This is the part of craft shows you don’t always get to see. 🤍
Before the table is set up and everything has a label and a price, there are evenings that look a lot like this.
Working a full day, coming home, eating something, and getting right back to work—pouring candles, making products, labeling, packing, and trying to remember everything I need to bring.
And somehow, no matter how much I get done, there’s always that thought in the back of my mind…
“Do I have enough?”
“Did I make enough of that scent?”
“Should I make one more batch?”
“What am I forgetting?” 😂
It’s hard to explain how much time goes into a table full of handmade items until you’re the one making them. Every candle has to be prepared, poured, finished, and labeled. Every product has to be packed up, loaded, carried in, and arranged before the show even starts.
Some nights I’m tired and ready to sit down, but I’m also excited to finish something new and bring it for you all to see. There’s a lot of second-guessing, a lot of mess, and a whole lot of heart behind this little business.
So when you stop at my table, smell the candles, tell me which scent you love, or pick something out to take home, it means so much. Seeing something I spent my evenings making become something you’re excited about is such a good feeling.
Thank you for giving my hard work a place in your homes, for sharing my posts, and for coming out to see me. I’m so grateful for every bit of support you show CL Candles & More. 🤍
