  1. Love that container I have used old enamelware buckets and such too. Also terra cotta works nice. Reminds me...I need to get some citronella and get my deck candles made
  2. Hmmm.... well it doesn't sound like the smell of the votive I have sitting here I am wondering if it is a renamed scent? But what scent!! Ack....
  3. I have a customer who gave me a candle that she bought at a craft/gift show. It is a votive, and was packaged 6 in the bag. They are sorta a bumpy grubby votive. The scent is called Tea Garden and she said she can't find them and loves them, and wanted me to make her more?? LOL! Help..anyone. It is kinda a spicey, cinnamon, floral?? LOL!! But I think my nose is broken...sniffin to many fragrances!!
  4. Shelly listed some awsome ones but another one to think about is http://www.bravenet.com I have used them for all my business newsletters and have the free account on all of them and love it. I get awsome feedback on my newsletters. Check them out. They are easy to use.
  5. Oh it looks awsome!! Bet it smells great too
  6. It won't let me see it?? Says I am forbidden.. LOL
  7. First let me say thanks to those who tooted my horn I know I am not allowed to promote my own company so I thank those who have posted about me and my business. I am on the up and up and am here to help anyone with questions, just hollar at me. I keep very busy and don't get here much so please pm or email me if you need help.
  8. Hmmm..I have never seen the special wick..but will now be lookin for them.
  9. I used to sell HI and did only because I could get candle cheaper!! LOL I loved their candles when I first started with the company...and then over a few years of selling them it seemed they raised prices and lowered quality. The candles didn't smell as strong as they once had. My fav was baked apple and lemon chiffon,..but even those don't smell very strong anymore. And..the soot was always bad!! Well I started making my own...soy and will never burn a HI one again!! Not even a soy one.. and especially at that price for an 8 oz candle! Insane!! But people will buy them because they are HI?? Push your candles....bet they are way better!! LOL
  10. I use an essential oil and make large container candles for my deck and they work nicely Boy does that clear your sinus's when your pouring them too... LOL I don't see why a pillar wouldn't do just the same?? Give it a whirl.
  11. Neat!! I have tried and tried with other wood to make the candles so can't wait to see what their wicks look like and how they work.
