do florals. Goldie
  16. GoldieMN
    That sounds so cool! Something else to try. Goldie

    You know talking about burning a votive without a holder reminds me of the first time I bought a votive. I was in my 30's! Anyway, I put it on a plate to burn and was terribly upset that the entire votive melted in a short period of time. Goldie=dumb blonde. Goldie

    The shop use to get the flowerpot votives from McCall's Candle Co.; but now they only sell them on a "make to order" and with a large quantity order for each scent. They retailed for $3.95. Plus the glass votive was $1.95. So I can sell the votive holder with the candle for under $6 and make a good profit. Maybe if there is enough of a demand, I can try the votives without the glass in the future. Thanks! Goldie
  19. GoldieMN
    Well it will probably be best for me to just use my 464 and sell the votive in the glass container. Less putzing around. I'll have to check to see if I have any sample htp wicks and get started testing. Goldie
  20. GoldieMN
    They are burned in a glass votive holder like the one pictured in my first post. They are probably 3 1/2" tall. Yes, would melt all over the plate as they don't burn down the middle like a pillar. Goldie
  21. GoldieMN
    Do you coat the inside of the glass with something to make it easy to release the votive? Or do they just pop out with a little tapping? Goldie
  22. GoldieMN
    Trappeur, those are gorgeous! Really gorgeous! The owner of the shop did mention frosted glass when I told her what the soy would do (wet spots). And, I have PB Pillar Blend & CB Xcel on hand for tarts. Now for wicks. . . I have a good selection of Premiers for testing. Any suggestions on where to start would be appreciated. Goldie

    I have a shop in town looking for these flowerpot-shaped votives. All I have ever found are flowerpot silicon molds which cost approximately $9 each and make one votive. Is there a way to pour them in the glass votive holder and then pop them out? My other alternative is to pour and sell them as is--in the glass holder--I guess. Goldie

    Are you using this link? I'm not ordering, but I can get into the website. http://www.tennesseecandlesoapsupplies.com/ Goldie

    This is a half-pint canning jar that I want to start selling but am concerned with the amount of wax remaining after the wick is down to the metal clip. I'm thinking customers would feel they aren't getting their money's worth since it looks like 1/5 of the jar has to be thrown. My warning label says "discontinue use when 1/2". . .remains" which is about what this is. In a pint jar, 1/2" doesn't look as bad as in this little guy. Is this how yours look? If so, you get negative feedback from customers? Goldie
