RobinInOR Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I love the feel of fall in the air - starts getting me psyched up for the holiday season. What kind of yummy fall/winter scents are you pouring?This weekend after market (only 4 more after this one ) I'll be finishing up a new wholesale order to ship on Monday, so lots of labeling and lip balm shrinking.Then I'm taking inventory and starting to ramp up stock for the holidays. I've already got all my supplies in I think - I don't like ordering after Sept. So this weekend will be lavender - L sage, L mint, L plain, face scrubs and serum, L lip balm, bath tea. I've got lots of lavender products. Have a great weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Leaving this afternoon to set up for a weekend show today. My market runs thru the end of October but my last one will be next weekend. I am booked every weekend thru mid-December so I will be a busy Candybee!

Crafty1_AJ Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Candles: Pumpkin Spice, Mango Papaya, Love Spell, and Pecan Pie re-stocks. I also hope to get a few fall pillars poured. Need to pour up a few container Christmas scents as well.Soaps: Re-stock of unscented GM. Hopefully a ylang-patch eo blend and perhaps a peru balsam and sweet orange combo? I should get my butt in gear on making Cranberry Spice soap, too.Lip Balms: Butter Pecan and Vanilla. Also need to re-stock Coffee eo lip balms and Iced Pineapple, as those are low. Need to re-tool my Chai Tea lip balm -- it's too strong. B&B: Need to make facial serum and scrubs. Cold weather's a comin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I continue to pour for my largest show of the year. Still trying to figure out and fix my Cinnamon Bunn candles. If it turns out to be to color then I will need to repour them with very little color and rename them!:undecided I have to order in my Balsam Fir and pour that as well. But at least I have wax this week!!CasinoKey WestChocolate BrownieApple PieBrown Sugar & FigBlueberryLavenderWhite Tea & GingerMontego BayThunder RiverFire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Finishing up Rapture (using rest of oil to make soap and pray it doesn't brown since there are no notes on it out there that I can find) and finishing Cinnamon Apple Berry. There's a show tomorrow, but testing never ends. Now that honeysuckle and lilac are stocked for now, maybe I can play with some other fragrances. Gosh that would be lovely! lol.

ShelleyBean Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Fall has always been my favorite season, and I've really been feeling it living up here in Washington state, it's been quite nippy at times lol. So this weekend I have a couple of orders for melts that I will get out of the way, then it's all fall here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heirloomoriginals Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I would love to be doing candle and soap stuff, but instead today I am painting, tomorrow we are laying floor in our addition and putting roof on (steel roof). If I am at all lucky, I may be able to start cleaning out my work area and getting ready to set up shop in there!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Phelps Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 No,no, you are not painting, you are talking to us. Had to sneak away a minute, hugh? Well I am getting ready for 4 top shows. Yeah..... I am sooooo ready. I am trying to invent some new scents. I get tired of pouring the same old ones. The problem is, I have so many now, I can't remember what I have made. I am already pouring Christmas. I have been selling fall since July. My customers are already asking for Christmas. Happens ever year. I am in Texas and it is 94 outside. Why they want Christmas, I am not sure. I guess they turn down the air condioner and play like it is cold. So what is in my pot? Lots of cinnamon smells. The store smells so good.
