I've been doing a fair amount of research. Also, the containers I'm looking to use (other than the wineglasses) are almost all ones that have held candles before. You know, like when you buy the cute little jar & burn the candle that's in it? I've been saving those damn things forever. One idea I had is, I live right near the Fiestaware factory - about 20 minutes from there actually. If you're not familiar with Fiestaware, it's like stoneware, lots of pretty colors. I was thinking of getting different colored teacups (maybe even those teeny little espresso-type cups) and making candles in them to give as gifts - like mixing coffee & vanilla fragrance together, for instance. Or maybe using my favorite fruity scents in matching cups - like blueberry in a cobalt cup, that kinda thing. What do you think? > > >
