Thoroughly
enjoyed this month's news letter.
Especially all of the rose crafts.
The plumber's helper topiary was very pretty. Unusual to say the least. It's amazing
what kinds of crafts you can make with ordinary items and they turn
out truly beautiful. The Christmas
wreath on your garden gate, etc. I really want to make some
of the rose jelly. Take care and thanks again. Pam

CRAFT KITS
Hi,
Love the newspaper and the
crafts that are in it. Would you know where I could buy Essential
Oils at a WholeSale price? I would like to make my own Bath Salts.
Regards,
Evva
Hi Evva,
To really buy at wholesale, you have to buy in huge quantities.
Otherwise, you just need to shop around. Nancy said she's found that no one bead company sells every kind of bead as cheaply as possible,
and we suspect that's true for essential oils too. In other
words, Company A may
have the best prices on Oil P, but Oil Q will be cheaper at Company
B.
And this just complicates the whole "getting the best deal"
situation.
Good luck,
Jane Marie |
