May - June

Hello all
May has been very busy. My first grandchild is due any minute, so my schedule has been very flexible as I try complete all that I can in anticipation of that phone call and meeting my new grandchild.

Dipping schedule is tentatively as follows (subject to change):

May 24 - Lake
May 26 - Lilac
May 31 - cancelled due to Memorial Day (preparation is done the day before)
June 2 - Storm candles
June 7 - Maple
June 9 - Cinnamon

Dips are usually done in the afternoon on Tuesday and Thursday, from approximately 1:30-3:30. Now that we are getting to the warmer months, weather does become a concern. So far we haven't had to worry, but if the temperature in the studio is above 80 degrees, dips are cancelled. Although Adirondack Chandler candles will withstand the heat, making them above 80 degrees causes production problems, and the candles do not cool correctly.

When my grandchild is born, I anticipate that my schedule will be modified. It is our first grandchild and we are VERY EXCITED!!!!

We will keep you posted!!!

May??

Good Day -- it is May right???? We had the April showers, and now it is time for the May flowers! But, in keeping with the stormy, gloomy weather, tomorrow we will be making Storm Candles. Stop by Thursday afternoon to see these unique candles being made on our old fashioned style carrousel.

Trying to get back to a normal Tuesday/ Thursday dipping schedule after a particularly difficult spring.

Hope you can stop in and "smell" the roses -- literally. We have single stem Rose Votive candles available in a variety of colors.

Here's to a sunnier spring!
