Welcome to Expressive Candles Newsletter Issue 4

Hello everyone. How is everybody today? The Holidays are here! The Fall season and cooler weather are here, well in the 70's here in Florida, but that is cooler for Florida. Well, it's been a busy month with craft fairs and such. Even have a few stores that picked up our candles. We hope to have at least one store in every major city pick up our candle line in the future. But I was able to get a few new products out this month.

In this weeks issue:

What's New
For the rest of the month of November, we are offering Free shipping on all orders $50 and more. During the Holiday season many people buy more of any given item, so we want to help you out and save on your order.

Two New Candles. We have two new holiday candles. Our first one is a Triple Layer 16oz Jar Candles. It comes with three scents and multicolored.

Our second candle is a Christmas Chunk Candle Holder Pillar set. It comes with three different size pillars 3", 4" and 6" high. Each one has a votive holder inside, allowing you to burn tea lights inside while preserving your pillars for decoration.

We have decided to extend the Breast Cancer Awareness tarts until the end of the month. We will continue to give proceeds of our sales on this particular product. Expressive Candles will continue to support various charities and organizations every month. For December we will offer proceeds to Toys for Tots. This is our way of giving back to the community. Thank you for all your help.

Upcoming News
Currently we are working on some new candles for Christmas. We will also be having a lot of sales in the upcoming weeks for Christmas. So I'll keep you all informed. As a special treat to our newsletter subscribers, Expressive Candles will be sending out coupons to newsletter subscribers for the holidays.

Expressive Candles is working to establish a supplier for Tart Warmers, Jar Topper, Jar Hugger and other candles accessories. We hope to have these in a week for the holidays.

Candle Decorating

This month we are giving out tips for candle decorating. Sorry no projects this month. Candles and candle light are always a great enhancement to your home. It helps set the mood or add a decorative touch in any room.

Tip 1.
Varying heights of multiple candles is a great way to fill space. By adding different size pillars or even putting some on candle stands can create a dynamic feel to a space. Just like a mountain is sometimes better to look at than a round hill. There is more to see.

Tip 2.
Mirrors is a simple and effective way to enhance your candles. Using mirrors as a base or behind a candle will throw off more light. Crystal shaped glass or containers are also a great idea for showing off more light in a more interesting way.

Tip 3.
Combine scents. Some scents will go great together. My favorite is to mix Apple with Sugar Cookie. It smells like apple crisp. Experiment, and you may find a wonderful scent.

Tip 4.
Decorative glass candle holders. During the holiday season we like to dress our table up a little. Try putting some berries or nuts in a couple of wine glasses and then putting a Tea Light in the center of the nuts or berries. These will create a nice center piece or table decoration.

Tip 5.
Color is a great way to mix it up. Having several color pillar candles of different heights will add eye candy. For the Fall seasons try using browns reds and yellows. Just think of fall leaves.

Tip 6.
Use candles as Art. Candles are being used more frequently as a art design. For example you could place a colored square of paper or glass on the fireplace mantel. Then you would put some pillars of different sizes in front of the square. Depending on the colors you choose. The candles will look as though they are framed and highlighted. Colors can really bring out the fireplace and candles.

Testimonials
Hello,
I HAD to write to praise you on your teddy bear tarts. I have never had a tart keep it's scent through the whole burning process like these do. My sister was just commenting on how she loves to burn tarts but the ones she buys from Hallmark loose their scent after the second burning and she has to throw the wax away. When I received these tarts...I put three in the tart burner, they have gone through 3 tea lights and they still smell wonderful. I will surely recommend your tarts to whom ever asks about the ones I have. I just wanted you to know how pleased I am with my e-bay purchase from you. Thank you so much. I WILL be buying again. Have a Great Labor Day Weekend.
Carole
