September 2011

It is hard to believe Labor Day is this weekend. This summer has flown by, and ended with a hurricane hitting our area leaving massive devastation in its wake. But, we are back to work, making candles and preparing for the upcoming fall and holiday season.

By next week I hope to have a regular schedule for dipping by next week. Normally dipping is on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Weather, specifically heat, may still be an issue, but with the cooler nights hopefully the studio will cool enough to allow regular production.

After the Labor Day holiday, I will post an anticipated schedule of what scents will be made. I am working on some new products for Halloween, and hopefully will be able to introduce them next week.

Enjoy the last official week of summer!

August 2011

Hello all

It has been a tumultuous August. After a wonderful week of visiting my daughter, son-in-law and beautiful granddaughter, my elderly mother's health has begun a rapid deterioration. So my week started off with a 5 hour visit to the Emergency Room. Mother was admitted to the hospital in a very weakened state, required a lot of medical intervention and today (Friday, August 19) is being moved into a Rehab facility.

As a result, Adirondack Chandler will be closing early today to assist in getting my Mom transitioned and stabilized. My husband and I had planned a camping vacation starting tomorrow, and we still have high hopes that we will be able to go. We will be semi-local, and although cell service is spotty my family will be able to reach me if needed.

Once I return on the 29th plans are to start preparing for the upcoming holiday season. The summer season has passed by very quickly! It started with the happiness of the birth of my granddaughter, but is ending with the sadness of my Mother's declining health.

Dipping will hopefully resume upon my return on the 29th. Thank you for your understanding.

Regards

August 2011

It is hard to believe that August is here already! Because of the hot and humid weather, dipping schedules have been when I can manage to make the candles. Some days I am in here at 5 am trying to beat the heat, but I do enjoy the summer and being able to get outside. We are a long time cold here in the North Country, so we have to enjoy being outside as much as we can!

Based on that thought, I will be out of town for two separate weeks in August. Currently I am preparing for a show at the Lakeside Cider Mill in Ballston Lake August 6 - 7.

The week of August 8 - 13 I will be traveling to visit with my daughter, son-in-law and new granddaughter. It is hard to believe she is 2 months old already! Time does fly by, especially when babies are so young.

I will return the week of August 15 and work a normal schedule. Dipping will be at the mercy of the weather, but I plan to be here between 9-4, however check back if you plan to come that week as I do have two potential meetings lined up for early morning.

The week of August 20-26 I will be out of town on a much needed vacation. My husband and I love camping, kayaking, fishing, etc and this will be our first and only opportunity to get this in before the season ends. It is a much needed vacation for both of us, and although I am sorry I will miss you, I will return August 29 and plan to buckle down and get some serious work done (again, if the weather cooperates!).

Before you know it I will be making candles in preparation for the Christmas season! I can't believe how quickly the year has gone by.

ENJOY THE REMAINDER OF OUR SUMMER!
