Considering Starting a Candle Shop

I am seriously considering starting a candle shop. RIght now I have a jewelry shop here on etsy, but its like I'm a tiny fish in a giant ocean!

I feel like I would be able to make a bigger splash in the candles. What are you thought? I need all the advice you can give!

I say go for it! Start a second shop and get busy so you can hopefully get caught up in the holiday rush.

Jewelry is really hard to sell here, and etsy keeps making it harder.

Re: Considering Starting a Candle Shop

I thought about opening a candle shop about a month ago but I saw a bunch of similar shop doing my idea. Sometimes it's so great to think you have an original idea and then find out its already been done! Boo!! Everyone is right though, a great time to do an extra project like that even if it just seasonal :) Wish you much success!

Re: Considering Starting a Candle Shop

I love my candle shop and have a lot of fun making new products and trying new scents! (My husband actually loves helping me make candles, too, so its a lot of fun for both of us.)
To me, the candle market has been a bit hard to break into, but I know it isn't really candle season right now. (I'm hoping things will get better with fall, winter and holidays coming soon!)
Anyway, I say, go for it and have fun!

Thanks Carrie! Candle making is fun and relaxing. I like to compare it to baking sometimes.
