Well, alot of people ask what my USP is. What makes me different from other retailers who sell candles? I've always known the answer, but havent actively promoted it.
I make handmade candles using recycled jars, vintage teacups and assorted china and other items I find on my travels, making my candles both unique, vintage and environmentally friendly. Therefore, I have decided my strapline to describe Fourteen Candles in one simple sentence should be.....
Handmade Candles with a Vintage Twist.
I like it, but let me know what you think - quick though, I intend to start using this on everything!
HANDMADE CANDLES WITH A VINTAGE TWIST. Fourteen Candles is a small homebased company in Bridport, Dorset and has been running since January 2010. Inspired by my love of candles and delicious scents, I make handmade candles using recycled jars, teacups and other items I find on my travels, making my candles both unique and environmentally friendly.

New Year - New post
WOW! It's 2012 and I've realised I havent blogged since last March. Yikes. Please accept my apologies!
So, a new year has begun. The end of last year proved really successful for Fourteen Candles, but there is still an awful long way to go.
My new years resolution is to make my business bigger, better known, improve awareness, grow traffic to my website and ultimately SELL MORE!
Teacup candles were my best seller of 2011, watch out for new patterns this year...
Scentswise, vanilla, sweetpea, gardenia and lavendar all proved very popular. While banana, chocolate, spiced apple, toffee and candyfloss all lagged behind. 2012 will bring new scents, but floral seems the way forward for many. (I personally prefer the yummy scrummy edible choices!).
Expect to see many blogs to follow, as I am getting more organised! Watch this space.....
