Ok...Here's the finished product. I made more candles but they didn't look right in the basket, it made it crowded. I always do that. It is nice though, that way if I really like the scent, I get to have one as well.
They pitched a fit on me right up till I had to start getting ready for the shower.
The throw off scent is great. When the bride opened them, it filled the room. I may have people ordering them. Waay cool. It has always been my dream to do this professionaly. This is one of the more expensive baskets believe it or not. I used more scent in this one.
I ended up putting two scents together and it came out wonderful. The scent was a hit at the bridal shower as well. Everyone kept asking me what the scent was. They kept picking them up and smelling them. It was a big rush watching everyone admiring them. My husband came up with my new scent's name, " Spiced Cranbilla". French vanilla and spiced cranberry. I'm soo excited out this. I think I may make more candles today, These will be more fun as I will not be rushed to make them. They also won't be in a basket, but I'll take pictures anyway. It is cooler today as well so maybe when they are cooling there won't be issues of them sinking. I never had that problem before. Of course I haven't made any in over a year. Have I mentioned I'm excited, totally stoked? I couldn't stop talking about all the ideas I have with my husband during the route last "crack of butt". The people I went to the shower for (mother, bride and groom) all work with me and hubby at the paper. The mother also knows this one lady who owns several condo's and is always redecorating them, I am hoping to eventually sell her a few candles for her condos. It's a long shot, but who knows. I'm in dream state here.......Already setting up shop in my head, Bath salts here...containers there...oh, and all the tarts go in the shelf/bins hubby built along the wall......

Awesome. I wish I could smell the spiced cranbilla... seems very interesting.
Often, when I visit friend's houses I notice scented candles that just sit there unlit for years on a mantlepiece, or a side table. Sometimes still in a wrapper. As if they are being kept for a special occasion, perhaps the next millenium.
It strikes me that you could make them with any old scent. The recipient would be none the wiser for several years.
candles are meant to burned it is part of the beauty of the candle. I think letting them just sit there is a shame.
