Good for you to love testing! To me that is the absolute worst thing about this craft. I hate testing, especially when it isn't going well. LOL!

I don't know about Daystar but as for Bittercreek....still no buyer as far as I know. They have a post on their Facebook page.

Thank you for your kind words. It is hard to keep up with the fiber art pieces. I make them and take them to the shows and they get all bought out. I don't get much of a chance to put them on the website.

What kind of wax did you use with these?

BC South has been closed for years. They just moved all of South's FOs to North.

I know there are a few of their fragrances that are a staple in my line. I am hoping whoever buys will keep my favorites. I have to say I wasn't really surprised by the news either. There are a lot of things out of stock or discontinued. But I wish him the best of luck in whatever he does.

After over 25 years in business, I have decided to retire and sell Bitter Creek. I will move on having met so many great friends, customers, vendors, and employees over the years and I couldn’t have imagined doing anything else. July 31st will be the last day to place new orders and our last shipping day will be August 2nd. After August 2nd the phones will not be answered and the only email that will be monitored is purchasing@candlesupply.com We will keep you updated of any changes and where you will be able to get our products in the future. Thank you again for 25 years of your trust in us and our products. Sincerely, Rich Hansen President / C.E.O Bitter Creek Candle Supply, Inc.

Thank you for the heads up!

I just checked TCS and the ingredients are the same! Thank you for letting me know. Such a difference in price too!

I will look into it. Thank you! I know I just about choked when I saw that. I can't remember what I paid for it a couple years ago and I understand materials have increased in price but.......

I have used this in the past and I have few customers asking for room and linen spray again. I just checked out their site and the price is now $90.95 for 7 pounds!!!!! 😲 What the What!?! Is that stuff really that good? Is there anything else comparable for a reasonable price? I tried witch hazel and distilled water but it seemed kind of MEH!

Your system is pretty much the same system I use! LOL

I just got a reply back from Northwoods about Frasier Fir. They had to rename because of the whole trademarked issue. It is now called Christmas Pine. Same exact fragrance just a different name. Whew!!!

OMG!!! I just looked and it is not there! I was going to call them but I can't find a phone number anywhere! WTH! My customers would be so mad if I can't get that FO anymore. I will be emailing them about it.

Thank you for posting this! I didn't even know about their sales. I don't know if they send email updates anymore but I used to get them.

I use palm wax and these are the ones that work for me: Autumn Colors Cinnamon Bayberry Cracklin Birch Turquoise Waters Farmhouse Christmas Reindeer Games Spiced Patchouli There are probably a lot of other ones but those are the ones I have tested and use.

Northwood's Frasier Fir is awesome!

The beads will stay good in the jar for a very long time. I have let them sit for a couple months sometimes before I get to them and they are still good.

Thank you so much!

@NightLightI dumped alcohol in my lampe to almost the top to see how much it holds. Putting it back into a measuring cup it holds 14 ounces. 1-3/4 cups. Do you go by weight or fluid ounces?

Thank you for the help. I did notice it took a while to get it lit yesterday. I will give it another try with this FO and see what happens.

So I tried again yesterday with an FO I always use in candles to compare. I used 20 drops and filled with a little over half with alcohol. I could smell the FO but I also notice a lot if the alcohol scent mixed in with the FO. It almost over powered the FO. So I am guessing I should add more FO to it??

It did work! I was a little hesitant to try it because there were some people that said it wasn't safe but did it anyway! I really watched closely at first to make sure nothing exploded! LOL! I just used a sample I bought to test in my candles. It was Salted Caramel Liqueur from RE so I can't compare to a candle as far as strength, etc. It did throw pure. Last night I lit it in our large living room/dining/kitchen area and did not seem as strong as in the bedroom but you could still notice it if you tried. If that makes sense. I want to try a FO I am familiar with next to compare the candles.

No it has to be 91% alcohol. This is the video I watched and I just followed his directions. But I used FO instead. About 20 drops.
