    Justa - I have tried Lemon Lavender from a few suppliers with no success. I've decided that I simply don't like the combo - no matter who the supplier is. I am a sweet smell girl (like you:)) and LL is not my style. Just wondering if you might be the same. Just saying.

    Yes, please!!! Cut, cut, cut!! We want to see them. I'm assuming that is what Candybee is impatiently waiting for.

    They look wonderful. I want one!

    Found a picture of one of the boutique shows. The lady putting on the show already had grids and tables up, so this is not my typical set up, but it works. Thanks for letting me share!!!

    I am finding that customer preferences can be very unpredictable. One show, I sold tons of body butter. I stocked up on it for the next show and did not sell one . My lotion bars, on the other hand, sold completely out that show. I had sold very few lotion bars before that. Candle melts and warmers sold awesome at one show and did not sell as well at the next. I guess what I'm saying is just keep on going, and see what happens next. Your candles are really beautiful, who knows - you might sell tons on container candles next show. Oh, and making 200 Euro on a 5 Euro entry fee is really awesome!!!!

    I've been in 3 craft shows in the last month and have had great success!! Yesterday I participated in a one day craft show and made 10x my booth fee. I also had 2 people ask if I would be interested in putting my products in their stores. I am beyond excited. I guess all the hard, frustrating, obsessive work is starting to pay off. Yah!!!

    I don't use el wax, but I use a softer parasoy blend. I put my clamshells in freezer for 5-10 minutes and wax just pops out.

    Love there Lilac and Linen!! Honey Gingerbread was just ok for me in melts. I thought I would use HG in a holiday soap, but discolored badly and irritated my skin!! Won't be ordering that one again, but others on this forum love it!

    Feeling guilty about the above post. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

    TallTayl, Where do you get your fos from? Could you pm me a detailed list and please be very specific? Oh, and would it be too much to ask for you to include your custom blend recipes and ratios? TIA.

    Love the J&J bedtime bath. I use it as my lavender scent - since I am not a big lavender fan. I really like it.

    Also want to add - I agree with you. It is very hard to decide on which ones to put in your line up. I've been making for a few years now - and I hope that with more time and experience it will become easier to keep steady inventory of scents. I change my line up too much. I had a customer call the other day about reordering a soap that I had discontinued. I told her I had one very similar - but she insisted that she wanted the exact same one. Hum, what to do?
  16. ktaggard
    I offer (for sale) about 30 scents in melts and about 20 scents in soap. I also have 8 scents in my new B&B line - which includes Body Butter, sugar scrub, lotion bar & bath bomb.

    Does millcreek have any sale going on right now? Just wondering?

    I love lotion bars!!!! Easy and awesome! I use a higher % Of soft oils for the winter. I am no expert at lotion making, but I have made a few lotions following recipes from the lotioncrafter website. My favorite is their silk therapy recipe. It is really great!!! Thick and silky!!!

    I hear you. Shipping can be crazy. I am trying to narrow my supplier list down. Never ending quest!
  20. ktaggard
    Thanks! I'm going to give it a try. Did you happen to try Pine/fir from Fillmore?
  21. ktaggard
    Not, candied yams again!!! Don't get her started!!!! Ravens loves her some LS Candied Yams!

    Just beware, it took me a month to get my priority 2 day package from BNC. I called them and they said they were having problems with the USPS in that area. I never have any problems with other suppliers using priory mail. That being said, I can't stand high shipping prices. I have dumped many a cart full of supplies when shipping seemed unreasonable. I find myself going with suppliers with flat rate shipping or ups that seems reasonable. I would like to think that suppliers don't pad shipping, but hum... Think they might.

    Kandlekrazy, I read all about your testing. Which one did you settle on, if you don't sharing?

    I just called this supplier. They are close to my parents house so I was excited to see if their oils would work or me. The lady I talked to told me multiple times that they were pure oils that you could apply directly to the skin. She did mention carrier oils once, which I guess you could define as a pure oil. Anyway, after my conversation, I decided that any oil you can apply directly to the skin would be too diluted for my liking. I don't think I'll waste my $. JMO
