I didn't see your post about McKenna's fundraiser until today, so there is more money in your paypal account. A girl going to NYC needs shopping money:D , you can never have enough...hope she has a great trip. Tell her Happy Birthday for me.

You have mail Michelle .

Hi Pam,

Magic of India smelled chocolatey to me too until I put it in wax, Brenda told me to try it in wax. It smells nothing like chocolate once it's in the wax, it smells awesome and it throws really well. I really like it!

I really like them :smiley2: .

You can send your icky candle to me....even your "icky" candles are beautiful!

Those are really pretty....haven't got a clue what to name them.

You did good girl! Looks great!

Those are beautiful! Very classy!

Those are very pretty, couldn't pick a favorite, I like them all.

Love the colors, very pretty!

The company I use is Colonial Tin Works 1-800-433-5054, website www.colonialtin.com , their prices are not on the site. You can call them and give them your tax id and other information or fill out a form on the website to get a catalog. The painted tin warmers were $8.75, the nicer hand punched look warmers were $12.25 the last time I ordered.

I don't have a website, but as far as I know they don't have any restrictions on reselling on the web, give them a call and they'll be able to answer any questions you have.

I need wholesale suppliers of punched metal electric tart burners, and maybe ceramic ones also... definately on the metal ones. I have a supplier now, but to buy wholesale I am not supposed to resale on the web... which sux as I am hoping to be getting a new website in the near future..... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA:)

I am going to meeting right now, will be back in a few hours. I'll post information for you when I get back for the company I buy from.

Add the Hydrovance to some lotion, (it can be added up to 20%) and try it out. Apply the lotion to an arm or a leg in the shower and rinse it off, then compare that arm or leg to feel the difference. Adding Hydrovance is supposed to make a product similar to BBW in shower moisturizer.

Let us all know if you try it and what you think, I am impatiently waiting to get some to try.

Those swirls are awesome Carmen, and I bet that smells heavenly.

Ok, so why does Carmen have a line through her CT name and it says "2 day ban" underneath it??????

Glad you asked that, I was wondering too....I didn't have the nerve to ask.

Maybe someone will tell us. :undecided

Yep, used to happen all the time. Now I order rolls of primed wick in the sizes I need from Candles and Supplies and tab my own. Hope they don't start letting that evil little man run the priming machine.

I need one of those handy dandy tools though, using needle nose pliers is a PITA.

My 15 yr. old is drooling! She thinks those are awesome!

Those swirls are sooooo pretty!

I like the colors! My 15 yr. old loves the cucumber soap from the health food store. Guess I need to go buy a cucumber and try some. Hope I don't lose mine and have to go looking for it..LOL!

Each in their own way were just trying to help you, but it seems that you already know everything.

Do you have liability insurance, I have a feeling you're going to need it.

But now I could go to Walmart and buy an embroidery machine that comes with disney graphics. I'm assuming they don't mind me making personal things with these...I just can't sell them?

(Now I'm not even sure if Disney is the graphics on this machine truly...I just remember seeing Tigger. Is he with Disney?)

You can make personal items with them but you can't sell them.

The machines usually have a disclaimer somewhere in the instructions something like this "The embroidery designs built-in within this embroidery machine are for personal use within the home only, and may not be used for business or industrial use in any way."

I've been told that Disney has a staff that monitors EBay, internet sites and that they also have a staff that visits randomly selected craft fairs, craft malls and flea markets, they carry cease and desist letters with them. If they find a violation they hand the crafter a letter and have them remove the items from their stand.

Every company has a different policy on using their products.

When I used to sell my artwork on EBay I was registered with Vero and had to have a vero about me page. I was just a little shmuck selling some artwork so all mine said was that I owned all copyrights to my work, photos of my work couldn't be downloaded or copied from auctions, blah, blah, blah.

Big companies usually have all their trademark and licensing policies stated in theirs.

Mars (M&M) is pretty liberal with theirs

You could use a little M & M guy embedded in soap as long as you follow their policy.

It would have to be labeled or advertised like this

“Soap handcrafted with M&M’S® licensed figure.”

No Mars trademark can be used as an adjective for a handcrafted product, such as: "M&M'S Soap". That would be a trademark infringement.

And you must have a conspicious disclaimer

This item was handcrafted by the seller with licensed [insert the product used]. The seller is not affiliated with the manufacturer of the licensed product.

Here's a link to Disney's vero page

http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=disneyvero

Disney is very protective of their products, always has been and probably wouldn't allow it. If you really want to use Disney products you might want to contact them personally to find out.

Those policies pertain to the general public, not just ebay. Going to the vero pages is just an easy way to find their policies and most companies have one.

All the CD and HTP wicks that I have ever used bend in the direction of the upside down ^.

hi,

i had a request from a customer to reproduce Victoria Secrets scent called sweet craving from their mood line. have any of you ever seen it out there for us to purchase the oil.

Thanks

Sweet Craving is a scent from their candle line. Check on the Victoria's Secret website under Home Fragrances, I think Sweet Craving is Pink Sugar. A lot of suppliers have Pink Sugar FO but I have no idea if they are a dupe of the Victoria Secret one.

I guess it depends how soft your wax is.

I had some J50 that I had bought to play with and tried adding stearic to use it up in tarts, it released from the molds okay but it was still a bit sticky, it's winter here and my house is a bit on the cool side. They threw really well but from the feel of them, I think they would be a bit mushy in the summer and not real practical. I added 2 tbls. to 8 oz of the wax if I remember right.

All you can do is maybe try a few and see how they work out.

I use 16 oz and 10 oz apothecary jars, glass is a very poor conductor of heat. I get full melt pools and good scent throw, the jars get hot as they burn down but not too hot to pick up. And like I said that is my personal standard. I am sure that tins would get too hot to pick up which is why I choose not to use them.
