                    Candlefind.com Reviews Our Candles...

                    Picture
                    _December 2011 we learned that Avery of candlefind.com had a chance to review some of our palm wax candles...  "their candles are all made from palm wax and with cool scent named after "destination" locations from all over the world. Cool concept right?... "  Avery thought so - but did she like the candles? - Read Avery's review...


                    The Truth About Palm Wax Revealed

                    Picture
                    Customers are always asking, where do we get our palm wax?  With rumors circulating that in South East Asia rain forests are being destroyed, endangering orangutan habitats,  many are boycotting palm wax candles.  Our palm wax does come from this area, however the real truth about palm wax is explained in the following article, http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Palm_Oil_Deforestation_Truth_or_Fiction.html .  Read for yourself how the rumors began, what Indonesia is doing to protect endangered species and the environment, as well as how palm wax is a true sustainable product.  It will make you think twice about what kind of wax candles you are burning and if they are good for the environment too!


                    January News

                    Picture
                      -  New scents?  Yes, we have some new candle scents coming.  The newest is Charleston Carnation Blossom!  Others to follow will include a Hawaiian and Old West collection with a few others in between.   Many of these will be announced here and on our Facebook page
                    -  Tea Lights are coming!  We started making tea light candles this past Christmas/holiday season and were a hit selling out as soon as we made them.    We're in the process of making more and as we do, taking photos and uploading those photos to our website. 
                    -  Wholesale shows in the future?  Possibly.  This weekend we checked out the Philadelphia Gift Show in Oaks, PA to see what they offer, meet and network with other whole-sellers and more.  It is a fabulous show and met many wonderful people and their fabulous products.  While there are  some financial matters to consider before making the leap, we do feel entering the wholesale gift show ring would be very good for building better relationships with other retailers in the Mid-Atlantic region.   Want wholesale info now?  Click here for wholesale information.
