tonyalc Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Oh. My. That looks INCREDIBLE!! I love your display and the candles that you have too are nice! Thanks for sharing that, you certainly have it all together! I'm still in the stages of clearing off the nick-nack shelves to display mine and I'm running out of room.

The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 You have tried so many different containers! I have never seen a candle in a sugar shaker. Guess I dont get out much. Seems like they would work great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crafty in SC Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Those are some really nice shelves! Boy have you been busy making candles! Very nice work! Loved the ones in the sugar shakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Your shelves look fantastic and I can't believe how many candles you've made - do you ever sleep? LOL. BTW are container candles really popular in America? You hardly ever see them in Australia - pillars seem to be the way to go over here. Don't you just love these little cultural differences - fascinating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yes, container candles are very popular here. Of course, I don't do pillars so I can't compare the two! But from my personal experience, it seems that containers generally have a stronger scent throw because the softer waxes generally hold more fragrance (of course, maybe I just haven't had "good" pillars--I keep thinking I'll try them someday but haven't made the time yet!). I have a full-time job and just pour candles on weekends and at night so I have lots of things on my "to-do" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemomma Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I can't find how to edit the thread and obviously I didn't know how to size the picture!I'll try again with a different picture and hopefully the moderator will resize that one.I have that shelving as well! I have had mine for quite a few months and they have held up really well..Great pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallbabydoll Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Wow!!! I am not only envious of the shelves, but the amount of product you have made up, and the fact that you have 2 candle rooms! I still work in my kitchen and have one little 4 drawer cart that holds most of my supplies and equipment. Well everything but my wax and fos. Someday..............

Corence Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Man I have so much work to do now Everything looks nice. I could use some shelves like that, but first I need a place to put them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von691 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I envy you. Wish I had shelves like those, you sure have been busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMercier Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I just saw some like those at Ikea for $34.99. They only have 3 shelves, but it's a start for some of us. I just got their new catalog the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 TallBabyDoll, I worked out of my kitchen for several years, too. Then I decided my daughter's room was being wasted--she hadn't lived there for a couple of years, so I gave away her bed and took over the room! I set up tables in there to pour and shelves for my supplies, and boxed up the finished candles. Then when anyone wanted to come to the house to buy candles I had to drag out all my boxes for them to look through (because I certainly never had a full case of any one fragrance!).So after my son got married 4 years ago, I decided to set up my craft show display and leave it out so people could see what I had made up (and for my own use--to know what I was running low on). That has worked out well, but DH and I got really tired of unloading the candles, tearing down the displays to take to a show, then putting them back together when we got home. So I've been looking for shelves to leave set up for a couple of months.Corence--you just need to kick your kids out and take over their rooms! Mine laugh because they can't even come home to spend a night--but they don't really want to anyway.And, EMercier, that's a fantastic price! We don't have Ikea stores around here--I've heard them mentioned often and would love to visit one. I didn't know they had catalogs--thought they were stores only. Now I'm going to search them out and sign up for a catalog! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I am waiting for my daughter to move out for college so I can take over her room (don't tell her then she won't leave)! I really would love to have 2 of those shelves! Awesome collection you have there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Those shelves ROCK! I am in the process of moving ALL my candle supplies to the basement.It won't be an easy task, but I need my house back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 I've often wished we could pick up our house and slide a basement under it! Of course, with our pack rat tendencies, it would be full of junk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanny1978 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I am just starting to make candles and I really like the sugar shakersI bought a few at Big Lots For Almost $1.00 EachIs That A Good Price?Thanks Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 I got these painted ones at Dollar Tree and they also had non-painted, and of course everything at Dollar Tree is a dollar. They had the plain ones at Dollar General and they used to be $1, but I noticed that lately they've gone up to $2!!! I was very happy to find these painted ones for $1 and not have to pay shipping.
