Clear Black Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Oh just a 1000 you say? Lol, you say that with a bit of shoulder shrug as if selling 1000 candles in the summer is nothing new to you. I hope to be in that mindset someday TT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you asked me then if I EVER in my wildest dreams thought I would go through that many I would have laughed and laughed and laughed. It took a good 3 years there to build my story and figure out "who" I was as a merchant. I remember when buying a whole whole pound of a fragrance was a huge risk.

Clear Black Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 So I have to assume that this is your main source of income? I have never heard of a faire that runs all summer long. I imagine you need to be in your shop front all day correct? Where is this faire if I may ask TT? Do you have a weblink so I can read more about it, sounds very interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a weblink so I can read more about it, sounds very interesting http://www.renfair.com/bristol/. In Kenosha, WI 9 weekends from July through Labor Day. Hours are generally 2 hrs before opening gates through an hour after. Long hot days, but we love every minute of it. The Faire folk are our extended family. We see anywhere from 10k- 25k people a day. It is my main source of income for the year, supplemented by wholesale, and online shops including etsy. We keep busy.

wthomas57 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I use CandleWick as well for a couple wick sizes and get them the same way. I order all my wicks by the 1000s, but there bag seems extra ridiculous to me. Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 I know right! That bag is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthomas57 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Its kind of a rats nest too. I much prefer how CS bags theirs... but hey, cant complain. CW does a good job and they are cheap for a custom wick builder! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
