Weekly Featured Artist September 27, 2008

There are so many talented people on etsy that many slip through the cracks which is unfortunate for buyers and sellers alike.

This is my attempt to help those artist get the exposure they deserve and to help etsy consumers find some really great products they may have otherwise missed out on.

Each week (Starting this Sunday) I will present you with a new artist.  Each blog will include pictures of available items, background information on the artist, comments from previous buyers and a link to their store.

DO NOT MISS OUT!!!!

Also, if you know someone who you would like to see a feature on, please let me know so I may contact the artist.

My intro into the world of wordpress. September 22, 2008

Hello fellow bloggers and hello those who do not blog but took time out of their day to read what I have to say.

My name is Chasa, I the 28 year old mother of three.  I am a candle maker and a licensed practical nurse.

The purpose of my blog is to keep my current and future customers updated on things that are occurring with my store.

What store you ask?  Well Mountaineer Candle Company of course.  Never been to it you say??  Well, click here to see what you are missing.

The store looks a little barren right now but I promise that will change as time goes on.  The following are some new items you will see listed in the up coming weeks:

~Wick-less tarts
~Tea lights
~Break apart Melts
~Soy Massage Candles
~Candles for Fall

Another thing you will want to watch out for is my FIRST EVER contest and giveaway!!!  It starts October 6, 2008.  I will not tell you what the contest will be but the winner will receive:

These are my harvest mega melts.  Each one of these wickless tarts weighs 3 oz.  The winner of the contest will receive a set of 4 for a total of 12 ounces of smelly goodness.  These melts have a total burn time of about 120 hours.
