cozyaromas Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Well I just got back from my first Candle & Soap Conference here in Georgia, matter of fact it was my first conference ever for soap and candles. I had alot of fun, I got loads and loads of goodies plus I got to meet some of my favorite suppliers from Southern Garden Scent (Tony's Fragrance Oil) and Southern Soapers. I won a couple of raffles such as the new containers from Bayousome, they are plastic containers with a cork stopper and are good for bath salts. Hopefully, I will be able to go to another one in the next couple of months. Did a mention too that you get tons of discounts once you go to the conference for various suppliers?Wouldn't it be nice to have a conference for this forum, imagine how big it would be, maybe we can get together and learn alot from the various soap and candlemakers on this forum.

Luci Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I was there, too, and had a great time. Just got in from dinner with about 20 or so. I hated to come in early, but I'm beat!The suppliers were very generous with their donations, and the coupons for future purchases are wonderful. Got a ton of samples, etc, in the goodie bags, too. I'm taking Monday off to unload and put away all my stuff I bought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapmaker Man Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 :undecided I'm not sure about the one in TN but I will be at the one in Alabama. Paul will you be a vendor at the TN conference, will you have some molds for sale there? If so, I might see what I can do!!Yes, I will be set up as a vendor. Birdie asked me to do a demo too, so that will be interesting.:undecided I'm donating a TOG 8 Wire Log Cutter as one of the door prises. I'll be giving out discounts too.I have a great source of lye and am thinking about bringing 200 pounds with us and selling it in two pound lots. Have not figured a price yet, but about 1/2 of what Roebic's used to cost at Lowe's.PaulLots of molds to get made before then, as it is only a month away!*super banana* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozyaromas Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Wow Paul that cutter is tempting, the deadline to register is the end of this month, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapmaker Man Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Wow Paul that cutter is tempting, the deadline to register is the end of this month, right?I think so. I think there are around 45 to 55 attendees so far. You can milk a goat too! LOL Check the web site. I'll ask Birdie too. Here is the link if you don't already have it;http://home.earthlink.net/~tnscsocial/index.htmlYou never know, I may just have to give the mold away that I do the demo in too.
