Might be just me, but I find the font you've used a bit hard to read.

I have to agree. I do like the way it looks at a glance, but bit of a strain on these old eyes.

Janette

Just thought I would put this link up. I've been searching for these since the co-op and thought others might also be.

Hi, how's the weather?

:laugh2:

Many suppliers list their Top 10 Scents on their sites. I've seen this on Nature's Garden, Indiana Candle Supply, Peaks...I'm sure there are many more.

I tried several times to contact this company by email as wanted to place an order with them over the phone rather than online. After about 6 emails I received one reply which did not answer my question or provide me with a phone number I requested to order. I emailed her several more times to asking if I could place a phone order...and heard nothing back ever. I guess I am lucky that I never even got to place an order so I have lost nothing.

Janette

PS- I think I saw in an old post that this company is based in Florida.

I think the lid is more likely to cause a problem. If the lid has a rubber or plastic seal on it I don't think you will ever get the smell out completely.

Rapsberry Lemonade is a must have for spring/summer. It's super strong and a great FO.

I second the Raspberry Lemonade:highfive: .

ICS's Pink Sugar is great!!!

Janette

Beautiful as always....thanks for showing.

Janette

Love the colours...Awesome job:yay:

Janette

Nicely done...All are great...I love the rustic.

Janette

I think having a range of amounts is a good idea.

Janette

I'd say if you already have a local customer base that takes your full capacity then don't - you don't want to disappoint these customers. If on the other hand you actually have more capacity and won't run out for these loyal local customers then why not?

I agree. If you are selling everything that your bees can produce then maybe those bees deserve a raise.

Janette

I love that purple! What wax did you use?

The wax is IGI 1242, 2Tbsp Stearic, UV, 1/2 oz FO, dye.

Thanks for all the input...I like the pillars best myself, but I'm a little biased. I will likely send the pillar....but I think that they photograph better than the lantern so I'll see how my photos turn out first.

Cheers

Janette

Thanks all.....

It is scented with Flowering Dogwood-NG.

I am pulling my hair out over the wicking...waiting for some flat braid to arrive to test on the twin. Square braid just doesn't do it, flame to big and tunnelling. I haven't worked much with stearic so I have a ways to go before I will be happy with the burn.

Janette

Please help me decide which piece to send for jurying. The first is a cane with scallop shells embedded. The second is an embedded pillar, a design I have done for years. I will also be sending photos, but have to send one actual product. TIA

Janette

Poured this for testing yesterday...and WOW is this one strong. To me it is all Lemon...I don't smell the berries...but it is very nice. I am waiting for some flat braid to arrive before I wick and test burn.

Janette

I have just started playing around with these....much to learn but happy enough to show you all. Thanks for looking.

Janette

Lily of the Valley from NG is a great seller for me-spring & summer. Awesome throw.

Banana Kiwi- I just put this in wax a couple of days ago. Good cold throw. Haven't lit it yet. It's a fruity banana. Not bad...not my fav.

Rootbeer- I LOVE THIS STUFF

Janette

What are their fragrances like though? Any recommendations for when i next need some dye??

Would def recommend tho!!!!1

I used to order FO from Pourette and some where fine....Sandalwood, Amber, Rose and Blackberry(discontinued) were all good. But since I have gotten online and found Peak, Nature's Garden, BCN, RA, etc...I have stopped buying Pourette's FO. Many of their scents I didn't care for, not so realistic to me.

HTH

Another common problem with floating candles is the water temperature. If the water is too cold it can cause the candle to crack when burning, then it fills up with water and sinks. Try another size wick as the others have said, but also try using warmer water. HTH

Janette

Ok, I'm thinking it was YUZU...anyone try this? How is it?

I think you are right, it was YUZU....I have been thinking the same as you for a while and just haven't gotten around to trying that one yet.

Janette

Favorite at the moment- Rootbeer-NG (I can't believe I admitted that)

Best Seller depends on the season-Spiced Cranberry-NG fall/winter

Janette

The candles look great. Very nice job on the set up and photography.

Janette

Keystone's- Salty Sea Air, throws great in paraffin...no idea about soy.
