I like that:)

I use both wicks you mentioned.

Those are just TOOOOOOOO cute!

Where are you all getting this wax?

I have a :)graphic in my label

I use these labels and I don't have a problem with red. My printer is a inkjet Canon 850. Is your cartridge low? I don't know what to think. Sorry:cry2:

welcome Penny:smiley2: Your soaps are beautiful

Creme Brulee is strong

How about using iron-on transfer sheets:smiley2:

I currently package mine in 8oz containers:smiley2:

Could you contact the woman's club to verify whether you'll be upstairs or not? If you are maybe you could ask to have a sign at the foot of the stairs saying you are up there and maybe a small display of your products. Then the customer would know it was worth the trip upstairs. Are any of the other 16 vendors candles and B&B people? If you are the only one that could be a real boost for you in sales and exposure. Good luck

I have spoken with the chairperson several times and was almost tempted to ask her if I could have a downstairs(main level) spot. She told me they were limiting "alike" vendors. She said last year they had too many jewelry vendors. She seems to really want me there so maybe I could use that to my advantage a little bit:wink2:

YEA!!!!:cheesy2::cheesy2: Which one did you get?

Awww thanks!

It really does work though. I was crammed up in a corner once with being new to the particular show. I did that with the soap in the bathroom.... I would say that 70% of the people at my table started the conversation by saying... I used your soap in the bathroom.....

It is a great way to sell without being pushy. I do not do pushy.

I think that is a fabulous idea. I want to do this show for primarily for exposure. And I know sales will happen. I think I might just bite my wallet and do it! I'm already doing 4 other shows this fall. Thanks for both of your inputs.

UPDATE: I just wanted to let you all know that I decided to do this show! It is in 2 weeks. I'm also doing a 2 day show this weekend. I'll report back and let you know how it went. Wish me luck:cheesy2:

I have been invited to do a holiday boutique. I was contacted by the women's club here in town wanting me to participate. It is a 3 day event and there are approx. 16 vendors in this old victorian house. The chairperson told me approx. 1100 people attend. My dilemma...it cost $150.00!!! I'm not sure if I can make that back. My average price of a product is about $8.00 or so. i would be taking my B&B products and candles. One thing I have heard is that they put a lot of the "newbie" vendors upstairs and in the past a lot of vendors that were upstairs didn't get a lot of business. A lot of the women that come are older and can't climb stairs or what not. I don't know what to do because it is local and I could get my name out there. Anyone have any comments or thoughts?

I know you can use liquid colorants to color bath salts, but what about using micas, oxides, or ultramarines? Has anyone used these?

I really like bubbles n lights

Pm'd you!!

I have 12 different scents that I drag to each of my home parties. I purchased some small 1 oz sample sized containers, and filled with different fo's of shea butter. That way, each and every person has to try a shea in order to smell the scent. Then most will get that instead of a lotion. Then I can normally get them to purchase the shower gel, soapy scrub, body spray, and what not with my 3 for deals! Works great for me, and not any headache to speak of!

Good luck at your show!

Heather, thanks for that great idea:)

To be honest when I first glanced at it, I thought the leaves in the background were spider webs, and thought, huh?

I like it overall, but I think the leaves need "something", not sure what, but just a little "something".

Hi. I have to agree with Michi. I thought it looked like some kind of insect too. I like the font & name.:smiley2:

Should I also limit my soaps to 5 also? I'm getting there..HEHE

I'm sitting here trying to get my scent selection down. It's so hard! Should I take 1 or 2 "MAN" scents? I also make lotion bars so I thought I won't offer the same scents in those that I have in lotions. HUGGHHH!

I'll be doing a show this fall w/ my B&B and was thinking do I need testers for every scent a carry? Say if I have 12 lotion scents..should I have 12 testers so people can try them out? How about butters, shea,,,etc. What do you all do? I'm used to doing candle shows where the customer just picks up the candles & takes a whiff!

Kinghouse I believe is now Keystone not Trisatate:)

Yes, you must crimp your wick tabs. they won't stay in the tab any other way!

I guess my name just came to me one day. I wanted a name I could expand upon.....FlameWorks, LTD
