samandkennasmom Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi all!Is anyone else soooooo ready for this time to come? I can hardly stand the wait! The only bad part is the season that follows it, right? Are ya all already pourin, I've started a month ago and it makes me so happy! I had a friend stop over and was testing 2 new pumpkin scents out and she bout freaked out that my house smelled so yummy. I wish it smelled as good to me as it does to everyone that stops over!

ksranch Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 YES! I've been pouring/testing fall scents for a few weeks now too - Fall/Holiday season is my absolute favorite!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Yes me too! I am on the hunt for some really good Fall scents, so I'm testing quite a few pumpkin, cider, and autumn scents and I'm testing with a new wax. I love the Fall season too! So many great scents to pick from, I want to try them all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samandkennasmom Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'm just so sad it is so short lived! If only it was longer! How sweet would that be? Awesome weather and great candle sales!HugsMichele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmnt Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 my CH loves it when I gear up for fall, they are his favorite scents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mparadise Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I am working on doing a through cleaning and organizing in my workshop this weekend (hint, hint...watch the classies this week!) to get ready to start pouring for my fall shows. I am scaling WAY back on the # of shows I am doing due to time constraints (a full time AND part time job in addition to the candles) so I shouldn't need as much stock or I would have started already. I already stocked up on my B&B stuff in anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Yes, I just poured my fall and Christmas testers this last week and will be test burning them soon. Hope to start pouring them the first week of August to get ready for my first shows. I'm so excited! can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The reason I like the fall season is the ka-ching I keep hearing in my mind. Keeping up with fall shows and fall orders is a lot of work but the great money helps a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samandkennasmom Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm so glad I'm not the only one! Sometimes I can't sleep at night thinking about different scents to try and mix with pumpkins. If anyone has some good ones they would like to share, that would be so sweet! I'm cleaning out my candle room too, so look out classes..200-300 oils is just plain hoarding, they should start a show on candle oil hoarding, I could start out the first show! LOL!!!!!HugsMichele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 This has been a really good summer season for me and I enjoy the coconut/fruit scents a lot. Fall has kind of turned into a lot of variations on apple/pumpkin or spicy type fragrances and has gotten kind of boring. I have standards and private blends but sure would like to have something different to jump start the season. The customers seem to be looking for botanicals all of a sudden, so maybe that's what I need to look for. Ideas?Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's has tomato leaves, herbs, and some woody notes to it. It's a very herbal scent. I hope it does well this fall. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyGCC Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I am also looking forward to fall. I love all the warm scents but mostly the weather. I am in Oklahoma. It has been really hot here. I want to be able to ship my candles with out worrying about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Fall is about over with for me, will just be some made here and there for about another month yet. Christmas has been going on for about 2 months now pretty steady. Everyone has been wanting their christmas stuff early for some reason.

Candybee Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Same thing last year. I started selling Christmas candles in late August and September. Sold as many of them as my fall scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 That's the beauty of re-labeling. What was Fall-Thanksgiving-Christmas-Winter-Spring-Summer; variations on a theme. Coming up with new names and descriptions is tricky though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
