Botanical candles

lol I like the snowman. Is he a candle ?

The snowman is frosted glass...you can set him in a window or whatever...maybe a tea light under it but probably not..it could crack the glass with the heat I would think. You have just given me an idea..I bet a christmas light inside it would be good....LOL..thanks Hywel!

You have such unusual things for sale.
Do you source items through catalogues or do you find the stock at special events ?

looks like a place i could spend hrs in

Me too Eileen ,great shop CJ

I have been in business for quite a few years and have tons of reps...they come to me with most of it now. There was a time though that I traveled to the gift shows and researched on the internet...I have so many lines now and good ones with lots of variety that I don't have to research so much...that was half the fun....I use my gut feelings and does it makes me smile, tingle a comfortable sensory place such as smell or feel...strum a heart string... as to whether I buy it or not. When I first opened Mud Cat...I planned my inventory around ..what would a cat like...it still is to a point...

Irish & Janette...would love to have you for hours too...I have ladies who spend hours one was there for 3 hours...LOL...when ladies come in with their husbands they always tell me on their way out...I will be back without him...LOL..they never get enough time with the husband with them...there are men who like it very much though...had a gentle man from LosAngles in just the other day...brought in his friends on his way through and told me he stops in every time he comes through, it is his favorite shop along the way...always makes me feel good especially on the quiet days that I have been having lately.

Sorry to hear the recession is affecting you too with some quieter times in your shop. How about putting a sign outside saying all the countries where your shop has "fans" ~ Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Hungary, Fiji, Canada, Brazil, Australia etc.etc.etc. :o)

CJ , if janette and myself were ever to visit you wouldnt get us out of there for days lol

Lol Irish ~
Catfinch will need to write in large letters IRELAND and ENGLAND. Lol. ;o)
