Our "training a new candlemaker" sale
Hopefully we make perfection in a beeswax candle look effortless at Queen B... the reality, however, is that whilst we may look beautiful and graceful above water, below the surface we're going like the clappers. The training process at Queen B is long and rigorous and there are a LOT of candles rejected along the way. One's that won't burn properly get melted down again, but there are many with slight blemishes that will burn perfectly and wear their 'scars' with pride! They go in to 'Seconds World' - first place that most visitors to the hive go. For the next 48 hours (or until we sell out) we thought we'd open it up to our loyal fans that can't make it to the hive.
There are many things that are 'one off's' (or ten off's as the case may be) and others that we can safely open to the masses without creating disappointment. For the next 48 hours (finishing at 11.59pm on Tuesday 8th October 2013 - unless we run out prior) we're making the following Seconds World bargains available:
1. 4 x Seconds Squat Pillars - 20% off and usually just because the Queen B wax seal logo wasn't quite perfect when applied... each candle has an approximate 40 hour burn time (designed for longer burning - 3+ hours at a time)
2. 3 x 15cm Narrow Pillar - Honeycomb - 20% off... these one's may lean a little or have a top which isn't perfectly flat (and I am a bit of a perfectionist, so often the flaw may not even be visible to you). Approximate 50 hour burn time each.
3. 2 x 15cm "Chubby" Beeswax Pillar Candles - 20% off... usually just because the Queen B wax seal logo wasn't quite perfect when applied... each candle has an approximate 100 hour burn time (designed for longer burning - 3+ hours at a time)
4. 4 x Burning Love candles - 25% off... these are surprisingly tricky to make and are for the realists... for those with slightly flawed relationships... with scars and blemishes... with slight cracks, a slight hole in the head or a marginally bruised arm (we've discounted them accordingly... and funnily, they're a favourite amongst customers who visit the hive)!
5. 4 x 15cm Solid Pillar - 20% off... and usually just because the Queen B wax seal logo wasn't quite perfect when applied... each candle has an approximate 40 hour burn time
6. 3 x 10cm Medium Hand-rolled Honeycomb Beeswax Pillar Candle - 20% off... these one's may lean a little or have a top which isn't perfectly flat (and I am a bit of a perfectionist, so often the flaw may not even be visible to you). Approximate 50 hour burn time each.
The road to perfection is littered with experiences that make us who we are.
