Votives

I had a customer today email me and tell me my Lily votives she bought weren't strong smelling. What do you do, when you know they smell just fine. So I took them off of Etsy and will just burn them at home. I did offer her different candles for free ... I haven't heard from her yet. I never thought I would be upset and take this so personal. :(

New photos of my candles!





I always look on Etsy how other candles vendors are taking photos of their candles, so I can have eye catching photos. I even would read post on Etsy about how to take photos of your product. So with natural light, and by using the flower setting of my camera,and also using a awesome photo shop, I think my photos came out great. Now lets hope I get into more treasury's on Etsy!

Business is rolling along!



My husband sold his first puzzle on Etsy today, he also has been asked to do 50 puzzles for a customer! He wanted his puzzles to sell and now he is going to be busy making those 50 puzzles PLUS make all the puzzles that he sells at a local store PLUS all the puzzles for the big craft show in December. I know he can do it!

As for me, I have sold 1 5pk of votives on Etsy, 2 star pillar & 5 votives to friends. Business is moving along, just not as fast as I wish. My goal is to get candles sold daily and running to the USPS daily sending out my candles to customers. It will happen I just need to work on it :)

Thank you Patty for being my first online customer!
