Are you selling these? Those sound good! I find so many people don’t like rose scent which makes me sad. I would make everything with roses! I make rose perfumes using essential oils and blend with other oils. Lately,  palo santo is one I love.

I do! I can't keep rose in stock! I love Plalo Santo but I don't use it (because of the nature of capitalism forcing over harvesting and the traditional uses of the Indigenous people gets stolen by non Indigenous people. That's just me, I'm not meaning to sound like a self righteous ass. )

What do you guys think? I bought these hoping my bears would fit in them but it seems my mini cupcakes and macarons are the only thing really able to display. Should I make use of them or return?

 

Those cloches are painfully cute!

That chalk board sign is really cute.

I think so. It's a little millenial hipster yuppy for me but its affordable and not that bad.

Everything in my life is about EO's. I'm was into the chamomiles last night and in the next couple fo days I'm working on a blue chamomile eye serum/balm and today I'm doing some Helicrysum facial serums/light lotions.

Rose is my favorite. I'm not even that picky, just any rose EO.

I'm thinking of doing an order soon...

AHNOPE.

I don't use bases so I can't tell you how this or that or anything else compares (although I am regularly tempted by this particular product). I do know that a LOT of companies and maker/vendors use this https://www.stephensonpersonalcare.com/products/crystal-opc

Okay that sounds about right. I have a price list ready and another sign saying to ask me about custom orders so that should fill the space without leaving too much blank areas. I don't want to make it crowded but I don't want it too bare looking either!

Add signage. I get little stand up sings from Micheals. I use these. https://www.michaels.com/rectangle-chalkboard-easel-signs-by-artminds/10557350.html#q=chalk+board+sings&start=7

I do. I don't use FO's so I can't help you with that.

I just talk about the fair trade/no slavery chocolate I use.

I love the colors! For sure I would do sniffies (like someone upthread mentioned.), the height in the back looks good, I like you have 3 "sections", I wouldn't do the balloons, a ton of people are very allergic to them and I for instance wouldn't do near a booth, indoor or out, with latex balloons.

I know a ton of Herbalist who use those or similar jars for salves. They really do look nice.

Welcome y fellow Minnesotan!

I do. Do you want a link to the place where I started or do you want what I do now?

I'm a DIY person, HIGHLY HIGHLY DIY, and I would do this.

How was the House of Intuiion candle? I've seen them on Instagram since they launched their candle line and the videos I've seen show a lot of sooting. I wonder if that's just been user issues (drafts and such). I was also turned off by their marketing on the magic candles. (What's on their website if different than your candle pictured - the images on the website say to leave the candle burning for 5-7 days - yikes). 

I didn't buy it, I don't know them and I know many candle makers in person and online, so I tend to buy from people I know, ya know?

knowknowknowknowknowknow. lol

I've started getting more into this. I'm making my own, not dipping blanks. Does about  else do that?

I am really starting to get into YouTube videos. I found this one.

I think I lost them. Somehow.

It’s been a while since I have been on eBay to sell, but combining was not a problem then. The shipment has a spot to copy/paste the tracking number.

 

The best defense is a good offense. Taking a clue from overseas sellers of light weight things, I take weights in grams of packages, and write it on the box.  For a while I would photograph the packed box if pricey, and send the photo to the customer with the weight to dissuade any thoughts of false claims. Some co-op hosts will video themselves packing the order to again prevent false claims of something not being in the box. Crazy, right?

 

A big protector, though, is really taping that box to the hilt. Taping the ends and center with bands of packing tape help the package arrive intact. Make it look difficult to break into stealthily. Add stickers or easily identifiable printed washi tape under the clear packing tape as tamper evidence.  Takes seconds, but saves a load of headache later. I also tape padded envelopes as I had someone pry one open and claim I didn’t put things into the package. 🙄 the photos clearly showed it was peeled ever so carefully open yet had tear small marks. Now a wrap of super sticky tape around the closure solves that. 

That washi tape bit it brilliant!

i love warmth of a house fire in the winter.

Sculpt skull candle molds.  Seriously. Anything skull sells really well to my weird crowd.

Yep. Mine too.
