Does anyone know if the e-clamshells have a little circle indent on the bottom of each cube? I have some like this and they are crap..very thin, and hard to close. If this is e-clamshell I know I don't want any more.

ive got an old dresser that i use for candle stuff, the large bottom drawer is just tall enough to stand 16 oz fo's up in. i wrote names on caps and alphabetized them.

Absolutely true! Thanks Moon

thank you all for the input...I was leaning towards the "no way, no how"...you helped me make up my mind

A fellow vendor asked me if I wanted to start sharing a booth with her and split the fee. She makes knitted items and makes a few parrafin pillar candles. ( I make soy container candles) anyway..I'm not sure I want to have both candles at the same booth (her main selling item is knitted but she wants to include the candles) I told her this would be competing against each other..she doesn't think so since they are different types of candles..."and besides I am not competetive" she said, " but that's okay if you are". I think I'm kinda insulted by that statement, but back to the question at hand..should I share with her? My business name says SOY candles and is pretty well known around town so might confuse people to see parrafin pillars. On the plus side tho, would be nice to have someone to talk to at the shows, less cost for booth and help setting up canopy. What would you do?

I thought they HAD to charge what the company told them? Don't know much about them except there are lots of reps here in my area..always a new person at the shows.

The name made me think of NG's cornbread scent. I have never tried it tho.

oh, lol must just be on west coast....sorry no help to you

dunno about replacement canopy but bi-mart recently had new ones on sale for about $60.00

I really like NG absinthe but haven't been able to sell many.. Not crazy about patch, but I KNOW lots of others love it so I just plug my nose and pour. lol

Thanks for the info...love your description of green tea lol...don't think it's supposed to smell like that. I haven't ordered any yet but I know what to stay away from now.

lovely!

You are so talented..they are beautiful!

One of my biggest sellers was a request from a friend too. She asked for a special blend...I played around with it, came up with something I liked, sent her a sample...she has never ordered it...but LOTS of others love it. (Go figure)

I'm drooling!

I've just recently added clamshells to my line and they are flying out the door! People are sooo glad to see I have those "things like scentsy". And then when they see that mine cost less they are even happier. I am not selling as many candles either but it may be the season..people don't want to have a burning flame when it is so hot outside? dunno.

Great idea about the metal counter..I'll add that to my wish list

Beautiful redraider! I used to wish for my dream home..now I just want a dream workspace, lol

I DO love meegga desk! i can totally see that working for me.

Sounds like my dream work area..how bout posting a picture?

That's exactly how I felt today, lol

That is a good idea Deb. I could use MY portable table and the rest of my family would not need to touch them. Thanks

okay mostly venting here..I just finished a large (at least for me) order of candles. I started at 9:30 this a.m., and what with only three metal pour pots and a couple glass measuring cups it takes a while....The only place I have to make candles is the kitchen, and there was literally not an empty counter while the candles were cooling. My "home from college" sons got all pissy cuz they could not fix anything to eat. Blah blah.. I wish I had my own workroom...some place that my candles could cool without SOMEONE coming in and moving them...before they are ready to move. Any one else still working in the kitchen? How do you all cope when having to share space?

Thanks nursenancy for the info..I may try some.. you are welcome kitn..I know we all need ANOTHER FO supplier (like a hole in the head)
