Email said sale ends at 12:00 AM on the 4th.
So it ended at midnight on Labor Day, the 3rd.
I wondered why you were asking about Cinnamon Broom when the sale was over. But they may have another one on Black Friday.
Yes they always have a black Friday sale ,will be here soon enough 😀
I have purchased with 25 to 35 % off in the past as well .

Hi Kat! I've never tried their Fairy Garden but have heard that it's similar to Blonde Moment but wayyy better..... I can't even recall where I heard/seen or read that at. 😬 But is this your take on it also?
HI M , I do not get FG being near the same as BM kwim.
Fairy Garden is a dupe of the scent
Falling in Love by Philosophy ,if you are familiar with this one kwim.
It has beautiful notes of Vanilla,Jasmine ,Lily ,musk & dry down is blackberry . I adore this amazing scent. FG is floral/fruity & I get all fruit with BM to my nose heavy on the raspberry .
I can send you a sample of FG ,I highly recommend this gorgeous scent ,so strong & just gorgeous imo.

Sure! You might as well.... but isn't there something I can send to you?? I have lots! Give me a list of what you don't have that I might have Kat....
Thankyou Kat.
Trappeur
Aww Trapp you don't have to send me anything at all . Lol I would love to try anything from Bittercreek.
I know you speak highly of their oils & if this is the supplier that carries Dreamcatcher ,I would love to try this scent . If not any BC scent will be just A ok with me kwim. I just live the name Dreamcatcher ,sounds so unique .
I am sure I would like most any scent you may choose to send ,if you want 😀

I keep changing my list, then decide not to order at all, then think, what the heck?
I posted a picture of 3 different pumpkin candles on our town's 'chatter' Facebook page, and am getting some feedback and maybe a couple of new customers. Everyone just loves pumpkin candles it seems.
So I added Pumpkin Sugared donut and removed Picnic in the park, which was for next spring/summer anyway. I also 'ditched' Mulled Cider because I already have so many apple scents. I forget what others I took off. I've been at this all weekend.
Here is my list if I don't change it again or delete it.
Chestnuts & Brown Sugar - I love JS C&BS but that's the only scent I would need from there so I'm going to try FB
Lavender Fields - because I am totally out of plain lavender and have liked other suppliers' sample of Lavender Fields as much as I can like any lavender
Spiced Apples & Peaches - because customers love this one
Vanilla Bean Noel - need to restock and I might as well try FB. Right now I have Flaming's which is good
Salted Caramel - another good seller
Fairy Garden - because @katmeltswax loves it so and I like the name
Pumpkin Sugared Donut - because you can never have too many pumpkin varieties. And it had high ratings.
That's a great list Gail ,don't forget Sea Witch lol if your getting low on this one . I do highly recommend Fairy Garden ,so strong & a very unique floral fruity scent .
It was a Moon works scent ,just wonderful kwim .

I don't use prepaids so not sure. I use a business credit card for my inventory and material purchases.
And, by the way.. Aztec was one of the ones I had issue with as well. Which is a bummer because I like them.
Yes I use Aztec supplies alot & chose to continue business with them . I think alot of people would drop them as a supplier ,however I really love many of their products & lower cost shipping they offer now . It's prepaid for me from now on with any online purchase . I could talk to the bank about locking a debit card as a alternative to avoid the load fees .
Thanks & I will look into this asap .

HOPEFULLY.............. our suppliers will realize that our accounts are being hacked and they will work with us to eliminate the threat.
Whether they do or don't, I will not leave myself and my bank account open to hackers. If I want to place an order, I will call the supplier directly..........if this is a problem for the supplier then they will be eliminated from my supplier list. I'm 68yrs old., living on SS income and refuse to be scammed by anyone.......................period.
I know exactly how you feel Pam ,as this situation is terrible . It has caused me a world of financial strain since being hacked more than once already .
I am even scared to phone in my orders ,due to the supplier will be entering my debit # into the computer . I only use a prepaid card now & leave no money on the card to spare . I refuse to let the theives steal another penny from me ever .

This happened to me twice... both from 2 of our candle suppliers. So yes, its a real concern. They all need to up their security game. At first I was getting a lot of bogus deflecting and passing the buck. And general customer service has no idea about security so they responses and attempts and trying to explain or mitigate fault was just hilarious. I still use one of them but cautiously with a single card that I watch a lot. I typically keep it locked until I need to use it just to be safe.
I had no idea the prepaids could lock .Do you mind sharing on how to do this ? This is great !
I use prepaid only for all orders now & spend out the remaining balance to avoid any hacking kwim.
It would be nice to lock the card after each purchase .
It is frustrating having to pay $4 each time I load the $ to place my orders ,as I am afraid to keep any balance on the card between each use kwim.
I have only had a issue with hacking thru Aztec ,other suppliers have been fine .
I use prepaid with all suppliers now out of fear of getting hacked .

