Thanks Darbla!

Revisiting an old there here but did either of you try the dust cover and like how it looks? I've been debating back and forth about it since I originally read this post and just can't seem to make up my mind. I like the fact that the dust covers are way less expensive. Especially as I know some customers just toss the lid.

I'm a little odd I guess as I do it by color.

I've used 6006 in clamshells and portion cups. I was able to get them out of both of them with no problem.

Luminous - I've used 464 in clamshells in the past before switching around waxes. It came out of the clamshell fine. However at shows if it gets warm it can melt very easily. I had a few accidents in the past because I would get busy and forget to make sure they weren't getting to soft.

I agree the Cinnamon & Sandlewood is very yummy. I also like their Magnolia.

I call it sweet as sugar.

yikes sorry for the big picture.

Ladysj, I've been using this jar from DT for sometime and have had no issues thus far. I have torture tested this thing to the max of my ability. My friend actually paints them and put them in her oven to bake the paint and has yet to have one shatter.

TxSioux - The ones I buy from DT (both in store and online in bulk) come with a label on the bottom that states Made In The USA. I'm attaching a picture of the label on one I have on hand. (Forgot to take the label off before pouring lol) Maybe different DT's get the jars from different sources which is the only reason can think of for you getting one with the GB label. Now if they had the GB label on it I'm like you I wouldn't touch it but then again that's just my personal preference.

I wish I wasn't in such a small town. While I'm right off 85 I'm probably too far out for most folks. Since I have plenty of room at my shop to have a little get together.

$24.95 plus shipping for 100. I get mine from here all the time. They ship out pretty quick in my opinion.

For the show I'm preparing for now and for most shows I do 25 scents. I've tried narrowing it down to 10-15 but just can't seem to make myself do it. As for how much of each item I take depends on the size of the show.

Thanks everyone. I love love love having the shop and can't imagine not doing this now.

They have done a nice little write up with pictures of my shop. Wooo hooo! I just had to share with ya'll

Angel.

Candle Science has a good Coconut Lime and if you ordered today then I think you would get free shipping.

That is too cute. I'll have to grab my 2 nieces and give it a try once some of this snow is gone.

Kim thank you so much for your help. They say that the 73-75mm Plastic Lids fit their colored tumbler which has similar dimensions as the one at Starrville. Thanks again!!

Has anyone seen a plastic dust cover similar to ones you can get at Lonestar but for this small size jar? The diameter is 2 3/4". I've been looking but can't seem to find anything so thought I'd ask on here.

I second CS's Watermelon.

I love CS Lemon Verbena. It's a very fresh lemony but not bakery scent.

You can find the glass heart shaped bowls here too.

We call them Little Bits.

A lady in my shop makes those I'll send her an email tonight and see what she can recommend.

Now when I crocheted rag mug mats if I pulled the fabric to tight it would curl up on my some kind of awful. I have no idea how the nylon would act though.
