If you've known me for very long, you know I've been a scent junkie since I was a young girl (my mother used to lose me in our small town department store in Greenville, OH, but she always knew where to find me...with my nose buried in the candle aisle!!), and I made and sold candles for several years as an adult. A lot of candles. A whole lot of candles. Actually, so many that it ceased being 100% fun about halfway into it! I stopped making candles when I was pregnant with my oldest son. I sold and gave away all of my inventory over the last five years, so when I tried to find a fall favorite a couple of days ago to burn, guess what? There was not a candle to be had in this whole house! I really can't justify buying any, as I have dozens of one pound bottles full of scent, wax, and all the fixin's. Soooooo, it was time to blow the dust off the melter, and get to pouring! I must say...it's so much more fun to just be making a handful at a time! Looking forward to having a little flame flickering in the kitchen again, and the fragrance of fall wafting through the air!
I plan on making my favorite fall scents: Orange Clove, Apple Cider, Pumpkin 'n Spice, and Coconut Cream Pie, keeping a few, and selling the extras. These lil' guys aren't so little...they're nearly 3" tall, heavily scented with Orange Clove, covered in spices, and wrapped in a vintage Halloween wrapper that has four vintage images on it. I'm selling these at $3.75 each, and they'll be at Midwest Memories in Tipp City, or just give me a yell if interested. I'll set up an etsy store one of these days! ;)
Hope you're enjoying this beautiful fall-ish weather! We're off to Monnin's tomorrow, hoping to score some of the first cider of the season. Yum!
