Happy New Year!

A belated but nonetheless very Happy New Year to to you all.

We have just had our first Xmas and experienced the rush. To be honest we had no idea what to expect but about 5 weeks before Xmas the order started flying in. We hardly had time to stop and take a breath. Thanks to eveyone who placed orders with us. Royal Mail did us proud, unlike a courier company who shall remain nameless, that we dropped a few weeks prior to Xmas. As far as we are aware only one parcel never arrived over the holiday period and most arrived at their destinations in double quick time according to our ebay feedback.

Then just as suddenly as it had started the orders stopped. It seems that although we were geared up to keep going at a mnaic pace until the last first class post had departed on 21st December the majority of customers stopped a week before that. It was a gentle last week of posting but our aim was to fulfill all orders and we succeeded.

After a  lovely festive break we expected January to be really quiet but 'No'. New Years Eve the order started flooding in again (maybe because it was a Saturday and everyone was hitting the Internet before getting ready for their New Year's celebrations. And it hasn't stopped since. So much for being able to take a breath and do a stock take and a spring clean. (I'm sure we will get around to all that at some time)

And now we are in the midst of preparing for Valentines Day. We ordered some moulds from Germany as they seem a lot more into candles than we are with amazing selections of moulds and fantastic ideas wbout what to do with a basic candle. The moulds arrived last week and here are our Valentines candles - again a huge thank you to Sharon of S. Cooper Floral Design, who has made them look extra pretty!
