Well, it was another semi-disappointing spring show. The weather in MN was beautiful for this time of year. I did ok for the crowd and of course you never have what the customer wants. If I would have had tons of spring and florals I would have been in great shape but no...did I have all of my works in progress...nope! Plus there were 2 other soy candle vendors as well. I would never diss a fellow candle make but this particular vendor was the type to give us all a bad name. During conversations I asked how long she had been doing this and she said 2 years and had made money both years! OK we all know this business can suck your wallet dry in no time. So then I proceeded to ask her about how frustrating the testing process was. She replied .."We tested one wick, jar, and oil and when it worked we made all of the others the same." I just about died. AT least I can sleep at night since I have tested each and every one of my products. Just had to share and sorry so long.
