Bank Holiday Weekend - A time for creativity and productivity.

Bank Holiday weekends are seen as an opportunity to kick back, relax and have a well earned rest. Not for me!

I will be spending my weekend elbow deep in melted wax and wicks and candle moulds. The weekends are my candle making time and I intend to be creative!

I have several vintage tea cups that need filling with wax, a roll of cellephane that needs wrapping round my creations and all of it needs to be added to the website! http://www.fourteencandles.com/

By the time the weekend is over I'll need to come back to work for a rest! You never know, I may find time to add some pictures of the candles I make on here! x

So what do you have to do to get someone to read your blog? Answers on a postcard please!

So, Fourteen Candles has had a blog for over a week now. I know I'm not the most patient person ever, but I was hoping for a few followers. Otherwise, these poor words I type will never be read. If nothing else, my fingers tapping away on the keyboard has proven very popular with my very baby kitten who would like nothing more than to pounce on the laptop and chew off my fingers one by one.

If anyone reads this, please let me know how you successfully gather followers to your blog, and I will of course respond, should the kitten let me!

And so it begins....

Fourteen Candles is writing its very first blog, in the hope to create some awareness of the business. Scary stuff.

Fourteen Candles has been running since January 2010. I'd had a hectic year with a lot of bad luck, and so at the grand old age of 21 and a new year ahead of me, I decided to set up my own candle company.

I've always loved candles, and with a creative mind I had a desire to learn to make them also. My dream is to one day have a candle boutique in my home town, selling my unique handmade candles. Until such a time when orders are pouring in and I can afford a shop, I hope to raise awareness on the internet and sell via fourteencandles.com.

I hope that someone reading this out there will love what Fourteen Candles has to offer. In return, I ask that you spread the word.
