I have made a change in my candle recipe, I have now added UV Inhibitor to reduce fading of the colors in our candles from the UV rays produced by the sun
The changes I made will produce a better product for all you candle lovers
I felt changing my recipe was a step in the right direction which will result in offering our customers a superior product
I hope you will agree
I made these changes with YOU, my highly valued shoppers in mind
I am continually looking at ways to improve our items, seeking out the best fragrance oils, premium waxes, dyes, that enables me to offer the very best possible product to you at a fair & reasonable price
This Has Been My Goal & Will Continue To Be My Goal
I Have Worked With Some Of The Top Notch Wax & Fragrance Manufactures Across The Country-Picking Their Brains Of Knowledge-Techniques & Inside Trade Secrets To Create A Quality Scented Candle
I Use As Much Fragrance Oil As The Wax I Work With Will Allow For The Most Optimal Results Per The Manufacturers Best Recommendations For A Superior Scented Candle
I Also Include Other Special Additives In My Wax Blend To Reduce Dripping-Increase Bonding Adhesion & Promote A Better Burn Time
~*~DISCLAIMER~*~
These candles should be used primarily for display/or decoration only. I cannot guarantee or be responsible for the safety of these candles since they have been modified/changed/altered from there original design
AS WITH ANY CANDLE
Do not leave candles unattended while lit-have candles lit in a drafty area or near windows-have candles lit near children-or any of our furry friends
Only use secure & non-flammable candleholders
These are NOT DRIPLESS candles-I would suggest using a candleholder with a surrounding surface to catch any drippings that might occur if this is a concern for you. Also make sure your wick is kept trimmed to approx. 1/8-1/4 of an inch when burning

*** HANDLING FEES ***
This is a very touchy subject for many who shop on Ebay
I too am a buyer & I am not fond of some of the handling fee's that I have ran across while browsing. However, as a seller I fully understand what it takes in personal time, fee's, shipping materials, freight charges, utilities, fuel costs, office supplies, etc to complete a transaction from beginning to end & why handling fees are charged.
Regrettably-there is a cost involved with the above mentioned. I wish I could tell you that everything involved in a sale comes to me free & that I do not charge a handling fee, but the truth is, they don't. I try in every way possible to keep handling fee's to the minimum by finding the best deals. I recycle whenever possible when processing/packaging orders. I look for the best bulk rates on shipping supplies & keep waste to the bare bones. I have converted everything in my creation stations, office & packaging center to the most current economical form I can. I continually look for more ways to lower my overhead which in turn keeps prices down. Which keeps buyers-smiling!!
Currently, I am only offering USPS-Priority & UPS-Ground shipping as I have found these shippers convenient, reliable & easy to work with-they also are the safest & quickest to date when getting your items to you. I will send items flat rate when it benefits the buyer.
I used to offer parcel post shipping but I have found that in most cases the difference of a dime is not worth the extra shipping time or handling that a package has to go through with this form of shipping.
I continuously review all areas of cost that effect both you & us to bring the best prices & quality to all
Handling rates may differ on bulk or larger items based on materials needed for safe packaging & secure shipping
PLEASE READ OUR TERMS OF SALE SO THERE ARE NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS
Stop back by when you can or feel an urge to browse around the Ebay world
I always have a comfy chair for you to sit in while you shop around
Approximate Burning Times
These will depend on many variables such as wax type, additives, wick size & type, oils, dyes, etc.
Votives-2 ounces-15 hours
6-Inch Flat-Top Tapers-6 hours
5-1/2 Inch Tapers-5 hours
4-Inch Tapers-3 hours
REMEMBER DO NOT LEAVE ANY CANDLES UNATTENDED OR UNSUPERVISED WHEN LIT AND KEEP YOUR WICKS TRIMMED
ONCE AGAIN PRIMITIVE GRUBBY CANDLES ARE NOT DRIPLESS-THE DRIPPING IS PART OF THE PRIMITIVE STYLE & LOOK
Remember to hug a child, tell someone you love them, call a friend, forgive someone, share a smile, lend a ear or helping hand
Our time here is short in the grand scheme of things but we each can give or bring a moment of joy or possibly make a difference in one life with a unselfish, kind & thoughtful jesture, word or moment of time
It is better to give than to receive
Thanks For Stopping By, God Bless & Happy Bidding
