    • @FionaStolze
      @FionaStolze 4 місяці тому

      Are these made with pure essential oils or does she add fragrances? Using 6-10% fragrance on 100g of wax makes it really expensive. I'm just curious. THanks.

The attention to detail and the loving hands-on process were evidence of Amy's passion for creating beautiful candles. Thank you, Mary and Amy for this lovely video.

    Amy's candle making process is very interesting. She's really good at what she does. Her husbands wooden toppers to hold the wick upright is ingenious.

I love your candles and melts! You’re so right about the crowds of visitors in Holmes county during summer. I tend to stay out of the towns and stay on the back roads during the busy months.

    I can’t say enough about Amy’s candles! They are so aromatic and perfect in every way. The Gingerbread one was legendary in our home last Christmas. Thank you so very much Amy for sharing your tips with us. I make candles as a product to feature my art, so they are totally different from yours, but I learned quite a bit from watching you and it’s very kind of you to invite everyone in to your candle workshop! God bless you both❤

    I just enjoy making candles at home as a creative joy and to give as gifts to friends and family. So impressed with Amy and picked up a few tips like the clothes pin to keep the wicks straight and true and making wax melts with the extra to keep for insurance against sink holes. So simple and yet so efficient. Thank you for sharing Amy's process. Please extend Best Wishes for her continued success.

    Oh! This video was priceless! Loved watching this wonderful informative video - what a well thought out process she has developed. Everything is well organized and precisely implemented. I enjoy pouring candles too on a much smaller personal level so I learned so much - the little details about the temperature of the wax at the different stages. What a joy to watch a person who is passionate about making a quality product. Thanks you again for posting this inspired video! Wednesday morning is reserved for my cup of coffee and White Cottage Company!!! Enjoy that special time to inspire and launch a productive day here at my house.

    Mary, thank you for sharing how Amy makes the candles. I feel so much love and attention goes into each candle. These are my all time favorite candles, I’m always disappointed whenever I burn a different brand. The candle burns very clean, hardly any smoking at all and the fragrance is amazing. My two favorite scents are Orange peppercorn and Lavender Eucalyptus❤. .Thank you @White Cottage Company and especially Amy for all of her hard work.

    Our big Bridal Shower is this weekend, can’t wait to see the reaction of the ladies getting those candle and your soap !
