Cosy Candles' Ramblings

July’s Upcoming Events

I’ve got a busy week coming up. Lots of events crammed into one week. Here’s a quick round-up, don’t forget that you can view my events by clicking on the upcoming events tab. Tuesday 7 July I will be at the popular Pamper and Gift Night at The Wick Community Centre in Wickford. This [...]

June Month End Round Up

So, how did the last 2 events in June go for me? Well I think it’s safe to say that June is a poor month in which to be selling candles. Yep, June has ended as it started, pretty crappy to be honest. But it isn’t surprising, I mean candles are there [...]

June Mid Month Update

Hello peeps!! Just giving you a quick round up of how this month’s events have panned out. Well, the summer months are generally fairly slow for candle sellers and so far this has proved true. The last two pamper nights were busy in terms of footfall but it looked to me like [...]

Upcoming Events for June

Just thought I’d post an update on this month’s events.  No craft fairs booked for this month only pamper nights.  That’s no problem as last month I did 3 craft fairs, so it kinda works out in the wash.  Right then, if you’re local to South Essex, grab your diaries and make a note of [...]

Maybe I Need A Sat Nav

Yep, it’s official I got lost on my way to yesterday’s event at Matching.  I’d printed off the direction off the Internet. Now usually they’re quite good and everything was going well till we hit the village of Moreton. That’s when it all went wrong. Yes, it’s all very well the printed [...]

About Me:
My name is Ruby and I've always loved burning candles, so much so, I decided to make them myself. I soon found myself making them for family and friends and have done for the past couple of years. They all convinced me that they were so much better than any shop bought candle. I now make them with the help of my lovely daughter LJ

Do you Squidoo?

For those of you who Squidoo there is no need for an introduction but I’m sure that there are plenty who probably have never heard of Squidoo. In this post I will try and explain what Squidoo is and how you can use it as a useful tool in promoting your craft business.

So what is Squidoo? Squidoo is basically an information website. It is a collection of lenses on a myriad of topics. A lens is an informational website offering expert knowledge on just about anything. Lensmasters are the people w… Continue

Pictures Of My Display

Just thought I'd post up some pictures of my table layout from a Ladies Pamper Evening that I was invited to attend. It was being run by a local Townswomen Guild.

Here's a couple of our table.

How To Burn Your Candles Safely

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the amount of people who just haven’t got a clue on how to burn a candle safely!

I’ve got friends who tell me that they just light a candle and then just leave it burning all day, even while they’re at work or out shopping.I always have a right go at them about it. I ask them if they read the warning labels I place on my products. Most don’t or they’ll just skim or ignore it. I then go on to explain what could happen.

With pillars, if you exceed the m… Continue

How Do You Get Your Candles To Smell So Nice??!!

I'm often being asked how do I make my candles and get them to smell so nice. I always say it's a company secret and would have to eliminate them if they knew ... LOL!!

Seriously though, it isn't too difficult to make candles. The problem lies in getting the right combination of wax, fragrance, and colour and wick size. Ask any candle maker and they will tell you of the months of frustration. The amount of money invested in raw materials just to get a product that will burn correctly, give both… Continue

What Does Triple Scented Mean

I was asked the other day what triple scented meant. You may, if you've been browsing candle sites, have seen candles described as being "triple scented".

It's a bit of a marketing trick. For many years the industry standard fragrance load was 3% volume, ie 1/2 oz of fragrance to wax ratio. Triple scented, therefore, means the candle is loaded with a 9% fragrance.

It doesn't necessarily mean that it smells super strong as if a candle is fragranced with a light smell, no matter how much fragran… Continue
