The Lilley Pad Candles and Soaps

NEW!!!!
 

Effective June 1, 2008
Unfortunately, I find I have to raise the
prices of some of my wholesale
and retail prices.  Changes are in Yellow

Inventory as of November 30/2007
I have compiled a list of the candles
and other products that are still
available this year. 

Anyone have last minute shopping to do?  ;-)

2007 Fall and Christmas Craft Shows
Another season of successful craft shows over.  Phew!!

December 2007

Check out new lower prices of body butters and
pampered pet paw balm. 

September 2007

Believe it or not, it is time to start thinking about making up my Christmas products.  Where did the summer go!!

I will be ordering my Christmas and Fall scents soon, so if anyone has specific scents they would like to order, please let me know asap and I'll see if I can get them for you.

Here are the scents I will possibly
be ordering this year plus more.

NOTICE:  As most of my fragrance oils come from the US, I should explain that due to new USPS mailing restrictions, Canadian customers will not be able to have fragrance oils shipped via USPS Air if the flashpoint (the degree that a fragrance can explode) is below 200 degrees F.  These oils will have to be shipped via UPS or Fed Ex ground, and will be subject to brokerage and duty fees. 

I will be ordering some of these fragrances to be shipped via USP Ground as they are a MUST and my best sellers, but I will be limiting the number to a minimum.  They are thousands of scents available with fp's over the 200 so am going to concentrate on them. 

I do order some of my oils from Canadian suppliers but have found that the costs are sometimes very high in comparison to the ones from the states and are the same quality or better.

I'm also looking forward to doing some new fundraising projects this fall.   Contact me if you might be interested.

July 2007
The CPE Nationals (Canine Professional Events), an International Dog Show will be held at the Bridgewater Exhibition Grounds from
July 6 to July 8, 2007.
We will be there and have a 10 x 20 tent set up so if you love dogs, please check out this event and visit us as well.  :-)
This is the first time the show has been held
outside the US.

---------------------------------------

I will be at the Lunenburg Craft Festival from July 14 to July 16 at Arena. 

June 2007

From June 1-3 Kelly and I will be attending the Berwick Blossom Market in Berwick, which has moved from the Kentville Arena to the Berwick Arena

May, 2007

Attended the Tulip Festival in Truro
from May 18 - 20, 2007.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate with the festival events which affected the attendance at the craft show...but I had fun and that's what really counts.

March 2007
I have added body butters to my product line.  Check them out at http://www.thelilleypad.com/butters.htm

February 2007
I would like to thank all my wholesale and retail customers for a fantastic 2006.  Without your support, my business would not be expanding at the rate it is.

Here's hoping 2007 is even better.
Thank you again.

January 2007 - Ok, just did a count of what I made up last year and the figures are astounding.
Can't believe it.
Over 8500 soy and wax votives,
1000 tarts, 1500 tealights,
2000 bars of soaps and more.

November - 2006 Well, I just have to pat myself on the back a bit again.

The Dynamite Twirlers of Halifax are selling
my wax votives as a fundraiser for their organization.
In the past month, they have sold over 700
and I have orders for 400 more.
If anyone is interested in supporting
this group, you can e-mail Jill Schwartz and
she would be delighted to help you.  :-)

I have been contacted by another group this week
to make up 500 votives for their fundraising.

FUNDRAISING

My votives seem to be replacing some of the chocolate bar
fund raisers in the area with my votives.  If anyone else is interested, particularly in Nova Scotia, please e-mail me
and I'm sure we can work something out.

November 2006 So far this year I have made over 8,000 soy and wax votives and counting. (Nov.06)

The Craft Shows are over for the year
and it was a phenomenal year - thank you all.
Please drop in if you are in the neighbourhood! 

--------------------------
January 2006 I was asked to provide samples of my soaps
to the 1200 delegates attending the 2006 Juno Awards in
Halifax held in April.  :-)

A big step for me this year is being a participant
at the Saltscape East Coast Expo which was held
in Halifax on April 28, 29 and 30, 2006.
