Not sure if this belongs here, but I just found course Himalayan pink salt at my Grocery Outlet. 2 pds for $3.99

I've only used the lemon verbena yankee type. It is great in 464 at 1 oz p.p.

Thank you @GailC for letting us know about this!

wow! I just put 6 dozen apothecary jars and lids in my cart. The shipping would be over $100. Of course I just bought wax and I am broke but this is too good to pass up.

Same here! But lately I have a whole bunch of spigots that won't fit my new bottles.

Love the red. Bet it smells wonderful!

Wow! Lots of great ideas. I'm afraid I may have to make more of this blend, lol

@Sarah S I love them all! Now which one do I pick?

I did a blend of cinnamon and musk. Not crazy about it, lol, but I hope someone will like it enough so I can get rid of the clamshells I made. I smell more cinnamon than anything, but not enough to call it just cinnamon. I had named it spicy musk, but didn't go over so well. Any ideas?

You can find some fairly inexpensive at Boscovs.com. Free shipping over $49 and 20% off promo code RMNBOSDEAL

I am home based, but zoning doesn't allow me to sell from here. I will make arrangements to meet up and deliver to loyal, local customers, but I won't travel far. I have just one wholesale account. It is local so I deliver to them. I actually maintain the inventory and stock the shelf myself. I come in one day and see what is needed to replenish, then make and deliver. I have a spreadsheet type invoice with scent names and sizes and prices that I tally and total. I have them write a check to me on the spot at delivery. As far as size and equipment goes, it really depends on the size of the wholesale account(s). I think @Trappeur does a lot of wholesale so maybe she will chime in on this.

What wax are you using? I use a single htp 1312 with 464. Liquid dye also. But that was before soy wax got so wonky.

Maybe all the words Pink Fairy Dust in the pink color?

I'm with @barbaranj on this one. Love it! Even if there was an orange-ish filter, it might look pink-ish. Great job as usual Trapp.

I like that name, bet you will make some beautiful labels.

I rename it spun sugar

@TallTayl Any idea when the prices are going up? I am gonna be 3 hours from Reno next week, (I could pick up some 464 from candlescience). Not sure if I need to get some right away or do you think it can wait a couple months?

I am loving mint condition. may have to steal that one myself!

Peppermint Mist sounds like spring to me.

Wow, I did not know this! Changing all my "type" names right now. Thank you!

I re heat the wax. Just wax in the presto. Color and scent in the pour pots Occasionally I will use up the wax in the presto and wipe it out with a paper towel before adding fresh wax. But for the most part no cleaning.

Well, I 'm just so happy to have two separate work spaces now, one side of the room for candles, one side for M&P soap. Anywho, I'm working away at the candle table, and thought I'd get some goats' milk M&P melting. Put it in the micro for 30 seconds, got busy with candles....A few Minutes later I realize the micro is still going. I had set it for 30 minutes! That SH... stuff was boiling away and phew did it smell bad. Ok lesson learned, never doing THAT again, (I hope)

I try to add new scents at least 4 times a year. It just depends on how much time I have to test. I try to use my existing fo's up by trying new blends...thus a "new" scent is made. I also discontinue some almost every season if they are not good sellers. When I discontinue I will still make that scent if a customer requests it (and I have any FO on hand).

can't help you, but glad to you're back

lol, that's why she posted the same thing 3 times above...lol, lol
