    Really great candles! Love the logo too! I hope you get slot of orders from this :-)

    Thanks guys that really makes me feel better. I don't want to sell people bad soap.

    I have tried searching everywhere on here and the internet for this specific question. So can a batch of M&P that you have scented, poured, molded, and cut ever go bad? Does it have an expiration date? I have a few batches that are about 6 months old. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!:-)

    Hey Ecco, how are you doing shipping that cheap? I would love to be able to do that for my customers but as of now I am using USPS flat rate medium and large boxes. The medium box is $10.50. Would love for you to share if you can.

    Really lovely! I think it looks great! Awesome pictures too!

    Thanks Chris! I think I'll get a sample then. How did your customers like it? Was it popular scent for you?

    Thanks Luminous! I will look over at Peaks. What do you guys think about Select Shades for M&P?

    Thanks Candlebee I'd hadn't even thought of those ideas! Also I've been reading on different colorants for M&P. I'm still unsure as to which will work for me. (I know i will have to do some testing on my own) but does anyone have any recommendations or favorites or a place to start from?

    Hi Noodle, Yes my labels are basically just like my candle labels. The scent name is a different color. I guess that was my thinking was that's how my soaps that do look all the same would be distinguished from each other. My other thing was all my soaps match my candles. So if you like the candle scent you may like it in a soap too. :-)

    I found there candle FO and this FO was not there so I am assuming it is only B&B safe.

    I really appreciate all the input for you guys so far. It does help to have an outside option. I will look into lowering my price. I like Candlebee's idea for the 4 for $15. I'll try that at my next show. I have made most of the soap already so I'll have to wait to possible to color my soaps later. For now I can retake pics and sell the properties of the soap. I have to have a drop down menu for now cause my web host has a limit to products I can post. Again thanks for the help so far!! :-)

    Hey Guys! I am wonder about Brambleberry's Sleighride FO. Is is approved for soy candles because it doesn't say? Has anyone had any experience with this FO? Do you like it? Thank you! Here's the link if you want to check it out. http://http://www.brambleberry.com/Sleigh-Ride-Fragrance-Oil-P3924.aspx

    Thanks so much olebean! I will definately be checking that out.

    Hi guys! I wanted some advice to get my M&P goats milk soaps to move. My soy candles are doing great but not the soap. My candles are my main product and the soap is just a side item. Is it because they are M&P that people aren't really into them?whatever tips or advice is much appreciated!

    I don't make votives yet but when i do I will be using this mold i think.

    I have a small bank even though I live in downtown Atlanta. There is the same teller there everyday and one other lady and everyone else is in the offices. Not very friendly IMO so the bank option doesn't work for me in my area. I wish it did though.

    I like being creative too! If I see "plain Jane" names I am less likely to smell it cause I feel like I've seen it before. I am always looking for new and interesting candle names or even the scent themselves but that's just me. I think whatever works in your area is what you should do.

    I wish I could find this type of candle warmer. It has clean lines and would go really well with my whole style of my site and products but no one carries it that I have seen. The pic is from a girl in my area that sells soy candles and breakaway melts. I wish I could ask her but I know that's not going to happen. LOL!
  19. jackbenimble
    Sorry to that. I hope you get things worked out.
  20. jackbenimble
    Ditto! I love square! Has made it really helpful when someone doesn't have cash!

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I am still learning everyday. I guess my next one will be in November at a local high school. Also thanks to Candybee and Twoscentsworth for saying "cutiepie" Made me smile :-)

    That's the table I have too! The 6 foot foldable one. i got mine at Target.

    I order my wicks, wax, jars, and lids from LS. I love them! I also use their Autumn Harvest FO. The best fall scent ever IMO.

    Hi Everyone! I wanted to share some pictures of my first craft show. It wasn't a real craft show per say. A friend got several of us together and called it A Spring Wellness weekend. There was a jewelery person, a skin care person, a yoga person, a acupuncture person and I had my soy candles and M&P goat's milk soap (which i forgot! Oops:shocked2:) She didn't charge us a dime so this was a good opportunity to get out there and make my mistakes. I had about ten customers that bought my candles. So it was a good day for something that wasn't advertised that much. Hope you like my pictures and if you see any place for input let me know.

    I have been reading the Tips for Craft Fairs for sure. I haven't read it all so i don't know if I'm reposting something that's already been asked. (i know the veterans on here hate that) But thank you SOW for your input I was hoping you would respond because you tell it like it is. Anyway maybe sometime soon i can give everyone here an update or a success story. Thanks!
