Happy New Year! 

My 2011 ended on a very positive note, having “my boys” with me over the holidays and a great month of December sales. I am so blessed to have all of your support!

Personally, I’m not one to make “resolutions,” but I do have goals, many of which are candle related this year. In this edition, I have two new product lines to introduce to you, and more are being planned and tested for the upcoming months.

So much of my business has increased through word of mouth, and I hope this will continue through 2012. I am currently seeking opportunities to network with wedding planners, to establish a greater retail base, and to break into fundraising promotions. If you are connected in any of these areas, I would truly appreciate your referral.

Thank you again for all of your support. Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2012.
 

Another new addition to my product line is the Cocktail Glass Candle!  These cute candles truly are cocktail glasses which I was able to get for a steal at a Libbey garage sale, so I am able to offer a smaller candle for you at a bargain price!
 
Any fragrance you enjoy in the 12oz. candle or tealights is available in the cocktail glass candle for only $7.50. These candles are shrink wrapped in order to ensure the fragrance is contained until you are ready to burn.

Why not buy two and enjoy a cocktail with a friend when your candle is spent?

They're Here! Votives!

So many people love candles, and it’s been fun to see people’s reactions to what I sell.  I truly listen to the comments and feedback I receive from my customers, vendors, and of course, my friends.  I’m excited to announce that I am now able to expand my product line into another popular candle product...votives!

In order to accomplish this, I needed to take some time to experiment with other wax types.  When I first decided to sell my candles, I had found a commercial brand of wax that I “understood” and could predict.  Unfortunately, this brand was formulated specifically for container candles and not for free standing types such as votives.  I also wanted to ensure I could create a quality candle that would hold the fragrance and color all of you have come to expect.

Creating votive candles has allowed me to expand into soy wax. As many of you know, soy is an eco-friendly wax that is renewable and less harmful to our environment. However, you may not realize that paraffin is the premium wax to hold color and fragrance. I have now created a custom blend of soy and paraffin waxes which accomplishes the best of both worlds.

Fragrances in my votive line are being added slowly so I can thoroughly produce and test each scent for quality purposes before making it available to you. For a current listing of what fragrances are available, please click the photo above.
