  1. 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!! :laugh2: But I think my nose is broken...sniffin to many fragrances!!

  2. First let me say thanks to those who tooted my horn :D

    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.

  3. 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

  4. Depending on the type of pillar wax you use, it works fine for container candles. I have used my eco soya pb in containers (mini masons, wide mouth ball 16 oz, 10 & 16 oz apothecary) but do upwick at least two sizes from what I would have in that jar if I just used container wax. Works great!!

    The nice thing with a pillar wax is the ability to make a grubby/chunky candle. One that is whipped till chunky then poured..pillar wax is best for that.

    Just experiment...that is all one can do.

  5. I haven't tried any orange clove from any certain companies..but do get the spiced orange from BCS.. love it!

    I do however use my BC fresh squeezed oranges and clove and make my own mix.. and love that too :) That took some testing, but happy with the results. :)

  6. As far as I know you can't buy them. There are a few companies that do the wooden wick candles, but for the wicks themself.. it is their secret.

    A new site that sells them actually advertises with me and she did fill me in on the wood wicks they make/sell. I have one of her candles that I just did a review on and I love it!!

    I am sure it won't be long and somebody will sell the stuff to do them.. LOL! Seems when something is new..everyone wants a piece of it.. LOL
