I purchased a few dozen clear glass tealight holders from them about a year ago. No problems, they came fast, and I was satisfied with the quality. I'd order from them again. M.

Maybe it's just my nose, but most of the soy wax I've encountered has an unpleasant chemical smell - sometimes mild, sometimes strong. Scents dont cover it either. People should use and buy what they like, of course.

Can you keep the cooling candles in some sort of smaller, covered enclosures such as large boxes or ice chests so the heat of the candles will keep the area around them warmer for longer? Even a few large cardboard boxes with a blanket or two covering them?

Those are just beautiful. I enjoy re-stringing nice beads I find at yard sales, but yours are in a whole different league. Very impressive.

Thanks for the info. I'll start signing up for newsletters. Guess I should come up with another email addy for that. I can see where it would be great to live near a good supplier. Too bad I dont. Paying sales tax is less than some of those high S/H charges. :rolleyes2

Hi all, I have a number of things I'd like to purchase but dont have to right away. I'm new at ordering things for candles on-line and wondered what you consider the best sales. Not necessarily vendors, but % reductions, S/H, etc. What time of the year are the best sales for candle goods, and do you have any in particular that you look forward to? Any information would be helpful. Thanks, Meconella.

I use either two methods. Instead of popcycle sticks, I use flat, thinner coffee stirring sticks and hold them together with a paper clip at each end. For centering you can mark the sticks with a pencil or permanent marker in the center and then outward like a ruler. The second method is to use a length of metal mini-blind. I punch a hole into the center (large enough for a wick) with a nail or philips head screwdriver, then rule lines equi-distant from the hole outward to aid in centering. I use a paperclip to hold the wick tight.

What would you all consider a good sale? I've only ordered a few things online and dont really know. Is simply free shipping something you would consider good? And where do you hear about sales? Companies newsletters, or are they usually listed on their websites? Thanks. Meco

I use two thin flat coffee stirring sticks, held together with paper clips at each end. Easy to pull up and adjust the wick between them.

Thanks Ring, I'll give that a try.

Thanks, not real chocolate, but wax that looks like chocolate. I can get the color, but am looking for an effective pouring or drizzling technique. Of course having these in the house will probably make me hungry just looking at them.

Hi, I discovered that I have some fluted silicon molds for baking, and they make wonderful molds for candles. I would like to accent some of these with 'chocolate sauce' (or any other color of sauce) but really dont know the best way to do it - and would prefer not to damage too many by practicing. I did a search and all I found were recipes for real chocolate things, lol. I'd be grateful for any hints. Thanks, Meco

If the cost of raw materials come down, prices also will come down if the profits of a company suffer because customers are buying less, as I suspect they are. Sad to say, in our difficult economic times when people are trying to reduce 'unnecessary' spending, candles might be considered expendable by some, and sales may suffer. I hope not, but think it will be a lean Holiday season for many.

Very pretty. What color did you use?
