As a retiree (yes, a Colonel), I needed a hobby. I had been interested in soy candles, so over the course of a year, I learned as much as I could. Now I make scented soy candles with eco-cotton wicks in Libbey Status Jars. I had my first craft show in 2014 and was unexpectedly successful. Although some of the materials are expensive, I enjoy the experience enough I don't need much for my labor. Consequently, I provide a better quality product for less money. Although I am home based, I hope to expand to internet sales besides craft shows.
