Hi guys, I'm back from my vacation....

[Guest guest]

and I'm swamped! It will take me a couple of weeks to get straightened out, then I can work on the candle stuff for you guys. I just bought 1/2 pint wide mouth quart jars and my beeswax (60 lbs) arrived while I was gone, so I'm anxious to start making more candles. I'd like to scent some of them for the winter holidays but I don't know about what oils to use. Is there a cinnamon oil? Would pine smell better than juniper in a candle? I would appreciate some input from those of you who know more about oils that I do!

Smiles!

Michele

we could use sawdust instead of saltpeter on combustible incense, is

No you don't need it for non combustible incense. Combustible means you light it and it keeps burning. Non combustible means you have to supply the heat some other way, like charcoal. Non combustible incense is basically just herbs, resins, oils, and other smelly ingredients. No extra make it burn stuff:)

Woops, I responded to an e-mail to send this instead of doing an original email. Can you tell I'm tired?

Hi Michelle! Hope your vacations were fine! How much is your beeswax?

Me and Kate wanted cinnamon oil too, so I guess we could order it for

november maybe, because Chris found a company which sells it. Anyone

else interested?

 

Personally I think pine is always welcome... I love that smell! But I

don't know juniper, so I can't tell.

 

Hugs and take a break! ))

 

Lena

 

P.S. What is your email? Does it end by spessart?

Hi Lena,

I get my beeswax at Glorybee.com, they charge $3.20 a lb plus shipping.

(Since they are only 2 hrs away from me, the shipping isn't much). Thanks

for the input on the scents, I already have the pine oil, but I haven't

purchased juniper yet. When I get organized (yeah right), I'm going to have

to go into my workshop and experiment.

Smiles!

Michele
