CANDLE SUPPLIES

CANDLE SUPPLIES - scents, dyes, molds, wax, etc. All for $100; (207) 342-3779.

Page D3 of the July 28 Bangor Daily News.

Preconceived notions: My first instinct was to go for the adult diaper ad, but I figured that story would be gross. Instead, I'll call candle lady. I assume this person works at one of the oldy type places in Maine where people make oldy stuff. You know, hand dipped candles. Maybe she sells them to the Ampersand.

This lady was sort of a hoot. Usually I really have to pry at people to get anything. Not this lady. She owns her own shop and loves to talk.

"I'm a crafter and I have a craft business and I do quite a combination of crafts, its ust at the point that I have to cut back on some of my projects and that is why I'm selling the candle supplies," she told me at 4:30 p.m.


Most of the molds she bought in the area at AC Moore and Michaels. The wax though, because she has a shop, she bought from a company out of Ohio.


This lady has 30-40 pounds of wax, 67 dyes, two metal molds, four acrylic molds and then she started using jargon I couldn't translate.


"I do a dozen different types of crafts," she said. "I just don't have the time to do everything anymore."
