When I use wick pins, I use metal wick tabs with my wicks. When I level the bottom of my candle the tab seals in and the wick won't come out. Another idea is to explain to your customer that the wick secure in place once they light it for the first time and that it won't move after that.

Hope this helps

Thanks Pam. I did look there, but must have missed it. I will check again. Their site changed so maybe I did not look in the right spot.

When you go on their site you will have to pick the type of jar that you are looking for and then there will be a tab for the lid selection. When I went there before replying to you, I missed it the first time too. They have recently changed their site around.

I use double size sheets.

The Jar Store has black lids with a ring, they might be what you are looking for, I have used them and they fit snuggly on the jar.

Hope this is of some help.

The 5" would be to small of a base to sit the bears. I use the 8 or 10" Candle pans to sit my bears. The best prices that I have found for these was Woodcrafters, but Bittercreek also have them at a reasonable price.

I really like her oils to. I can understand thinking they are expensive. Because I live in Canada so I find the prices quite reasonable because she ships USPS which saves me brokerage fees on my orders, compared to UPS fees.

When you click on the link just scroll about half way done that page and you will come to it. I just smelled a lime vanilla candle myself when I was out shopping last week and really liked the scent. I have just ordered some lime fragrance oil to try to blend it myself was hoping to work on it this weekend but my supplier is out of it til next week. I didn't order the Just by Nature oil because I just can't justify the cost of shipping and brokerage fees that I have to pay for one oil, so I ordered the oil from one of my Canadian suppliers to try it. Can't to experiment.

What are the web addy's for Cottage and Stockade?

I purchase some from woodcrafters their prices are the cheapest that I have found, even shipping and duty the prices are still cheaper then Stockades which I believe I payed around 5.00 a piece even with their quantity discount.

Here is the link to woodcrafter.

A thift store is where I bought my presto-like pots for melting wax. My only problem now is that I only have one temperature cord now because the others ones quite working, but I can interchange the cords with my pots. One of these days soon I need to make a trip across the border to buy a couple of presto pots.

Hi Pam - I just posted that very question right before you on the vanilla lime - I sure hope someone knows where to get a dupe of it...:smiley2:

I didn't notice it when I posted it. Hope somebody as some suggestions for a dupe too.

I was out shopping today and picked up a Yankme candle to smell, it was vanilla lime what a refreshing candle fragrance. Does know of a supplier that has this fragrance, I did a quick search but haven't found one yet. Also smelled their lemon lavendar what a nice fragrance combo.

I have been searching for glass 30ml bottles for refresher oils, but am having a hard time finding them. Anybody have good sources. I have found 50ml bottles that I can buy locally but they just seem to big for my liking, but if I figure price of bottles, I probaly can supply my customers with more refresher oil for their money. The 50ml bottles will cost me approximately .75 a peice with no shipping costs. I have found 30ml bottles but they would cost me 1.25 a peice which is just way to much money, and they also come with white lids which I just don't like the looks. As I am writing this I think that I am answering my own question, that I should just use the 50ml bottles. Either one of these bottles that I can get wouldn't cost me for shipping.

Thank you for any suggestions

I am burning warm vanilla sugar right now. Since I use BBW bath gel figured I'd make a container of the same. Boy I love this scent:D

I really like the warm vanilla sugar to. Whose warm vanilla sugar do you use, I love the supplier that I use, but am always on the lookout for different fragrances.

For ideas I would check out the bathroom air freshener scents at a local store. Get lots of ideas that way.

Thank you for the suggestion of looking at the bathroom air fresheners that idea never crossed my mind. Everybody here as given me so many suggestions, I've just got so many choices now.

Thank you

To wick my silicone molds I use a larger darning needle. Thread the darning needle with the wick like you would thread and push it through the bottom of your mold, just be careful when pushing it through the bottom that you don't pick yourself with the needle it hurts l've learned from experience.

I need some suggestions for scents that would be good for in a bathroom. I had somebody I work with ask for a dipped bear for a bathroom, when I asked her what type of scent she would like she stated whatever I thought would be nice. What a hard task to do. I'm thinking something along the lines of a floral but don't want a fragrance that would be to feminine. I need your help I keep thinking of different combinations but then second guess myself. At least I have some time to think about it Bitter Creek is out of their bears at the moment.

Please help me.

Thank you

Really nice candle, I don't know what type of candle plate that you are looking for. But have you thought of getting regular serving plate that are rectangular shaped. They would look really nice on them and giving them a look like they were real loaf presentation. Just an idea.

Pam F

Village craft and candle have Presto pots but they are extremely expensive there. Check out places like value village I've gotten 3 presto kettle type from there for about 7.00 each. The only problem now is that my temperature controls have gone on 2 of them but still have 3 pots just have to switch the cord between them.

fyi peaks won't ship to canada anymore unless u already have an account with them... i tried to order from them not too long ago

How long ago was it that you tried to place a order with them. I placed my first order with them last October, and there was no problem with shipping at that time. This is also when I set up my account with them.

Pam F

Thank you, that was the size I was thinking of but just wasn't sure.

Thank you

Pam F

I'm different I use a wide putty knife to cut it up, works really well for me.

Pam F

I am wanting to make refresher oils to go with my primitive potpourri and also to sell for burners. I am going to mix it with DPG. My question is for those of you who sell it, I was wondering what size bottles you usually sell. I tried to search the forum found many things about refresher oils but not this general question. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

What about a outdoorsy scent, seeing as people who like horses are usually outdoors type people. Sorry I don't have actual fragrance suggestions.
