About Me

pictureI want to share a little about me.  My name is Dawn Hulslander-Shaffer and I am a proud  mom of 3 wonderful kids and one little one on the way.  My kids are the light of my life and the joy in my heart.  Without the love and support of my husband and kids I would not be where I am today.
Originally a candle maker, I fell into making candle and soap silicone molds. Wanting to add value to my candle and soap mold business, FrenchHillCountry.com.

I do have other hobbies.  Horses, snowmobiling, and 4-wheeling to name a few.  I also enjoy camping, roasting marshmallows and knitting.  I am looking forward to getting out on the trails with my sled.  My goal this year is to put 2000 miles on that baby.
Many Blessings To You And Yours

Hi Michele,
That is great you do bees. This is our first year with ours. I cannot wait to put more boxes on our hives. We have a beekeepers meeting coming up this Saturday.
We definitely sell over seas. The hardest part about getting a new pillar mold is getting the wick down. I made a new video that will hopefully give you guidelines to figure it out. Let me know how it goes. http://candlemarketingsweeti.com/blog/2013/05/finding-the-right-wick-new-pillar-mold/
Warmly,
Dawn

Hi Dawn

I am an amateur bee keeper in Brisbane Australia. Apart from selling our honey I would love to make candles from the lovely wax we collect after extracting. I love your primitive bee hive mold. I know absolutely nothing about making candles, but am very eager to learn. I have watched your video on how to attach the wick and pour the wax, but what type of wick do I use? I would so appreciate your help . Any information would be so helpful.
I would like to order the silicione mold for this candle, but wonder if you sell to people overseas.
I hope to hear from you when you can spare the time to reply.
cheers
Michele

Hi. I am having trouble understanding how to price my candles. I did read the article you have on here with the different formulas and sadly I’m still not getting it! Is there anyway you can break it down a little more for me? I would appreciate it! Thanks soo much! Have a great day! :)

Hi,
I live in State College and was very surprised to see paw print molds!!
Do you have a shop you work out of? Where are you located?
What an interesting happening…
