WicknScents

Hey all I am doing my first farmers market in two weeks and have a few questions.. They are looking at anywhere from 100- 5000 people to attend and am trying to figure out how much stock to make.. I have 5 different candle scents. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

TIA

Angie

I have used them in the past and liked the oils.. I have a few up for sale in the classies

Got my first confirmed wholesale order yesterday from a local casino gift shop!!! (feel like singing the Mary Tyler Moore theme song!!! )

WSP has some on clearance: kueka bottles

I would like to welcome you to this board!

thanks for the replies, just wanted to say you all are so right, they have great customer service and let me know ahead which shipping company was cheaper to ship with I do believe they have just added another customer on their list!

I am thinking of ordering from them, and am wondering if their shipping is reasonable? Sorry if this in wrong section

TIA

i thought the lorann oils weren't safe?

Is there a good, nice priced place to buy the flavor oils for lip balms?

I use the wick pins "sometimes" on my votives (when I am testing), but with pillars I do the same as Scented does as I have had issues with the pin staying centered.

I am using paraffin that I got for a really good deal last year at candlewic.. Am noticing I am getting low, afraid to look at the prices now!

I use just plain old mold sealer putty and 90% of the time it doesn't leak

BTW congrats on the quitting smoking Georgia

Thanks! I might try the fo's from both places

Candlechem has a nice almond scent.

If you look at your site on IE it is all centered, if you look at it on Mozilla it is all to the left on my screen. I think the colors have a gentleness to the site

Do anyone have ideas of suppliers that sell skin safe clove scent for lotions? ty in advance

I prefer to use paraffin, as soy is not a big seller where I live.

It seems they sink as they get to room temp. I have been dabbling with candles for about 5 years, however this year I started to make more and sell them.

Alot of times I just buy the 11lb paraffin slabs from the local Joann Fabrics as they are the only place that sell candle and soap supplies locally, also I have been getting the wax from there for 40 percent off with the weekly coupons from the fliers.

I did recently buy some wax from Candlewic, its one that is on special right now: https://www.candlewic.com/store/Product.aspx?q=cParaffins,p1075

Thanks for the responses

Any suggestions on which wax to use for votives and pillars, I use a paraffin/beeswax blend now, and it seems I have multiple re pours as the wax cools.

Also which company do you prefer to buy from for wax?

thanks!
