Had a customer request candles scented Bluebonnets. I didn't realize that was the state flower of Texas. She used to live there and was curious if I had any. Does anybody know where to get a good bluebonnet FO? BTW....Happy St. Patty's Day !!!! -Denise

Don't use C&S (ahem!!)

Welcome to the board Becky!!

LOL Pam....got this visual of you digging through the box like you were on a mission for that "piece of candy!!" Hee, Hee!!

Placed a huge order with her last week and asked her "where are my tootsie roll candies?" She said "What?" "I don't send candy out with any of my shipments...EVER!!!" Are you sure that it was JS that sent you the candy?

Michi, Sending a little spending money for McKenna. I saw that you reached your goal...but this has moved so fast that I didn't get to send anything in time. So....please accept this from our house to yours. Love, Denise

Michi, What is the balance of $$ that you need...so we can help you out? Give it up girlfriend!!!

:laugh2: :laugh2: I'm surprised more people didn't catch this one.....:undecided

Love..... Chestnuts & Brown Sugar Hot Apple Pie Orange Dreamsickle Cranberry Orange Lemon Sugar Passionate Purple Caramel Cinnamon Latte I could go on and on.....

What part of Maryland do you live?

My answer would be to order liquid color from Candles & Supplies or another supplier that sells peach coloring.

I have this problem with some of my FO's that have cinnamon or vanilla in them. Heat that FO up. Put it in a hot bath for a few minutes (heat up some water, pop the FO bottle into the water bath and let it sit for a few minutes). Then....incorporate into the wax and stir like crazy. Don't sell the ones that the FO separate in.....they are hazardous as the FO is flammable when the flame hits it and POOF....SOMEONE WILL HAVE CINGED EYEBROWS....:undecided

Just Scent Merlot.....awesome....not too sweet either. Smells just like it

Another really good place to find good shows is to subscribe to "Sunshine Artist" magazine. The shows are rated and they are listed by state. This has become such a "gem" to me.

Thanks Fern!! I must admit I probably won't like most of these for myself personally due to the headache factor and I am not a big fan of florals or fresh FO's. Trying to accomodate my floral/fresh customer base and testing some of these....probably with the windows wide open and it will be like 19 degrees outside so that I can breathe.....LOL!! Oh yeah...with my coat on.....

My prices are the same whether I am selling on a street corner....LOL or at a small show or a large show!!! My price never changes for shows.

Hey Smiley, I usually bring about 700 candles with me to a show. I generally have at least 100 scents to choose from and I arrange them in sections. The first section is florals/fresh...the second section is fruity and the third section is baked goods and the fourth section is earthy. When they approach the table I ask them what they like....fruity, earthy, floral etc...and then I go from there. It's fun to hook them by saying "it doesn't cost anything to smell" and then five minutes later they can't decide what five candles to buy because they only have $50 left to spend I put a business card in their bag with their reciept and have them sign my mailing list for "specials" and I do mailers to let them know where my next shows are and what the specials are for the month. When I first started the big shows, I walked into it the first day knowing I was already in the hole by $500. My expectations were to hopefully make up that money at least and to find new customers that would return to buy again at a later date. It seems that when you expect nothing and hope for everything it's a much more peaceful experience. I found that the Sugarloaf festivals were the most intimidating with so many chandlers and an easy $850 for a weekend spot at the show. Sugarloaf is a HUGE SHOW!!! I found it worth it to take the plunge. I can honestly say I have never done a show that I walked away "eating" the fee for the space. Always at least sold that much and then some. Think of it as a marketing expense. You are personally out there selling your awesome product and people get to see you face to face. The larger shows just helped to propel my business into the next level. Good luck!! -Denise

A must try is Just Scent STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE. To be honest...don't smell the cheesecake part at all. This is like fresh strawberries that have just been cut up .....no additives...LOL!! MOST AUTHENTIC STRAWBERRY I HAVE FOUND!!! HTH!! -Denise

Hubby and I do about 5 large shows a year....with medium sized shows sprinkled in between. The large shows are at least $400 for a 10 by 10 space and some are even more (YIKES!!), but they are worth it. I have been busy testing out new oils to change up the line a little bit. Been deleting and adding scents to the line since November. I love the large shows..... Since we have been doing shows for 6 years now, we have people come and look for us, which is an awesome feeling. I have just been juried into two more shows for this fall (that are relatively large as well). Exciting things are happening..... Good luck to you Tess at your show. BTW....sounds like you are doing good for yourself....YOU GO GIRL!!! Also....as a side note....we really enjoy the small hometown shows at the churches and in small established historic towns that have festivals every year. What a fun hobby!!

I add my FO at 190 and then pour up at 165 to reduce shrinkage.
