Fall Arrivals...

Schools back in next week, and with the arrival of fall, comes fall scents! Our fall candle line is hitting the shelves in our store, and in our clients stores.

New Halloween SPOOK-TACULAR candles!

Scents like Hilda's Brew and Fresh from the Grave....

With fall also comes PUMPKIN! Pumpkin scents come in all forms, like Pumpkin Cheesekcake, Apple Butter and Pumpkin, and the classic Pumpkin Pie Filling. Apple Cider is also now out, as another seasonal scent favorite.

Our ladies are working harder then ever, coming up with new stuff!

Jessie just last week hand rolled cinnamon bun pillars! They are primitive, and coated with real cinnamon, dripping with a creamy icing... I love cinnamon buns!!

Sam has been busy collecting all the fall orders, and getting the candles made up to fill the orders! Our candle makers blend of the week is coming back next week, and Tasha is the first candle maker to test her scent skills. The task? We have over 100 fragrances in our shop. Some plain, some full body. Tasha is going to blend up a combination, and pour a few trays of votive candles. Colour matters!! Then put it in the store, and see what our customers think! Something tells me she will be using raisin bread scent, or caramel toffee in her blend, she's always hovering when we are pouring these scents! (Tasha is our packager, but she pours as well, when we need more hands on deck!)

Lise has been a basket case! Really!!! She has been super busy making up our gift baskets! She concentrated on fall candle baskets, and they will be shipped out in the next few days.

Michelle has been busy in our Sears store. THE WISHBOOK IS HERE!! Sears famous Fall and Holiday catalogue came out on Aug 28th, and I think we are handing out about a hundred a day right now!

Beth is on the mend from her foot surgury, (and summer off) and is expected to be back in a week or 2... and boy do I have a to do list for her!! (hehe) Just kidding, we'll go easy on her, she will be busy in the store, putting together displays, helping with the dry cleaners and Sears Catalogue desk, with all the wishbook orders.

Me? Fundraisers are about to start up. In fact, our first round of brochures shipped out today to some of the schools who booked the program before school let out for summer. We have about 30 schools booked, and are planning to add another 20 to the schedule for this fall. Our program is super easy to run, no start up costs, and gives the schools a 50% return. I also have to hire our fall students in, and get the training started. Our temporary students help with cleaning, packaging and prep work for our candle makers. most students start mid September, and finish up the first of December.

Keep an eye on the website, some super cute fall and holiday candles will be posted this weekend!!

Chow for now!
