  1. Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoy them. Yes the displays do fold up. They are made for soap but my candles fit on them also. I purchased them from a guy name Wudls on Etsy. They come unfinished so you can paint them if you wish or leave natural. So far they are very versital and help to bring my product closer to the customer.

    Thank you, I'll go check it out today. I'm glad that they come unfinished as my colors are purple and hunter green. I'm sure that black would look great, but I like the option of making it my own!

  2. I did all the deductions possible including a portion of my property taxes, my electric bill etc. I just couldn't find any more deductions! I even purchased four stainless steel tables and two 72" tall stainless steel wire racks, bought a bunch of oils and loaded up on wax. I just plain made a profit last year and this year so far is starting off well, so maybe I'll get to quit my day job sometime in the future.

  3. I started my candle/soap making business in 2008. The first few years I lost money, then for a few years I broke even. Now I have finally made a small profit!:yay::yay::yay: I actually have to pay Social Security/Medicare taxes this year on my business income:laugh2:

  4. The farmer's market that I have been selling at for several years only allows "handmade". I would have some customers that didn't have a votive container to burn votives in, so......in order to sell them a glass votive holder, I made some of the votives in the little glass votive holders and sold them that way. I would tell those few customers that didn't have votive holders that they could reuse the containers of the little candles to burn their votives. Had a sell and didn't break any rules!

  5. I received this today.

    I have "statcounter" installed on my website so that I can see where my hits are from. When I went to my account with statcounter, I saw that this person was actually from Lagos, Nigeria. I ,of course, didn't reply and quickly deleted it. I seem to be getting more and more of this type of request. If this person really had looked at my website, he or she would of known my prices and could pay online as well.

  6. I use two pots. Large and small. I mix in the large pot and then pour a small amount into the small pot. I then pour into my containers from the small pot which is lighter and I have more control. I refill the smaller pot from the larger pot as needed. This has worked well for me.
