  1. I have Pure Seduction Amber Romance Moonlight Sonata and Midnight Orchid Whats some color ideas for these? I am thinking on one for the orchid but the rest I am at a lost. Any ideas? TIA
  2. I buy 10 lbs at a time, it will usually last a couple of weeks unless I am pouring new scents. I did have to buy 20 lbs one week and had already gone through 20 lbs the two weeks before, but this was for christmas and I had a bunch of special orders to do. I have a little bit left and will probably have to buy another bag soon, because I just got my valentine scents in.
  3. Thankyou everyone, this gives me a great starting point. I havent decided how I want to present them yet. When I decide that, I will go from there. I will probably try my own wax first just to see. Thats what testing is all about right. I have written down all the different waxs and types so that if I dont like what I have I will know what to try next. So thanks again, ya'll have helped me alot.
  4. I also just checked my supplier for my other wax. They have a wax called Phytowax V-1 votive wax, and its soy. I wonder if this would work.
  5. Could I try a blend or do I just need to get the soy idea out of my head?
  6. I have had different people ask if I sell melts/tarts, so I am looking into expanding into those. I have questions though. I have seen people ask if others were using tart wax. What is the difference? I use Nature Wax C3 (soy wax) , could I use this or no? If not can you give some suggestions? I would like to stay with soy if possible. TIA.
  7. I am putting together a list for my next order and want to get a few scents for valentines, easter and spring. What would be some good ones to try?
  8. Thanks for the responses. It sounds like something I could handle, so I am adding it to my list of the ones I'm interested in. Now here is another I'm looking at. Microsoft Office Live: Small Business. Need opinions on this one.
  9. Its called webs.com (formerly freewebs). You can build free websites. Has anyone heard of it and what is your opinion on it.
  10. I go to a farmers market a couple saturdays a month and I have had the lady who is in charge of this (she's also a vendor and is always next to us) leave her drinks, keys, papers, phone, ect. on our table. I would like to hide them but I dont wanna get kicked out. Oh she's also had the nerve to tell me I was too young to be married and have a kid. Yeh that was a bad day.
  11. I am doing my first three day festival November 20-22. (Very excited ) I was told there will be about 5000 people going through. I have only been selling my candles to individuals and at a farmers market every other saturday, so I only make small batches here and there. My question is how much more should I make to last all weekend?
  12. i make mine teal. (blue & green mixed). That's the about the color it came out. I put a tad more green than blue.
  13. Ok so I went with a blueish green color. Falls kept reminding me of a water fall. Also when I put it in wax it smelled just like an axe fragrance my husband has and its a blueish green. Thanks everyone for your input, it helped get the ideas goin.
  14. I ordered Bedford Falls from TCS. Its description says combination of woods, greens, and earthy notes to conjure up a small town feeling. The first colors that popped in my head was green and brown. I've been doin a lot in those colors lately and wanted to try something different. I thought maybe a gray. What colors do ya'll think would look good with this scent?
