Soy Candles

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 6, 2007, 4:57 PM
::News::

:iconfreyals: asked me for some information about the candles I make, so I thought I would post it in here in case anyone else should be interested in them.

I make handmade scented soy candles. Why soy candles? Check out the following link for a list of the benefits of candles made from soy wax versus candles made from paraffin wax. [link]

I make jar candles as well as wax tarts (for wax melters/warmers). I carry three different sized jars:

08 oz. Mason Jars w/ gold metal lids - $5.00 ea. [ pic ]
14 oz. Apothecary Jar w/ glass lids - $12.00 ea. [ pic ]
22 oz. Apothecary Jar w/ glass lids - $16.00 ea. [ pic ]

Tarts come in bags of six or twelve:

Six tarts - $3.00
Twelve tarts - $5.00

The following are the fragrances I currently have available:

(note: BBW = Bath & Body Works dupe, Y = Yankee dupe, * = Best-Seller)

Atomic Fireball Cinnamon
Birthday Cake *
Black Cherry
Blackberry Sage (Pier 1 dupe) *
Blueberry Cheesecake

Want to order something but don't see your favorite scent listed? Let me know and I'll do my best to find it through one of my suppliers. People often ask me which fragrances are my personal favorites, so I'll just tell you now, in case you're wondering: cinnabun, pink sugar, vanilla, hot apple strudel and blueberry muffin. They're yummy enough to make this diabetic drool! :giggle: If I should run out of a fragrance, I will try and order more as soon as possible, or I will give you the option to replace it with something else.

Shipping rates vary based on location, weight, and size of the box. All items are shipped via UPS which I've found to be the cheapest alternative and also comes with tracking & free insurance (up to $100). I will be happy to give you an approximate shipping quote prior to purchase. For international orders, other shipping methods may be used because UPS charges a fortune! o.0

All of my candles are made-to-order, so it may be several days before they are shipped, as I will have to make them and let them 'cure' before they can be shipped.

Payment method accepted: Paypal (e-checks through Paypal take several days to clear, so please keep that in mind)

If you would like more information, feel free to note me.

XOXO,
Brandi


P.S. Thank you SOOOO much, Scott! I love you! :hug:

Dumb question: What is a "dupe"? And, what's the difference amongst the ones you list? What's the difference between BBW and the others? I've never heard these terms before. :o

Not a dumb question at all hon'. It just means that the fragrance is a duplicate that someone made of one by another company. The Y means it is a duplicate of a fragrance made by Yankee Candle company. The BBW is a duplicate of a fragrance by the Bath & Body Works company, etc. :) Hope that helps! :D

I hadn't ever heard of them mysef until about 4 years ago. Mike's friend at work was selling soy candles for his son's school fund-raiser and bought one for me because I was such a Yankee Candle whore at the time (and those suckers are like $30!). I absolutely LOVED it! It lasted so much longer and it didn't turn the jar all nasty black like the Yankee Candles and others I'd bought did. I liked it so much, I decided to try and make them. So, I bought a little soy candle kit off of Ebay and made 2 really horrible candles. HAHA! So, then I started researching it a bit more and joining different candlemaker boards, etc, and spent about a year just testing and learning the ropes and finally got it perfected. I've been making them ever since. Now every room in my house has candle supplies stashed away in it. I love making 'em! :D

LOL! My 14 oz. and 22 oz. jars are very similar to the Yankee jars... but with flat lids instead of the domed ones. :) I had Dr.'s appointments and stuff today so I forgot to take pics of jars, but I'll try and find some pics online of the ones I carry and link them in the journal in case you want to see them. :hug: Thank you again, for encouraging me to post this info. here hon'! I'd been procrastinating on it for far too long! :D
