Unfortunatly they are everywhere, if you figure out a way to stop people like that please let me know.

You're damned if you take the high road and you're damned if you stoop to their level. I just ignore it and focus on my own business. People like that behave that way because of jealousy and it's so underhanded.

If they were bringing in business you are they would not have that kinda time right?

When I started 11+ years ago I thought of crafters as nice and sweet people because they get to do what they love, but it's the opposite! Most at these shows are so cut throat it's insane, same goes the internet. Not to mention some of these gems at the shows look like they live out of their trucks and have trailer park trash written all over them. I guess they need the cash more than you.

I stopped doing most shows allthogether because of the quality of people attending. As a matter of fact I went to the Apple Fest this past year and it seemed more like a garage sale then craft fair. So glad I passed on it.

Unless you have a daily pick up @ $9 - 14 a week flat rate based on $ amount you spend, then UPS and Fedex will charge anywhere from $8-10 per box on top of the shipping charge which is nuts. UPS will take any out going box free of the pick up fee if they are already there delivering a package. Fedex will not. If you know your getting a UPS package that day then just trade with the driver.

And that UPS flat rate box is insured too up to $100.00 right?

I've come up with so many new blends that way just having two candles just mingle in the house. I've also created things that will make you gag. The most recent was Vicks vapor rub 1st floor, Lemon lavendar guest bathroom and Chocolate cream chesse cupcake family room. It was so horrible but it was nice outside that day so I was able to air out the house quickly.

I bet you the cran marm and mistletoe would be really good.

I second Peaks but I've found a bottle from the candle source one is oregon pine and the other is christmas tree and they both have the sap smell in them that you are talking about. I'll have to try the one from filmore.

Does anyone use quick books or quicken with paypal. I've been looking into it and one of them is supposed to be able to import data from paypal easily. Paypal does not recommend one over the other.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

There is an upscale place out her in NY that had a little mail table painted like that and they wanted $400.00 for it. I'd say you did very well.

I go out there a few times a year, I could print those out and give the owner your info if you wanted.

I would think so, I wonder what they are made from and if it would affect the scent.

Ky wax always varies for me, sometimes cloudy when melted, every once in a while I get an intense soy or cocoa butter smell or ripples on top of tarts etc. Scent throw never changes though and that's all I care about because I just make tarts with it. Even when it smelled strange to me once I put the FO in it smell went away. I've been pretty happy with KY and thrilled with their FO's.

check out bcn they have some for tea lights & votive's the votive ones are 2" so they might work. hth if it works could you let me know that sounds like a neat idea.

Ditto.. Sunshine container has them to much cheaper if it works out and you need allot.

It's beautiful. I love it.

I don't know but somebody needs to tell her that decedent means a dead person. I think she means decadent. Just goes to prove that you should always have somebody else proof read your website. LOL

I told her and she fixed it, LOL Guess spell check isn't the wonder tool. I've seen much worse on other sites.

CDGM does her soaps, you could send her a PM.

Tennessee is out of stock of their caramel corn does anyone know of another place I can get this oil? Or anyone has a pound they could sell me please pm me.

Thanks

I got a sample of the "cake". Not really liking it at all. Kind of smells like NG vanilla extract but with a strang undertone. I don't smell cake or frosting. Bummer.

It only gets worse fall - Christmas season. No one wants to pay for anything. Just delete it, real business owners don't send emails like that. Ask yourself, would you send something like that to one of your suppliers? Or better yet would you even have the nerve to? I would be too embarrassed.

The review for free product thing is getting out of hand now too, everyone's a writer or youtuber these days.... free blogs/channels that no one could find or would ever read LOL

Candlescience.

Shipping kills me, I just paid my Fedex invoices today. It goes up every year and every year I freak out. I guess we have no choice but to accept with it. But we don't have to like it. Let's hope email stays free.

Wax used to cost 15-16 bucks to ship to me, now it's around 22-25 per box. I miss the good old days LOL

Try jambleberry or brambleberry thumprint cookies from BW.

pm'ing you.

Did you try zinc wicks yet?

This will never happen but... I would love a global candlemakers strike in protest of the wax price gouging! Wax prices never dropped when gas did but they sure go up and up.Still scratching my head on Candles and Supplies jumping the highest when the wax is manufactured a few miles away at IGI. Every candlemaker could hold out on buying ANYTHING until prices come back down to where they should be. A girl can dream but it would never happen.

I have that oil and I don't smell bananas. I would email her, you probably got an oil with the wrong label.

Sorry I don't agree, I would ignore her, I just think this woman is an idiot. Obviously she knows how to use a tart so what is there to explain? I would not give her a refund or give anything away for free nor make a prissy complainer a tester. Chances are they complain to get a freebie here and there and making them a tester for your products will just encourage them. People like that I just don't want. Call it poor customer service if you will. Wonder if she used a blow tourch to melt the tart for three days straight to make a "hole in the middle". Do you really want your products in her hands is what you should be asking yourself.

Update on VPC:

I have several samples on the way, thanks for the sample tart for comparison;) when I match it I will be sure to post it here for everyone who was searching.

Thanks, I pm'd her a few days ago and haven't heard anything back yet.

Still no luck finding one. If anyone has any I can buy I can paypay right away. I only need about 6 ounces.

Who has the best vanilla pound cake fragrance oil?
