  1. I pour mostly paraffin, the only soy I do is unscented t-lites.
  2. BUMMMPPPP!!!! I love love love this thread!! Never knew it was here!!
  3. Oh yea!! We stopped for almost 4 years - been in it for almost 11 years. We are in the process of starting it back up ....slowly. When I stopped it pretty much cold turkey lol. I had 3 wholesale accounts too. they were happy, but I was so sick and and tired of it back then I couldn't stand the thought of pouring another candle. I eventually missed doing it after a few years so now we are back at it
  4. WOW!!!! Very very nice and professional looking!! They did a good job! Love your green bottles btw!
  5. Wow.I would have never thought of this. Guess I'm headed to Walmart to find one of these bad boys....hopefully they still make them.
  6. Do you have a site or somewhere I can buy some of your soaps ??? they look so flippin good!!! Plus I'm on a hand made soap kick now
  7. I don't carry that one sorry I wish I could help
  8. Yes! Definitely take the time to sniff them ALL! I could have left with almost every single one! But do make sure you get the nutmeg and ginger!! Edited to say : Chefmom I know where the Pancake Farm is!! I used to work at the Ephrata Hospital right down the road from there on 272! Very good food. I live in Berks, but I am close enough to Lancaster County, I am about 5 minutes from what they call the " Tri-County area" where Berks, Lancaster and Chester counties meet. Shady Maple is so well known around here, if you can't find it all you need to do is ask the first person you see
  9. You should be totally psyched!!! you will do awesome!
  10. I have 3 heat guns....got them at Walmart. I would be lost without them. Although I did burn my wrist on the tip once. Took the skin right off...I don't even want to know what the temp. was when it happened. I had just got done "heat gunning" (as we call it) the tops of about 10 candles all in a row. It was mighty toasty to put it lightly lol.
  11. Well if you do come up this way again....make sure you swing by Shady Maple Smorgasboard instead of Millers this time - it's on Route 23 heading towards Morgantown. Well Worth it.
  12. Iced Lemon Biscotti was one I got .....to me it smells exactly like a Lemonade Girl Scout Cookie. SO SO Good Edited to say that when I was there yesterday I was told they are phasing out the Tuberrose and Jasmine...so it will soon not be available through them. They have it on sale right now <edited. Specifics of sales not allowed in this section -- Scented>.
  13. As far as their oils not being up to snuff, I don't agree with that. I was just there yesterday again (they are 1/2 hour away from me so very convenient). When I was there I purchased 10 1 ouncers, I poured 3 of them last night, Daffodil, Buttery Almond Cookie and Cedar Garland. I must say they are right up there with some of the "big" boys. I had gotten Nutmeg and Ginger from them last week and made some testers which one I gave to my MIL to test for me, she had it burning this morning when I dropped off my boys before heading to work and the minute I walked in the fragrance literally smacked me in the face. I couldn't believe how strong it was, she said she only lit it 15 minutes prior to me getting there. I was talking to the receptionist at Fillmore yesterday and she had me smell about 15 new scents that aren't available yet, they test everything before they offer them, to make sure they will throw well. However, they test in soy. I use paraffin which very well could explain the why they are so strong. I am very happy with their oils thus far......but that's me Edit to say when I mean "big" boys I am referring to other FO suppliers
  14. I have only gotten Nutmeg and Ginger from them so far.....but it is incredibly strong. Def. A keeper! I have heard a lot of their oils are good.
  15. Thanks Beth for trying....I did too till I gave up and posted on here. Barbara thank-you I will have to check Scent works version out....I greatly appeciate everyones help!
  16. Okay, maybe I will rephrase....does anyone know what the scent description is? Is it straight cardamom or a mixture of other spices???? Any help at all would be great.
  17. Does anyone know if there is a dupe available for this? Did extensive searches and coming up with nothing.
  18. I can relate ...had the same thing happen to me. She copied everything right down to the labels and homespun. It's aggravating to say the least. I ranted about it on another thread on here. Just keep your chin up and get your stuff the H^&* out of that place so her stuff doesn't ruin your rep. Good luck!
  19. I was hoping to be pouring today but unfortunately the van had to into the shop today for much needed repairs and wont be done till later. So i have to wait until Monday to run to C&S for supplies :/ Guess this means I am spending the day with the little guys while my FO's are eyeballing me......
