ah-soy Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well hmmmmm, I actually bought a candle at Wally World today. Not to burn but to try and track down the jar. From info on the label I've figured out it was made by HCC Brands (Hanna's Candle Co.) in Arkansas. My guess, would be that it's a special order jar just for them but though I'd give it a shot here.Anyone seen this anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 That's really cute! I wonder what the minimum would be to special order something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I sure do like that jar and if my streak holds true - it'll be too expensive for my budget! I hope we can locate it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Just an update...unfortunately I haven't found the jar :undecided but decided to go ahead and burn the candle...the cold throw was amazing 'Spiced Apples'. All started out well, nice steady flame etc. I looked over 1/2 hour into the burn to see a thick steady stream (not just little puffs) of pitch black soot shooting up at least 3 feet high...yikes!If I could just find this jar I sure as heck could make a better candle than this! The search continues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauren8479 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I will keep my eyes peeled since I am on a quest for new jars. I love this one too. It screams charm and whimsy, but is sophisticated at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escentiallysoy Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 It is a beautiful jar. I will keep my eyes open for them as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Just bumpin' up for the weekend...I'm still looking, but no luck so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineG Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I like the jar. Do you know what the jar is called? What is the name of the company that produced the candle? I'll try to help find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 She said it was HCC Brands (Hanna's Candle Co.) I went to the site and did not see that jar on thereI agree that maybe the name of the jar would help. It is real cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racooper Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 When I googled it all I could come up with was Kathy Ireland. Did anyone else get that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineG Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I contacted Debbie May, WSP and engaged her help in trying to help us find this jar...as well as the possibility of carrying it for us.....she told me that this jar is custom made in China for Hanna Candle Co.

ah-soy Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thanks everyone for searching for me! I also got the Kathy Ireland site when I googled this. Incandessence...very kind of you to make that call. I had a feeling that would be the case since Hanna's is a super large co. (large enough to be in Wally World). The candle is lovely, but I'm sure not impressed with the quality.Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, we can all get together and buy a bunch wholesale, take out the contents, wash the jars and re-use them? But with all the fuss about TM's lately, probably not such a good idea...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 These are similar, though not exactly the same.http://www.yessupplyco.com/montana_jars.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Night Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Ah-Soy, I did the very same thing! I loved the jar and the apple cinnamon smelled so good...in the store. I bought 2 of them. When I was burning one I started smelling something chemical. I couldn't believe something that smelled so good cold could smell so foul when lit. The other one is in the closet. It smells okay sitting in there. I'll never buy another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know how they can get away selling these. They should be labeled "Pretty to look at but DO NOT BURN" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineG Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Doesn't it just drive you crazy that you work so hard to make a nice clean burning superb QUALITY candle and you consistently have to try to sell this to the consumer who comes back with "I can buy the same thing at walmart for less than 1/2 the price".

I try to tell them in a nice way that you get what you pay for..Half the price will get you half the quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van_yulay Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Email these guys and ask if they can find it. I have been ordering for years and sometimes they have found them and sold them to me. Hope this helps!! Monicahttp://www.containerandpackaging.com/itemlist.asp?p=10&itemtype=Candle_Glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
