That is really, really nice. Good job.

I'm sorry it didn't go that well for you, but if it matters your set up is BEAUTIFUL !!!!

It was called VendorPro. I trashed the email, especially after googling the company. Dawn

Has anyone ever received an email from someone soliciting your products to sell on a nationwide basis. I received an email today from someone who represents some retailers and they were interest in my candles? I have personally never heard of this company. Is this the type of email that you guys would respond to or just trash it. When I checked out the site there is a fee to have my stuff in their network??? I just think that is a little fishy. But, I would really hate so see a legitamate opportunity (sp, sorry long day, apparently forgot how to spell) slip through my hands. TIA Dawn

Thats awesome. Glad you had a "LUCKY" day. Dawn

Actually, same thing happened to me. I just add a little milk and package them in window bags and call them bubbling milk bath. They are just like the bath bombs, just in a powdered form. So far all my tester have LOVED them. Good Luck Dawn

Absolutely love it. It looks really beautiful and inviting inside. Congrats and good luck! Dawn

This is a really good question and I hope that people will respong to it. My opinion is that people are attracted to the container first. I had the pumpkin jars at my last show and people immediately approach the table because of those and then started looking and sniffing everything else. I think that you should have something that is going to pull people to your table and then I think the smell will make them stay. Now saying this, I have had people just glance at my table while walking by and then they would come back and say that there was a smell that drew them back and would try to locate that scent. Good question Dawn

Congrats sounds like you did very well. Absolutely love your display. Can you come teach my husband how to build stuff. Dawn

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

My hubby was the same way, but now we are partners. Try and make him apart of the whole thing. Show him different "creations". Try and include him with testing and stuff like that. I told my husband it was his fault I started doing this anyways because he was the one that told me to get a hobby. Once he saw that people liked my stuff and where wanting to pay for it, his tune changed. Hopefully he will come around. Dawn

Jennifer I would definately get different table cloths. Maybe check out your local Wally world and pick up some king size sheets. That is what I use for my tables. They go all the way to the floor and no one is the wiser, (or they don't say if they are). Dawn

Ditto this. I purchase sheets and thats what I use. You would never know and the go all the way to the floor. Dawn

Very nice set up. Clean, not cluttered. Hope your sales where good. Dawn

OOH Those are really nice. Bet they smell awesome. Dawn

Jes I love that and I bet it smells wonderful Dawn

Carrie that is a great find. Those are really cute. Dawn

Thanks again everyone for the comments. Lori I got the bath salt tubes from WSP. Dawn

Prairieannie, here is a closer picture of the jars. Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

There are warning/care labels on the bottoms of the jars and then a ribbon wrapped around them with my company name and the top of the jar is a small scent label. I absolutely love these jars, but they are hard to label and this was the only way I could come up with and still get everything needed on them. Yeah, I'll remember the risers next time, we'll just see what I forget instead. The last time I forgot the bags. So its always something. I have a checklist and think I have everything ready to load and seem to always forget everthing. I guess thats where the check your list twice thing comes in, huh? :rolleyes2

The loaf pans went over very well. Sold for $6 a loaf. Not bad, came home with 4 of them. The pick a lollipop and save was my husbands idea. We used a marker and colored the tips of the lollipops and put them in the lollipop stand. If the customer made a purchase of $5 or more, they got to pick a lolly and depending on the color they received anywhere from $1-$4 off or I had one lollipop that was not marked and they would get their purchase for free. Of course the majority of the discounts where $1. No one picked the free lolly, but it helped boost sales. I might continue to use this, I thought it was a really good idea.

Yeah I had that planned out, but when I got there I realized I had forgotten them. Oh well maybe next time. Thanks Dawn

Thought I would share pics of my show that I had today. The first is by B&B Table The second is a picture of the whole set up The third is my jar candles (the pumpkins sold out) The fourth is my tarts and warmers And the last picture is of the votives So what do you all think?

Georgia, isn't that an awesome feeling when people say stuff like that. I had a lady ask if that was the company that I worked for. And I told her, well, yeah, its my company. Great feeling. Dawn
