'Daks a great Life!

So....something new.  If you aren't creating new things and moving your business forward each and every day, then you aren't evolving your business all the time.

"Mac" the moose is the Adirondack Candle Company's new mascot, but he's more than our mascot, he was born to deliver a positive outlook on life with positive messages to our followers.  This is an exciting new part to our business and we're going to see where it leads us.


For now you can become a fan of Mac at his facebook fan page at the following link: http://www.facebook.com/DaksagreatLife

So, we hope you enjoy this new part of the Adirondack Candle Company and more importantly we hope that in the end you realize that in many ways......'Daks a great Life!

"Have a Great Adirondack Day"

Hello again!  I wanted to explain our "greeting/salutation" we use, the... "Have a Great Adirondack Day" saying.

As we leave you during our visits, and we wish you this salutation, we are hoping that most importantly you have a great day in general, and secondly that it's a great "Adirondack" day.  That means a day filled with the simplicity and beauty that IS the Adirondack way of life.  A day that would imagined to be sitting in an Adirondack chair on the edge of a calm lake on a warm summer night as the red sun sets in front of you over the pine covered hills in the distance.  It doesn't get any better than that...does it?

It could also be a day spent indoors on a cool night, next to a fire in the lodge fireplace, sitting in a comfortable chair with your family/friends nearby.....oh yeah, and an Adirondack Candle Company candle burning on the nearby table giving you a "calmness" to the day.

Does it get any better than that?  We don't think so.
That's why we always...as I will right now, say goodby for now and wish that you....
"Have a Great Adirondack Day"
Till we meet again...may you be blessed.

....with only 26 days left till this years Open House.

So, with only 26 days left till the busiest week of our Candle year, and while still nursing a broken ankle....I made it back into the "Candle Factory" to be of whatever help a temorary cripple can be!  Actually, as long as I stayed in this one spot I was actually pretty productive and was able to contribute once again to the business, which felt really good again.

It's really tough to be down during this time of year but we've managed to figure out some different ways to do things and ultimately still get them done.  It's still going to be a great Open House this year and we're so very much looking forward to seeing so many dear friends that converge on our house during this time.  We're so thankful and so blessed.

If you're reading this we hope you can make it to the Open House.  Go to www.facebook.com/adirondackcandle and check under "events" to see the details of when and where it is.  We only ask one thing...well 2 things, first we encourage you to bring a friend who also brings a friend, etc...well you get the picture, and second....be ready to have fun!

Thanks so much for following the blog and thanks for supporting the Adirondack Candle Company and our products, we greatly appreciate it!

Have yourself a Great Adirondack Day!

16th Annual Open House

So...it's that time of year again, the time of year when there's a chill in the air, when the leaves start to turn, when the smell of Apple Pie is in the air...and also the time of year when we hold our Annual Adirondack Candle Company Open House.  We LOVE this time of year!

We turn the whole first floor, of our normally quiet, charming country Colonial home into a candle store for 3 days in the first week of November...every year!  Every room?...yes every room, even our kitchen which proudly stocks hand made cookies that match the scents and themes of the candles in that room.  Oh yes, they are free cookies for the many, many people that wander and shop through our home during that time. 

What's so cool is that year after year we hear so many people actually say "thank you" for doing this, "we start our Holiday season every year by coming to this", and "all of us come as a group and either go to dinner before we come or after...it's tradition, we love it".  Wow...that's what keeps us going.  Thank you!

While many people walk through and admire our set up, they don't know that it takes Cathy more than 3 weeks to set up and prepare for this 3 day event.  It's a ton of work...but we could never imagine not doing this year after year.

So, with only about 4-1/2 weeks to go, we're underway in the preperations and looking forward to once again seeing so many great friends that we see gather together at our humble little house of candles!
Thanks for supporting us and helping us grow each and every year.
Have a Great Adirondack Day!
