  1. All of them sound like they would be great. I would try pie crust first.
  2. I thought you just closed your business? Did you reopen or start a new one?
  3. Ace hardware and goodmans.com but the shipping was really high. You can order them at Ace free site to stores. Still no luck finding them with a smooth side. I guess I will just have a label made to go on the lid if I can't find the jar.
  4. I don't care for their oils at all, I never had luck with any of them.
  5. I buy mine from TVG glass, if you call and ask for Tim he can help you. They have a clear and a whole rainbow of colors and they are thick walled glass, not coated with the color, the glass is colored itself. Those thin ones I would worry about them breaking in shipping or God forbid when a customer is buring a votive.
  6. Maybe they don't have long distance? Or maybe they are high maintance and want to feel special being catered to. Either way I would ignore it, you have more important things to do.
  7. Does anyone know of a fragrance that smells exactly like vanilla cake frosting from the can? Those of you who stand at the fridge and eat it out of the can like me know what I am talking about. Very distinct and super delicious. I have smelled it before in a fragrance sample from somewhere but I can't find it again. TIA
  8. So am I reading this right and you were in the parking lot of candlesource when you noticed the mistake? If so I would have done what the last poster said and left it all on the counter and called my credit card co if that's what I was told. Their CS has been okay in my experience but this sounds nuts. They have to fix it, I can't see any vendor not correcting their own mistake like that but it's happend to me in the past by other vendors and I took my biz elsewhere. No shortage of candlemaking suppliers LOL. That handy dandy fragrance twins list on here is a godsend.
  9. They only had the 8oz.. I checked goodmans but shipping for 15 cases was more than the jars. Did they used to have flat rate based on the price or was that somewhere else? I can't remember it was so long ago since the last time I ordered glass. Filmore and ace has Ball but I need the space for the label so I need a smooth side.
  10. KY southern vanilla KY toasted marshmallow~ I call it cream soda and it sells like crazy. KY sugar cookie, weird oob but rocks in her soy tart wax. Candlesoylutions Vanilla great vanilla and awesome mixer. Kind of reminds me of DS ultimate vanilla or candle cacoon's vanilla. Just by nature Vanilla Cream, good plain vanilla, no butter tones. Millcreek Extream Vanilla similar to Candlesoylutions DS and CC. and Candlewic French Vanilla~ it's a true French vanilla if that is the direction you were headed in. And just throwing it out there but Peak's sugar cookie is one of the best vanillas I have found. I didn't care for many of JS vanillas but I don't do bath and body. I know a gal that loves her vanillas for B&B only so I wouldn't rule them out. About a year back I want to say I got the CS vanilla and it smelled floral to me. They must have fixed the issue but from what I have read it is very similar to DS,CC,Candlesoylutions, Milcreek etc. It all must come from enchanted lights?
  11. I've found the ball jars but I am looking for the Kerr jars, does anyone know where to buy these or even plain widemouth canning jars with no writing? TIA
  12. I am very anti consignment even local. I would not consign out of state, too risky.
  13. I just placed a huge order with them today 23 pounds of fragrance. I agree with doglover. I love NG and can say without a doubt they are one of my favorite suppliers. A few times here and there that I had issues but they correct it quickly. Kathy is a sweetheart, I love her too.
  14. I don't wholesale at all anymore. The profit was not enough for all the work. I barley make enough now with supplies and shipping costs going up as high as they did over the recent years.There is no way I could sell for half my retail and make it worth the effort. If I raised the retail to justify the wholesale prices, no one would buy them. I always thought it should be one or the other.
  15. While chit chatting on the phone making candles and not paying attention I pulled the handle on my large wax melter thinking my pour pot was at the right angle and shot myself in the stomach with molten wax. I ruined my shirt, pants, shoes and was scraping the floor for days. I also ended up buring my skin pretty bad. No scaring thank goodness. Not one of my finest moments and I inveted several curse words in the process.
  16. I like Breakfast in Bed.
  17. Hot Pink Sugar, Pink Sugar Crystals, Red and White Sugar... last one was dumb but when you mix red and white you get pink, maybe someone will get it.
  18. Candle cauldron which is another Bittercreek one (I think) but that one is pretty dead.
  19. Ditto. The Cantaloupe adds that something extra that you would have thought the cucumber melon would have smelled like from various descriptions, if that makes sense at all. Maybe sweeter, more complex and less like plain old honeydew. I like the ng version because it's simple yet has allot going on at the same time. That makes no sense either but hopefully you understand what I am trying to say.
  20. Yeah I know Bill,he is a super nice guy. He said they had so many complaints with IGI wax since they took over the Astro blends that they just carry their own stuff now. I bought a ton of it when they discontinued it. I will call him tomorrow and ask him again. Backwoods carries some at a reasonable price but shipping was super high. Still cheaper than candles and supplies even with the shipping.
  21. I prefer Cucumber & Cantalope from NG over all the melons I have tried.
  22. I understand that things go up but they are going to price us and themselves out of business. If I keep raising my prices to cover the increases then people will stop buying. Not good for them or me. Wonder if we should do a wax co op? I love Candlewic but they discontinued the IGI brands.
  23. Wild Maine Blueberry from Candlewic is the best blueberry IMO but I will try a few of hers. Just what I need another supplier, I am trying to get rid of some.
