have ya'll ever smelled it? i think it smells soooo good and it would be the bomb diggity in a candle...especially for fall, but for the life of me i can't find the oil --have you seen it anywhere?

I love that jar! I'm gonna have to break down and get some.(I'm lovin that shade of green too!)

I think you can get that exact pea-soup color by using the dye flakes from candle cocoon called "dried grass/celery green". I used them in 70/30 and GL pure soy:

Guess its basically an olive color - nice earth tone.

hi ya'll--

have any of you good people tried the wyw oils from bcn? are they really that strong? I was thinking about ordering bamboo to make some soy candles--have you tried it? does it smell good? thanks!

who is loren...and what website is he on?

sorry...just saw that he is on candlesource

Yes, the Status or Metro jars are beautiful...very upscale looking. I also like the look of the frosted bulb jars with the round flat lid...elegant!

that is sooo funny i was just doing a search on these jars...they are hot! who has the best price on them though?

I take the lids off of one of every scent. It brings on the customers in droves! Nobody else in my area does this and it's a huge selling point to the customers. I do it at outdoor shows as well as indoor shows.

I also light and burn a candle or two through out the show so that people can see that my candles are correctly wicked and how they burn. They can also sniff to make sure the scent is strong and throws well when burning at the bottom of the jar.

That'a a cool idea . What kind of scents do you burn at your booth?

I don't know anything about wholesale pricing, but I just wanted to say.....

Congratulations!!:whoohoo: :whoohoo::whoohoo:

That is so exciting!!

I have one that i sell shoes on- www.sassyshoediva.com --never sold candles on there though ( sorry ) .

I use vendio to list my stuff--makes listing a whole lot easier-- www.vendio.com their message board is very helpful.

I did pretty well on there but during the summer i do alot of festivals and I don't think that I can juggle both, so I plan on not selling online until the fall but the store is still there if you would like to check it out.

i use oval gold ones.

This is a really great thread!! Thanks!

it should be

yep--that's my website..it needs some love. I plan up gussying it up soon---but you get the idea.

yes--it was for container candles...thanks!

i was just curious which would work better....

i have....i paid $100.00 for a year / ecommerce -shopping cart website. it was the cheapest I could find and the tech support is great--i set it up myself though. www.sweetsmellingstuff.com I haven't done too much to it ...been busy at the ebay store i have.

have you tried exotic fragrances.com? I use them for insence and their dupe oils smell just like the real thing.

Hi--

My name is Billyne. I've love this message board! ( I'm a lurker:cool2: ). I just had a quick question for ya'll. Which is easier for you when you are making a large amount of candles--do you apply your labels before you pour or after?

Thanks!