Sorry, sorry, sorry! I didn't check before I posted my last post, but I made two batches of 2 cups beads and 2 ounces of oil to get the 9 ornies. They are 3/4" deep and weigh approximately 1.5 ounces each. Wish I could go back and edit that post.
GoldieMN
Lol yes I was starting to think you had some mini tiny cutters . I am sure the others will see this corrected amount post . I tried to edit something earlier myself ,it will not let us unless we do it really quick .
I really love the Plastics4fun beads b/c they last so long & soak up the oil in 24 hours ,also the price is great kwim.

I finally ordered beads from plasticpellets4fun and I'm very impressed so far. I started the scent Leather soaking and it really absorbed the oil quickly. I haven't baked them yet but so far so good!
I to just love these beads & leather soaks up so fast . I have so many request for leather & cherry leather here in Tx . Also cinnamon absorbs fast with these ,other beads took way to long with the both of these scents . I have dry beads in 24 hours 😀

No, they don't swell up. I can get 9 ornies out of one cup of beads (5.5 ounces) plus 1 ounce of fragrance oil. It will depend on the size of your cookie cutters. The ones I already had are 2-2 1/2"; I fill them to the top. (They shrink a bit as they melt.) I just ordered some 3" so will not get as many from the new cutters.
I can't remember how I came up with 1 ounce fo to 1 cup beads. I guess I was thinking a cup is 8 oz. (liquid) and didn't refigure for the 5.5 ounces I got when weighing the beads. Hopefully, they will be strong enough. The first batch I made have even less oil in them, and they smell up the car nicely. So what do you all think? Should I throw more oil in the beads I mixed up today?
GoldieMN
I put 1 oz per cup beads . Mine come out strong & long lasting .If you measure 1 cup & add 1 oz should be great kwim. Pretty sure this comes out to 8 ozs of beads when weighed . I will double check & let you know for sure .
Lol I never get 9 ornies out of a cup ,however my cutters are mostly large size up to 5"+ in height .I use alot of Ann Clark cutters thou .

Do the beads swell much when they soak up the oil? I guess I expected them to act more like my son's sensory water beads that soften & get the size of marbles when in water. Of course I'm not using the same volume of liquid though, so probably that's why they stay about the same size.
About how many ornies can be made per lb of beads?
I usually get 3 per cup 8 ozs in my regular size cutters ,of course this can vary according to the size of the cutter. I have a few molds that are as large as 2 regular kwim.
I sell the bigger ones for a lil bit more .
I am thinking a average of 6 per lb .

Same here Kat! I live in west Texas where it gets up to 120! I have Been testing the Plastic Pellets4Fun scents in cars and no melting issues whatsoever! Just now started testing my fall line and one scent smells up and an entire office suite inside and the car fresheners have been showing great results!!
These beads are the absolute best ever right ...I love the way they absorb so quickly & hold the scent so long .
I have a Community sale coming up in a few weeks & plan to take 200 . I have had nothing but great feedback with these beads ,so glad I have finally found some great quality beads without any issues at all 😀
I am glad you tried these & happy with the results .

I've been putting together a caution label for aroma bead ornaments and happened to read this on Nature's Garden:
"Please be advised: We do not recommend the hanging air fresheners for cars. This is due to the extreme temperatures that cars can reach during the summer months. The beads may melt and fall apart at high temperatures."
Geesh, I made these mainly for cars! Has anyone had the beads melt and fall apart? Should they be sold in organza bags and customer instructed to keep in that bag? Then I guess I wouldn't put a hole and ribbon through them. I need to order this caution label tonight in order to get 50% off on them.
GoldieMN
I have made over a hundred car freshners with the beads from Plasticpellets4fun ,none have ever melted in the cars .I live in South Tx & temps have been up to 100 this entire month.
I also noticed the scent has been lasting a month thus far & still can smell the freshners .I have them in our vehicles & customers have really complimented the freshners kwim .
I know the melting point on these are high . I will look this up & let you know . I have never tried NG beads . I did try Aztecs with bad results , crumbled in the middle & had a bad bad vinegar smell to them.
I always place a nail at the top before baking to make the hang hole ,then thread the twine thru this for hanging .
The bulk of my customers only use these for their cars .
I highly recommend the plastic pellets for car freshners 😀
