crazzie Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Took my candles to a local craft show tonight. I was pleased with my set up and location, as I was leaving the room I saw some small jars of candles wrapped in celophane. He had 3 of them tied like they were candy. Nice candles - Dollar Store Candles! I went and found the organizer and said I have a question is this show suppose to be all handcrafted. She fumbled and said yeah well sometimes people sneak things in. I turned and said like these made in China candles! I said this isnt good with my Soy Candles right over there. She says oh you have nothing to worry about. Well 3 candles for $6.50 I think I do! We will see if they are taken off the table in the morning.

B@BlissStreet Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I hope you find some resolve, pronto. What a crap situation; I would do my best to market the best product. Good luck. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 That completely sucks. I hope the show organizer does the right thing and makes sure the "made in china" stuff stays outta there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisper Girl Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I would not worry too much about the "China" candles. She may sell a few, but most shoppers are pretty savvy and will realize what they are - $3.00 items for $6.50 lol. I bet you will do just fine at your show.

Kitn Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 That is so stupid on her part.Reminds of a lady on Etsy who asked for a shop critique, she had chocolate lady bugs for sale from the dollar store.She wanted $5.00 for 6 lady bugs, they were a dollar at the $$ store.

adillenal Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 There are many people that do not frequent the dollar store so would have no idea that is where they came from either. Sad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
