Starla's Candle Making Best Picks

My pick of the best places on the web to go to for candle, crafts, instructions and some fine "mom and pop" wholesale shops. In no way do I receive any money for the links, nor am I advertising for others. It is strictly what I like.

mankatt's photostream

I love old vintage stuff, even have a website devoted to vintage recipes. Here is mankatt's photostream on flickr. Really pretty cool. Basically all old advertising like candy bars, beer cans, soda cans, soap wrappers, Frost King weather strip, and frosting to name a few. It is full of photos and you will never get tired of looking. Mankatt had quite a few followers and comments on his products. I think he sells some on ebay, but here vintage fun is just that - FUN!

I really like the photo stream. I'm a photo nut anyway; love the old black n white pre-70's photos the best.

Wish me luck in school this semester! Starts tomorrow, poor Cleo and my chubbie hubbie will be home all alone missing me terribly. Come to think of it; they may see my absent in a whole different light, lol.

Jessie Showman's Homemade Cinnamon Buns







Hi everyone, A couple days ago, this email arrived in my box. A lady was kind enough to let me know how much she like making the cinnamon buns with my instructions. She gave me her permission to add her photos and email.
I love when someone send me photos of their work, it lets you gals, out there, know the instructions are for beginners and you don't need to pay for expensive molds or other expensive materials. You can make cinnamon buns with my easy to use free instructions.
After all, life isn't suppose to be so hard.
Here is what she had to say and photos of her homemade cinnamon buns.


"Hello Starla,

I wanted to thank you for having the directions on how to make cinnamon buns.I had a baby in March and for my shower I wanted the theme to be "bun in the oven", wellI thought it would be cute to make some buns for the favors.. I looked everywhere for cinnamonbun molds and came across your website! Let me tell you, you save me lots of time and money!!I didn't really get the cool time right, but found that when it did mush out it sealed the roll together. I rolled about 70 buns for favors and made some bigger ones for the center pieces. Everyone just lovedthem, and I loved them too!!! I can't wait to make them again, just got to wait til the baby gives me the time to do so! Thank you for having directions for your wonderful talent!

Jessie"
