6" & 3" Champagne Roses Rings w/ 4" Falmouth & 3 x 7 Vanilla Pillar (36795 bytes)Is this grouping beautiful or what? Picture this on the Head table at a Wedding Reception. It consists of our 4" Falmouth, 3x7 Pillar, and our 6" and 3" Champagne Rose Rings. The total cost of this grouping is only $92.60. The great part of this is you can get it at no cost with a $300 party and 2 bookings. Talk about painless. Or better yet, a pair of them, one for the bride and one for the groom

First of all I would love to welcome Renee S. to my team, the LiteSavers. She is a recent hostess who decided to make some of her dreams come true becoming a consultant. If averaging $35 per hour having fun could make some of your dreams come true, call me and I will answer any questions you might have. It is definitely a win win proposition, and you have NOTHING to lose. Think about it.

I am including something new with my newsletters. It is a Wax Opera. There will be a chapter added every month. Throughout the chapter there will be references to specific products or candles in general. The first 10 people that call me or email me with their answer to the number of references will get 10% off their next order or a 3-Wick for half price at their show held within 30 days.

First I want to thank Brenda Ooms, a fellow consultant. It was her idea for the Wax Opera and the title (which I LOVE). Thank you Brenda for the great Idea. Brenda will be introduced later in the storyline. Wait till you see how she affects the story.

HINT: Print up the story, grab your catalog, light a candle, and see how many references you can find.

HAVE A RE"WAX"ING DAY

AS THE CANDLE BURNS

CHAPTER 2

Is that Princess Leigh, I see coming. Yes, it is. But, who is that with her? No, it can't be, could it, her son Kirk and her daughter Vanessa. The last time I saw them they were wee little cherubs. Now look at him, a strapping young man, let me see, probably around 18 by now. And her 16, with that cascade of flaming red hair. Unbelievable how time flies. I knew them when Leigh was just a commoner making ends meet. Remarkably she was making ends meet as her villages local candle merchant. Not the exceptional high quality candles I sell, but nice enough in a quaint kind of way (don't tell her I said that). Excuse me, I have to run to meet her.

"Leigh, how are you? Excuse me, Princess Leigh. It is great to see you. It has been way too long." At that point I give her a big hug. I don't know if it is proper etiquette, but so what.

She returns the hug and looks me straight in the eye and tells me we have to talk later on a very important matter. Well, with me being the "Ambassador of Information", I couldn't let her drop it at  that, I would go crazy. What I drag out of her is that she sold her candle business to the local apothecary shop. Soon after that folks started getting sick and some have died. She is afraid it is all surrounding the candle business she sold. She made quite a profit on the sale of her company, but now she feels the illness and deaths are tied into the candles. She even went so far as to plant a spy in the Villa where the candles are made. Her suspicion was that they were slightly poisoning the wicks of the candles, so the folks who got sick would need the services of the apothecary. He had an accident before he was able to report back to her and now she is afraid that the new owners know she knows something and might try something to keep her quiet about her suspicions. She has always been a paragon of virtue and style, so to see her this upset was disturbing. I told her we would talk about this at length and I would do whatever I could, to get to the bottom of this.

She quickly wanted to change the subject, so she talked about her new life in her castle by the sea or "La Mer" as she likes to say. She said she loves the solitude of getting up early in the morning when the grass is still wet from the ocean mist and the sky is brand new, full of possibilities. She loves to help people and this position really gives her the chance to do just that. I asked her if she wouldn't mind taking our Kingdom's sweetheart, Contessa Dianne DeCartier (who looks stunning in teal), under her wing and help her with all she needs to do to pass the "Queen Quiz". We all love the Contessa Dianne DeCartier (who looks stunning in teal), so any help she can get will be appreciated by all. I will be introducing Princess Leigh to the Contessa right away. Princess Leigh said she has a special teal dress for the celebration of Queen Mabel's birthday which is tomorrow. You can feel the exhilaration in the air. Princess Leigh of Venice takes her leave of me, heading to her chamber. My head is spinning with the myriad images of what she has been going through emotionally with her people. I hope I can help her get to the bottom of the problem, as it sounds dangerous for her.

Here come's Lady Sylvia of Cheehyville. She is the local tax collector. She took over the job when her husband was killed in the Great Battle. Being tax collector is a job most wouldn't want. She is a little corrupt, skimming taxes off the top, but boy can she party. Wick Icarus, the Victorian Gigolo has his  eye on her for obvious reasons, a meal ticket. Normally she is too smart to let that happen, but solitude can make a person do things they normally wouldn't do. We shall see what kind of indulgence she succumbs to.

The celebration begins at awakening tomorrow, so get a good nights sleep so you can enjoy everything in store for us all.
