Title: New Soy Blended Wax!~
We are so excited to share with all of you our new soy blended wax!~ We have been testing for the last 3 months and finally have found a wax that throws much better than our old wax and the wick does not mushroom like in the past.
We have been listening to our customers and most of you were fine with our old wax but there were some that were seeing more sooting and didn't like the mushroom on the wick.
I was test burning a Vanilla Bliss last evening and I was sitting out on our deck and could smell the scent coming through the screen door!~
This is still a soy blended wax but it is our own mix. We have found a great combination that we know you are going to love!~
The colors are still vibrant and the candles look the same but the scent throw is so much better!~ I know when my husband says "You need to blow out that candle" that I it has a great throw!
That is all for now. Have a great weekend!~

Title: Displaying Candle Tips
Here are a couple of tips for displaying your candles:
1. If doing summer shows, try to keep your candles out of the sun. Which is hard sometimes depending on where you are setup. Even using wooden crates to create some shade might help.
2. When displaying your candles at show, only put out a few selected items at a time in case, some do start to melt.
3. If displaying candles in a store, do not sit at a display window to prevent fading.
4. Even flourescent lights can fade candles. We do use a UV product in our candles to help prevent fading.
5. If you have problems with fading candles or know you will be sitting in the sun at a show, you may want to select our uncolored candles option.

Title: Vacation
Just to update and let everyone know. Backroad Hobbies will be closed July 26th-August 2nd.
And we will also be closed in August for 2 weeks. Our daughter is due to have a baby and they live in Wyoming. This is our first grandchild so we are planning to take at least 2 weeks to go out and stay with them. Our target date is somewhere around the end of August but if the baby comes early our time could be moved up. We will try and keep everyone posted as well as we can.
