I understand that the wicks are usually made with lead. Do you know if anyone sells sets of wicks that are lead free? Hello loved this lesson on candle making and supplies.

I've never tried making candles before but your instructions are so clear I think I am brave enough to give it a try. Okay, I have to try this.

I live in Oregon and buy my supplies for candle and soap making at GloryBee Food and Crafts. You can order online from them as well. http://www.glorybeefoods.com/gbf/Shop_List.cfm?PC=4&PSC=&Token=71.236.252.62:{ts_2009-02-11_12:02:32}-841305 Hi Suzanne-

While you're blogging about candles in detail, taking and sharing wonderful photographs, cooking and photographing the recipes, running your farm, and taking care of your kids, your assistant|husband|ornery angel is attached to your hip, recording your novels and then transcribing them! That's the only way you have time to treat us everyday to this act of love and get your books written, submitted, revised and published, much less do promotion. Thank you, thank you, thank you. :heart: I have it figured out.

I bought my supplies last night from the local craft store. The only thing is that I have to prime (wax) my wicks. They didn't have the right prewaxed wicks that I need for my containers. I hope everything turns out good, this will be my first time! I’m making candles today, red Apple Cinnamon ones. I bought my supplies last night from the local craft store.

I had noticed in most of the pictures of your kitchen from previous recipe posts that you always have a container candle burning by your sink. I always do too! But in these lean times it was getting harder to fork out ten to twenty bucks for a good smelling candle. So thank you, thank you, your timing couldn't be better! Thank you for the informative post!
