Great job. You are right, ya just gotta smile when you see those colors.

How cute are those? Love them!

My all-time favorite Cucumber Melon is BNL's (sold at BCN). I have used in paraffin, parasoy, joy and EZ Soy as well as 464. It is a great seller

Love the black mottle pillar! (and all the rest)

Great point CB. The flavors from Get Suckered are in soybean oil with no alcohol, so they should all be good to go. The few I've used were great.

Very nice!

I have a spare too. I lost one and ran out to buy a new one. You guessed it, found the lost one the next day but had already used the new and tossed the box. So now I have 2 and I have used both for almost 7 years now and neither shows any signs of trouble. I'll probably jinx myself now and they will both blow within a few days-lol.

Sometimes there is an ad on the right side of the page here that is a box place - not like papermart so much but more like custom boxes. I haven't seen it the last couple days but maybe it will pop up again soon. Or google custom candle boxes and that may help? I"m no help, sorry. I use a white box and a clear label on it.

Wow - congrats!

Congrats on the good show and surviving the weather!

I use KY. Not sure how it compares to other suppliers but it sells well and is strong

I tried the boxes on the top to see if my candles looked any different but I don't think I could sustain that method and maintain any type of production. Spacing to accommodate boxes was murder and no way I could fit enough candles in an oven. I rarely have sink holes but I usually poke and touch up with heat gun.

Chele,

Do you still have your store and the barn is for production?

I would go as large as you can afford without debt. I have about 600sq ft and it is well laid out and is TINY. All I do is pour and package as that's all that space allows. I store some glass and wax there but have a storage unit for the rest.

I gotta 3rd this one. Snuggle Baby is a great scent

I've never seen anything like it and it is awesome!

Cute! I bet they will go over great

It seems like you are wanting these to actually give out for people to burn, right? Have you priced the 1 or 2oz tins?

More beautiful pillars - wow!

What about tealights? Or the glass votive size - 2 oz maybe? Both would be a smaller option for samples and still something that can be burned.

All look great but that tortise in blue is beautiful!

They look great! Love the color :highfive:

Another flared here

Judging from all the smiling faces, it looks like it was fun! Thanks for showing us what we missed.

LOL! I checked out their site. It has all been redone now. At the bottom it has a blurb about their graphics and artwork blah-blah and actually says "don't steal, karma is real" :laugh2:

I don't doubt that they "could" afford to pay another $1 and that they will understand why the price went up. It's not that I don't think they will buy, it's what do I stock for shows to have the right size for the pocket book. Will they still buy the 16oz size or drop back to the tumbler size which is easier on the pocketbook? I believe we will all still buy luxuries but will they be smaller luxuries?

I think people are more understanding than you think. When I raised prices they were. Some were even surprised I hadn't raised them earlier. They understand that everything costs more now and you can't sell at the same price. If they can't afford to give you a dollar or more each, then they really shouldn't be buying candles at this time anyway.
