Luminarias Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hello there,I have been reading this forum for years and although from time to time I have commented with some knowledge that I had or to give a congratulations I can't remember a time I ever started my own thread. Not that I haven't had questions but I usually found my answers doing a search; but anyway I just wanted to say that I have been a candlemaker for several years now and did as many have done, sold to friends(only after several years of testing of course), then at candle parties then finally at big Gift Shows. Now, I have made the plunge and my first retail location will open in less than 3 months. I have started a blog to chronicle everything between now and then and will continue to keep up with the blog once we are up and running. I thought I would let you know because I know there are others who have the same desire and maybe my experience will help you one day; as many of your experiences have assisted me over the years.M~www.Luminariascandleshoppe.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminarias Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks! and I truly will keep the blog updated as quickly as things happen. The electrician just finished today, I believe the plumber is next(bathroom) and then hopefully the painting of walls and staining of the floor will begin(I have pictures posted soon).

Luminarias Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Oh thank you ladies...our current logo is far from what we started with. I actually hired a graphic designer a few years ago to redo our logo and I am more than thrilled with the results. That was money very well spent. I had tried for years to come up with my own and actually did have a really nice logo before this one but in the end, I have this logo professionally printed which has been a huge savings in money and "time".
