  1. Thanks!  I did call and talk to them this morning and they said they have there wax blended just for them, so the chances of it being the same are pretty low.  BUT they were so super friendly and the reviews on the website for the wax are all really good so I am going to place an order to do a pickup and hope it works well!  Taking a leap of faith here, but I think it will work out well!  Thanks!

  2. so I have been using the KY blend from Rustic Escentuals, but the shipping is killing me!!!!  I am heading on vacation at the end of the week to Northern Alabama and Flaming Candle is only about 90 minutes away.  I have read a few things that these are the same wax, but wanted some opinions...has anyone tried both and can say they are the same or nearly identical?  I would order some and test it, but we leave Friday, so I won't have time before we leave.  IF its the same I will be buying 6-8 cases of wax, so wanted to ask the pros what your thoughts are?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  

  3. Ok so maybe someone here can help.... I have purchased these muslin bags, and stamped them with fabric stamp then sealed it with Krylon Low odor clear finish in Matte.  While they turned out great, I went to pull them out of the tote at my last show and the ink is running.  I have them filled with the corn cob sachet filling but it is dry when I fill my bags....any other suggestions on how to "seal" the ink so it won't run when exposed to the filling that scented? 

    I tried to "heat set" them and that didn't work either....

     

    Not sure if there is some kind of "iron on" product out there that would allow me to seal it from the oil but still let a scent thru?!?!?!?!  ANY help at all would be GREAT!!!  Ready to pull my hair out and I KNOW there has to be a way to do this...just can't get my slow mind to figure it out!  lol

     

    These sat for appox 1 month before my show in a closed container......

  4. Not sure, but I ordered some to check it out.. I have been using a Rebatch base from  RE/AH for testing the last few months and the opinions seem to be fairly good!!  I have added lots of different oils/EO's/other additives, and it seems to work really well. Not sure if this is the same rebatch base, but I ordered it to try it out...:)  The one from RE/AH is a stephensons base......

  5. Welcome!!  I too started a little over a year ago, and the obsession continues to grow...lol.  Many hours are spent researching info but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! My daughter is 11 and we are doing this together and it is amazing to have someone to bounce ideas off of:)  Hoping someday she will take over this company that I started!  I am sure your daughter will grow up the same way, wanting to be mom's sidekick!  The candle looks awesome and congrats on the farmer's market gig!  Good luck!!

  7. lol I JUST had the same experience about a week ago with a "friend" on facebook. She wanted to know where she could have a container refilled because the candle was gone but she really liked the container. Of course the replys were hobby lobby and michaels and just do it yourself. Well I have been researching this for almost a year, and STILL haven't given any candles away for others to test, so I replied to PLEASE be careful as a fire could happen quickly ( along with how much testing and research needs to be done before pouring a candle)...long story short, she deleted my comment, and everytime my husband's fire pager alarms, (he's a fireman), I think of her, and if she tried to make her own cheap candle..:) Sometimes, you just can't fix stupid!
