Fall 2012

Fall is here.  We have been making candles in preparation for the upcoming Holiday Season.   Contact us for dipping schedule as it varies this time of year depending on customer needs.

Make sure to check out our website at www.adkchandler.com to purchase those candles for your holiday table.  A candle adds warmth to your table and adds a special ambiance to any meal.

In addition to the normal scents we have, we have added some holiday scents in votives and tea lights (sorry, not available in tapers), including:

Thanksgiving Scents

Pumpkin Pie
Hot Apple Pie
Cornucopia
Harvest Moon
Amish Harvest
Autumn Leaves

Christmas Scents

Frankincense

Sugar Plum

Ginger Bread

Peppermint Patty

Hot Apple Pie

Pumpkin Pie

Christmas Cheer

Christmas Essence

Summer is here

Summer is here, and with it the heat.  Starting today, every Thursday I will be a the Saratoga Artisan's Market at High Rock Pavilion in Saratoga Springs, NY.  The heat determines when dipping will be done.  If the studio is over 80 degrees I cannot make candles.  If you are interested, please contact me in advance at 518-798-1800. 

Summer is also the time for citronella candles!  I plan to start making them in the coming weeks in a variety of containers.  More on that in future posts.

Everyone, stay safe out there!  Drink lots of water, put on sun screen, and enjoy  the beautiful sunny weather!

It has been a busy spring here at Adirondack Chandler!  I went to several shows which were very successful.  That gave me more work to complete, and unfortunately, meant the blog was placed in the "to do" pile.  But, I am almost caught up, and want to apologize for not posting something sooner.

I plan to do at least two dips per week.  During the warmer weather, I usually try to do the dipping in the morning, before the studio begins to heat up.  I usually plan to do dips on Tuesday and Thursday, but may have to adjust as I will be attending the Saratoga Artisans and Crafters Market every Thursday from 10-4 beginning June 21.   Check out their Facebook page by following this link - https://www.facebook.com/SaratogaArtisansAndCraftersMarket.  It looks like a great place to visit!

In personal news, my beautiful granddaughter will turn one year old tomorrow.  It doesn't seem possible!  She is also one of the reasons I love summertime, as her mother works in the School system and has the summer off.  It gives me more opportunity to see this little one!

I will be doing dips next Tuesday and Thursday. Right now the plan is to do Balsam on Tuesday, and Unscented Red on Thursday, but this is subject to change if the need arises.  I also hope to get some Citronella candles made in the coming weeks as the "buggy season" is also upon us!

Enjoy the sunshine and summer weather.  We have a short season, so enjoy it!  I plan to get in my kayak as much as possible and soak up some sunshine, get in some fishing, and do a little camping, in between visits with my granddaughter and family of course!

March Schedule

Whew! March will be very busy!

March 7 & 8 I will be attending the ANCA Buyers Days Wholesale show at the Saratoga City Center. March 7 show hours are 12-5, and March 8 are 9-4. I will be in a new booth... booth number 3 this year. Make sure to stop by if you are interested in adding candles to your line of items in your shop or if you are an existing customer and want to pick up the new catalog.

On March 16 I will be leaving for England! My husband is going for his job, and I have the opportunity to tag along. I will return on the 23rd and the studio will be open March 25.

On March 31 I will leave for the wholesale show in New Lebanon, NH which will be April 1-3. Once I return from there I hope to have regular hours for the month of April.

May 5 I will be out of town for a week on a previously scheduled vacation.

As you can imagine, I will be very busy the days I AM in my studio!

Spring 2012 - Wholesale Show and Studio Schedule

I have just returned from the NY Gift Show in Verona, NY and am anxious to get back to a more normal schedule. I will be open Monday - Friday with regular hours, 9-11:45/ 1:15-4:00 at a minimum, and most likely there more often. I hope to start a regular dipping schedule soon as well, and will keep you posted.

On February 28 I will be opening late as I have a doctor appointment. March 7& 8 I will attending the ANCA Buyer's Day Wholesale show, and on the 31st of March I will travel to New Lebanon, New Hampshire for the White River Buyer Show from the 31st through April 4. After that I hope to have some quality time at home and in the studio creating candles.

I have a few new items I am working on, including some special candles for Easter and Mother's Day. Although there is an Open House at the Shirt Factory May 5 & 6, I will unfortunately be out of town during this weekend and for the week of May 7. But, feel free to contact me if you have any Mother's Day items you would like to purchase for that special Mom in your life!

I am really trying to get back on a regular schedule. Life seems to keep throwing "curves" our way with health issues, family needs, etc. Please feel free to call if you want to come in. With the exception of the above mentioned dates, I can most likely be here if you need to stop in!

Think Spring Everyone. We haven't had much snow, and now we may as well launch right into Spring and start our outdoor living!

February 2012

Adirondack Chandler will be attending the NY State Gift Show in Verona, NY the week of February 12, so the office will be closed. We will return on February 20 with normal hours, 9-4.

December 2011

No surprise, but Adirondack Chandler is still very busy during the holiday season. Today (November 29) I will be making Storm Candles. The Open House at the Shirt Factory this past weekend was successful, but if you missed it, we will have another one December 10-11.

This Saturday, December 3, Adirondack Chandler will be CLOSED as our beautiful granddaughter and her parents make a visit to Glens Falls. We will also, most likely, be closed the afternoon of Friday, December 2 as I have to make some deliveries to local consignment shops, as well as other deliveries.

Adirondack Chandler has TRUE BAYBERRY candles available to help you usher in the New Year. Burning a Bayberry Candle to the nub on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve is purported to bring you good luck in the coming year. Don't take any chances!!! Come in a get your candles!!!
