Think I've found a bargain and.....

Post by Mallard »

a new hobby! :-D
Charity shop, £20 before Christmas, £15 after, I offered the manager a tenner today and she took it! )c(
All the gear for candle making. Various wicks, wax, including beeswax sheets, the right pans, moulds and stuff I haven't idetified yet!
Just need book, and, I'm told, a thermometer now. Really chuffed as it's something I wanted to have a go at, having seen the price of candles! )grin2(
