Are those large consumer groups outside of Facebook? The collections, armoires, etc. remind me of the shaving dens men have on Badger and Blade, and perfume collections in some fragrance groups i belong to. Don't get me started on planner groups!!!

Some of the advice is must plain dangerous. I have backed away from many a thread

i mix oil dispersible TD with FCO in a bullet bottle. Then yes, I add a couple stainless steel mixing beads to shake and break up the TD.

I am too. Honestly, I don't love them.

I'm interested to learn how long the charge holds for. A friend has the new $29 one and it did not hold a charge beyond a couple of hours.

I'll try to reply with things i've picked up one by 1. Lots of good questions here.... That used to be the case. We would all list new things, or relist throughout the key search times of the day and get to the front. The most recent changes were about "relevancy" if you out up listings "relevant" to the buyers key word search with that particular string of key words in the name and tags you should appear closer to the front regardless of timing of the listings. This i have found to be true. I tried single listings with scent options and watched sales drop. It'l, IMO, a phenomenon of laziness and self-protection. Buyers want to see a pic of the exact item they will be buying. When making selections from a pick list what you see may not be what you get. pricing is all over the place. Those cheapo prices appeal to a specific set of buyers, but not necessarily "your" buyers. I am a chandler. Why would i essentially pay $14 for a 2"widex3"tall pillar candle with $12 in shipping? But i did because the shop was exactly what i wanted to shop from. So i along with 20k other buyers did, and waited several weeks for that little simple candle. It all comes down to your branding and tour market. For a while some commercial sellers were down grading photo quality to make themselves appear more hand made. In the end, cater to "your" market. Play with details until you reach them and they respond. I don't think price is the way to do it, in person or online. Even hobbyists need money to keep the lights on.

That's not an easy lne. You may want to contact Angie at TheHerbarie.com or Jenn at Lotioncrafter.com. Will your lip scrub be anhydrous? If so, you may be able to forego preservative, especially if packaging in very small portion sizes.

Gorgeous Trapp. Perfect for the type of products you make. I'd stop in for sure.

Trap, i am fanning myself after that description. Pipe smoke would be a perfect add. Puma, though not a single note oak, i love vanilla oak. It is what i imagine the inside of a whiskey barrel to smell like. Without smelling each of the new fo's it's hard to think about proportions or other notes to add. I don't need anything from CS right now, but am almost, almost intrigued enough to place a tiny order.

You're too kind Trappeur.

I might be tempted to go up one size now that i see the side pics.

Here's a thread that some members shared salt experiences with: http://www.craftserver.com/topic/104452-i-need-new-ideas-for-room-fresheners/?p=981021 What i like about the salt is that the variables are super easy to narrow down.

To test a new Fo i often use a few drops in just plain salt over the warmer.

Do you have a side view photo? I'd like to know this too.Is it throwing scent well in your opinion?

Violet?Lily of the valley? Opium? (Not the opium perfume, but an opium essence) Poppies? Labdanum? Benzoin (for a little sweetness) Vanilla, just a touch, so it does not discolor f making it into soap or creams. My mind keeps leading me toward of something feminine that a woman of the 1800's would wear. It will be easier to imagine once i smell them.

I'm a little slow tonight with a summer head cold... In the original post, has that one been power burning for55 hours?

Do you have lumberjacks on the mountain? Lumberjacks are sexy.

I cannot wait to read your review!!!!! With the flannel one, you could do a feminine companion. Whiskey and lace. Package all cutely and they will fly off your shelves.

I use either micas or micas with colored jojoba beads since neither will stain or fade under UV rays

Off the top of my stuffy summer head cold mind, i "smell" some wood essence, maybe an oak. Or maybe a corn bread. Oh oh oh bonfire bliss! Sitting around a camp fire after a long day of running the herd. Some dirt and dry grass would create a full picture. Your musk note added subtly would be interesting too, making it a sexy cowboy element.

Hi and welcome! Do you have any photos? Sometimes a pic is worth 1,000 words. Some initial questions: How deep is the melt pool? Too deep and the wicks can sag or slump making the wicks appear too small. What fragrance did you use? What other additives? What type of wax?

What fragrance did you use?

It took me a couple tried to find my voice on Etsy, but i learned a ton along the way.Maybe a sort of Etsy shop and/or web site critique within this board could be an option? So long as suggestions are constructive it could really help boost our shops.
