Unexpected Sales
So I work occasionally in construction usually just delivering materials and doing cleanup. Well the two guys I work around were asking me how the candle making was coming along, I told them about what we have been working on and out of nowhere one of them asked me if I'd make him one. I was all like,"Heck yeah!" But without all the desperation in my voice.
I brought him a sample of the scent and it was so strong that as soon as I walked into the building, they could smell it. They were so impressed that the other guy wanted one and before it was over with I had a total of 4 orders with them wanting more.
So I have a possibility of getting them on consignment at a local flowershop as well.
It's just exciting to see people interested in a business you're starting.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Unexpected Sales
Just having to work on pouring money back into tools and items and materials to make more, faster.
Honestly my love for RPGs *Role Playing Games...not Rocket Propelled Grenades* have taught me how to start small and improve and upgrade.
Had to get all my formulations straight...certain amount of scent for a certain amount of wax...etc so I worked through the math with my wife's help and made formulation tables for super small amounts up to candles the size of 32 oz.
I'm working using a grease pitcher in a pot on a stove as a double boiler to melt the wax and using silicon ice cube trays to pour the melted wax into so it solidifys into small shapes that can be weighed and organized easily until they are needed to be melted down and have scent and color added to make either candles or wax melts.
It's been fun figuring stuff out and getting creative with how to get things done.
