Most of my customers are actually shocked whenever they see my products and the see the price tag… They wonder why my products are very affordable when they look so good, smell so good and lasts a long time… Some peoole say I could actually charge more…

I tell them, they’re buying straight from the manufacturer - I am the manufacturer. It’s literally just me making the stuff and handing it to them. No distributor fees, no retail markups, no nonsense. Definitely won’t trigger a financial melt down to my customers…

As a crafter, seeing my customers come back year after year after year, following me at all of my craft shows in the entire StL Metro and even Illinois, or even placing an order online because they couldn’t make it to any of my show, loving and enjoying my melts as much as i did when i made them, makes my heart full of joy - that’s one thing people couldn’t put a price tag on.. 💝
