That is one nice quilt! Since I decided to close/sell my business, I started making rag quilts. It's so much fun! You do really nice work! Carrie

Boy, this man works quick. I just sold my candle biz on 1/12/11 and just last week, the NEW OWNERS got a letter from him at their PO Box that they just opened. They were getting ready to refund him, but she called me first. I told her about this thread. Thanks for sharing this info! Carrie

Have you tried NG's Amish Friendship Bread? I have been using that one for years and my customers love it! Super strong!

I poured some in 6006 w/15% added soy and it has a great CT and HT! My customers love it too!

Bert's Chocolate Fudge Roll is awesome! I made a customer some whipped body soap and she loves it...she a choca-holic. In candles (IGI 6006) it rocks! HTH

I've left candles in my truck in cold temps and they were just fine. No noticeable glitches. Actually, my truck smelled awesome in the AM! I wouldn't worry. Carrie

I love Cajuns Christmas Memories as well and Snowdrift Berries....now where did I get that? I'll post who when I get home. Sugared Spruce and Home for the Holidays is good too!

The sale is based on a list of everything they will get for the price they are paying. Whether I use some of it now or not, they will still get these items when they take over. They are not getting any candles already made, only supplies to make them. I don't have a store, so there's no shelving, ceiling fixtures, etc... Just supplies to continue the line for the first year, training, etc.. , the co name and website, etc... Since they are not set up for pour, I am pouring for the rest of the year, as many of my wholesalers haven't placed their holiday orders. By the time they take over, there will be no more inventory, I'd have sold it all. The only part of my company they are buying is the 9 oz and 16 oz mason jar candles. The tartwarmers, tarts, etc... are not going with it.

The effective date of the sale is 1/1/11. I can do whatever with my inventory until that date and still use my co. name. The new owners are aware that I am still the owner until that time.

Finally! They take over 1/1/11. I''m still taking care of the holiday orders and having a going out of business sale in a few weeks to clearance out what I have left. What doesn't sell at my sale (tart warmers, candle warmer lamps and other misc. supplies that are not going with the company) will be put in the classifieds towards the end of November. I'm so happy I was able to sell it and all my wholesale customers are staying with the candle line. We will sign the papers w/in the next 2 weeks.

I've been using KY tart wax and I guess I need to up the FO as I'm not impressed with 1 oz. pp. I also tried to order some of candlesource wax (pillar/votive) and they are out for another 2-3 weeks. They said I could use their container blend for tarts....?? Is that so? Pls. Advise, Thanks! Carrie

I'm at work right now, but they fit perfectly under their warmer lamps (the ones with the arm and frosted shade). I'll measure tonite and let you know.

I use the 26 oz. apothecary jars. The warmers lamp shade fits perfectly inside the jar top and melts wonderfully. HTH Carrie

http://festivalnet.com/ Try this link. I used them years ago and always found tons of craft fair and shows to do. HTH Carrie

Bert's Vanilla Latte is to die for!

http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74551&highlight=dust+covers Take a look at this thread. Seems to be several places to get them. HTH Carrie

Those are very cute! Do they stay on once the candle is lite and gets hot? Just curious. Carrie

I'd try a 51z wick, 44z seems too small. JMO Carrie

That FO is exactly like the shampoo and it's wonderful and very strong. I did a craft show outside an old courthouse, lit the candle and people said they could smell it 200 yds away. Get a sample and try it. HTH Carrie

I use 6006 and use the CD wicks. Try a CD12 or CD14.

Two ladies from a neighboring town came out and we talked for 2 hours. They are so excited and have been in meetings with a financial advisor. I have tons of paperwork to provide plus some inventory #'s. But I'm hoping it's a go! Cross fingers please! C

Nope, Priority Mail for years and no one ever has complained. It's just how it is in the summertime.
