Hello and welcome to Fabulous Scents Vintage ~ actually its Fabulous Scents with Vintage tagged on if we are being pedantic. If you follow Fab you know I have been making candles for a long time and after coming back from America ~I needed a change. Fabulous Scents needed to change. I looked all over the internet and on every social media I could find and saw that we were all doing............the same thing. Lets be different I shouted to Mr Fab! Lets try and do something that no one else does!!!! While traveling through America ~including Route 66 ~ as ya do ~ we saw the original Ball Mason Jars everywhere and I gotta say ~ I fell in love! They are EVERYWHERE in the US but not here. So keeping with our Upcycled and Recycled frame of mind we thought.......Could they become a Fabulous Scents Soy Wax Candle? I do believe they could.............................
So began a long and time consuming few months of research and testing. We also decided to use the New Ball Mason and have found a fabulous
Australian supplier who is looking after us and helping in every way
they can. The biggest problem with the Vintage Masons was obtaining the jars. Our first lot we sourced from Ebay Australia and quite frankly ~we paid for them. HOWEVER ~ Ohhhh my the candles were divine!!!! They burnt perfectly , looked amazing and so began an obsession. We have managed to find some absolutely wonderful sellers who love and appreciate these beautiful pieces of history just as much as we do. They have given a fair price and the only thing that drives me insane? WAITING!!! I have to wait for the damn things to arrive from the states!!! So ~instead of whining I thought I better do some more research and make sure I could date these babies and know what I was talking about if I am going to supply a quality product to appreciative people who obviously have style and extremely good taste....
