  1. I just placed an order with NG. It will be here Monday. Of COURSE I did not order either of these. I just added a cube of ICS Cinnamon Buns to a few cubes of their Pumpkin Apple Butter and I got a very nice Pumpkin Bread. Just wondered what people thought of NG's Cinnamon Buns or Iced Cinnamon Rolls. Worst case I will just order 1 ouncers of these two when I order larger bottles of other scents. Here is hoping both of us get some answers from others!
  2. I really like ICS Cinnamon Buns. Have you tried NG Cinnamon BUNS OR Iced Cinnamon Rolls? Which Cinnamon Roll/Bun FO is your favorite? Thank you!!
  3. Stopped in a thrift store yesterday after a doctor appointment and I actually found another old glass saucepan with spout just like what I have. Only $2 and stove top safe! It is a bit scratched up and more worn than mine but should still work fine. Since I am used to what I have, a second of the same will be great!
  4. Thanks! That appeared a theme as I searched here but many of the posts were years old and I know things can change. Thanks again!
  5. Thank you! I did not know if I was to get metal only. Bless you for taking time to answer all my questions. Seems I am no longer getting answers to my many questions so I appreciate it! I cannot wait until I learn more so that I can be a help to others.
  6. I finally ordered a Presto Pot. Now I will need a ladle(s). Will any label do or do you have a personal fav or something I should avoid? I got the stainless Presto if that makes a difference. Thanks!!
  7. I need to add another pot. I use an old glass saucepan with a spout. I have a "warming zone" on my stove that keeps things, well, warm. Works perfectly for keeping the saucepan warm before pouring into it. Was wondering if you do not use a metal pour pot what you safely use. Thanks!
  8. They both are delicious but do not much smell like their names-to me. I was thinking more Pumpkin Cookie, Iced (or Frosted) Pumpkin Cookie for the Pumpkin Eggnog and even Pumpkin Bread for the Pumpkin Apple Butter. Have you renamed these yummy scents or did you stick with the original name? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!!
  9. I know that I will be getting twice what I need from Uline but I read such good things here about them. Of these three, which would you choose-or does it matter if mils are the same? Appreciate your feedback!
  10. Can you tell me more about this scent? I have looked a million times but have not ordered because I do not care for sweetened condensed milk smell and I guessed this would have that. Everyone else loves that scent but me!
  11. I do not know if this is Tennessee Candle or The Candle Source. Can you clarify, please? Thanks!
  12. I also do melts. I only do melts. I am also new and have not tried nearly what others here have tried. If I were starting or starting over, I'd first order: Sugar Cookie, Birthday Cake and Lemon Pound Cake from Peak. Toasted Marshmallow, Home Made Apple Pie, Baked Apple and Flannel Sheets from RE/AH. Cinnamon Maple Twist, Warm Cinnamon Rolls with Vanilla Icing from Candle Source.
  13. I LOVE the crates!! I also understand that while people have been incredibly kind here, information I get will be limited since most of you have businesses. I have been reading past posts and searching things here to oblivion. I am grateful for any tips and experience that I have received. VERY much! This show is the last Saturday in September and is outside in our beautiful corporate square. I believe that I will NOT have electricity. I get the electronic form soon where I will choose round, 10' or two 5' tables, how many chairs, what kind of help I might need, lunch choice and more. I will learn more then. They will have tax forms for us at our booth when we arrive. This is why I am doing this. Everything is provided, it is small and I will be alongside co-workers and selling (if I even sell a single bag!) to co-workers and their families. I cannot see myself doing other shows. I just make melts. Not enough to make a profit if I had hotel, booth fees, etc. My company cares about our employees and does so much for our community. I am grateful to get to work there and feel fortunate and excited just to get to participate this little show! Thanks again for the tips, willingness to help me at the expense of all your hard work and the encouragement!
  14. Well...guess which Lemon Pound Cake I have not tried that I am about to pour today? Peak! Lucky me for listening to you all to try Peak when I first inquired! Thanks so much!
  15. I have liked all that I have tried. Who makes your favorites? Thanks!
  16. Thanks for the tips! My company is first class. I have been there 26 years and my hubby 28. I guarantee that you have received our product and very likely have purchased our product for people who you care for and about. I am having fun planning the booth space! A painted window "sign" that I made years ago, a quilt for the tablecloth, bait buckets for my dollar packs (the way to get rid of scents everyone else likes but I do not), labels and to see the logo my co-worker is making this weekend. I do not have a business nor tax I.D. number and as a result I do not have business insurance. I will call my insurance agent (my best friend) and see if our million dollar umbrella policy would cover anything that would arise from an incident involving my wax. We'd love to have you come work with us, Darbla. I love the company (family owned and privately held) and products. It would require you to move to Kansas City, though! haha! Thanks again. I really appreciate your willingness to be open and honest to help me.
  17. Mine are out for delivery today. Will get some in wax tonight and tomorrow. Will let you know what I think!
  18. My flat 4x6 bags will not hold 6 of my 1" tarts. I know I need a gusset and found that Clear Bags had a 4x8 gussetted bag. May be a touch big but that is better than too small to tie closed. Have you had experience with them? Other places you'd have me look? Thanks!
  19. Thank you. I will check that out. I have no idea if I will even sell a single bag but I want to do things properly. Thanks, again!
  20. I am doing a small art fair at work. I know I should safety sticker the back of my tart bags even though I do not have a business and will not sell beyond this one show. Would it be better to buy preprinted safety stickers? Most I can find are written for candles rather than melts. I'd appreciate your direction very much!
  21. I work for a very large corporation. A very creative large corporation. Well, 2 years ago, they offered the opportunity to have employees FREE OF CHARGE sell stuff they make (we have hundreds of artists here). I have been bringing in my wax melts for co-workers who I could talk into a getting plate melter. They have really liked them. Some co-workers who participate in the event encouraged me to email the lady who coordinates it and ask if by chance anyone backed out who initially committed. She messaged me right back and said the timing was perfect. The tent company called to say that she could have more tents. Later I get to choose layout and tables. So, I get a free tent, table, chairs, advertising and they even provide us bottled water and nice boxed lunches. It is on a Saturday only, late September just from 10-5. Just bring your stuff and set it up. I do not make enough to ever pay for booth space so this will just be fun and pay for my supplies and new stuff that I will need to buy. I plan to offer just 12 scents. I'll be able to melt and enjoy what does not sell. My plan is to use little 4 oz. Mason jars as testers/sniff jars. I have a bunch of wire locker baskets that I plan to use to hold the bags. I found some cheaper labels than what I had been buying. A couple of artists want to make me a "logo" so I quickly came up with a company name. Guess that I will be buying a Presto pot. Glad that I have 2 full months to prepare. I have started a spreadsheet of things to decide, make or buy! Any tips you can offer this rookie?
  22. Mine were just ordered today and I got a notice have already shipped. Hope to have in wax this weekend!
