Getting My Hands Dirty

I was always the little girl who wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. I remember one Christmas, I was gifted 9 lbs. of paraffin wax for candle making. I guess it was a sign that becoming a chandler would be part of my future.

It seems not much has changed. I welcome the waxy mess that sometimes comes with candle making. I’m also never quite sure of what I am planning to make until the idea hits me. That is why you will see various collections and jars. I realize that is not a conventional marketing plan, but I enjoy creating and hope that my customers will enjoy my creations.
