I seriously can't communicate how excited I am for tomorrow's candle making class. I am such a total GEEK. I honestly don't even know why I am this excited, I just AM.
Ok. True confession: I have had a fantasy, for about two years, of opening a store that offers craft classes. At one time I had thought of the COOLEST name for the damn place, but didn't write it down. Damn Old Timers disease.
Here was the idea: there would be all kinds of different classes every day teaching folks how to make stuff with their hands - real salt of the earth, getting back to Ma and Pa kettle, living life-by-what-we-create kinds of stuff.
But, the really awesome part of it is this: the entire storefront would be a big display, where the students could sell their wares after they have made them, and the store would take a small commission on each piece.
Omg, I know it would be a modest place, but a good little profit, if I could just find an investor.
Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself. In the meantime, I'm gonna go learn how to make candles. :)

I used to make candles years ago, and it was a lot of fun. One of my favorites was making ice candles. Anxious to hear how your class went!
ReplyDeleteSounds like such fun Jenn! I have always been fascinated with the candle-making process...since reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. <3
