I sell B&B and it started as a hobby and I now call it my hobby business and no I do not make a living at this. I will retire in a couple of years and hope to be able to supplement my income at that time. Best venue for me is craft type shows, monthly markets and a quarterly market I do. I do 25 shows a year. Gosh I had no idea until I actually counted them. Anyway, my sales at shows drive repeat customers to my website. I have one wholesale customer that is actually another vendor that a I make a couple of Celtic soaps for her. I have not enough time for more wholesale at this time plus I enjoy meeting the customers. In my area, there are very few chandlers at the shows I go to being replaced by Scentsy it seems. But there are a few still around. But I only saw them at the fall and Christmas type shows this season. I do shows year round now whereas I used to start in October through the first two weeks of December. Word of mouth is great too and I also have a booth in a craft mall. I pay rent, they sell, collect tax and send me a check. I don't consider that consignment but some people do. I do fairly well at the craft mall and there is one candle vendor in the mall. Used to be several when I started 3 years go at that mall.
