Finally, you can order good quality glass candle jars with no minimum! I’ve ordered from this website’s parent company, The Jar Store, for years, but my main complaint was always not being able to order …

Here is the special ordering info on a secret page! I got waylaid by Mother’s Day, so I wasn’t able to get this out this weekend. As a result, I’m going to wait until Saturday to place the order.
Quick info: Bath Melt Molds ~ Lotion Bar Molds ~ Stainless Measuring Cups ~ Ordering Info
These are plastic chocolate craft molds (not as durable as the professional stuff, but less expensive than the “real thing”) in super-cute seasonal shapes. The imprints are small, which makes them great for bath melts made of pure butters and oils.
There are 8 – 12 imprints per sheet, and the sheets are about 9″ x 7″.
I love this shape — I’m going to tint them pink-orange, I think, and use a tropical fragrance (mango? passionfruit?)
Diameter: 1 1/2″
Depth: about 1/3″
Availability: Can get 12.
Maybe for the 4th of July? Stars are just a cute shape, especially in multi colors.
Diameter for Star 1: 1 1/8″
Depth: 5/16″ (just over 1/4″)
Availability: Can get 5.
Diameter for Star 2 (below): 1 1/8″
Depth: 7/16″ (almost 1/2″)
Availability: Can get 5.
Another cute shape for summer.
Diameter: 1 7/8″
Depth: around 1/3″
Availability: Can get 5.
Diameter: 1 3/8″
Depth: 9/32″ (a little more that 1/4″)
Availability: I can get 8.
Diameter for Shell 1 (below): 1 3/8″
Depth: around 1/3″
Availability: Can get 6
Diameter for Shell 2 (below): 2 1/2″ (large!)
Depth: 3/4″
Availability: Can get 4.
This is what we used in the shop for our honeysuckle/rose bath melts.
Diameter for the first mold:29/32″ (almost 1″)
Depth: 23/64″ (about 1/3″)
Availability: Can get 5.
Diameter for heart mold 2 (below): 1 1/4″
Depth: about 1/3″
Availability: Can get 7
I can also get bigger hearts, up to 2″ across. They look the same as heart 1, just larger.
These are for making bigger bath melts (ones that are bath bombier and have more powder than butters), and lotion bars. I don’t have the photos for each, but I do have dimensions.
Heart dimensions: 2.5″ x 1 3/8″
Depth: 1 3/8″
The madeleines are more like bath melt size.
Dimensions: 1 5/8″ x 1 1/8″
Depth: 1/2″
These are large, and I’m getting them specifically for making lotion bars. A bit experimental, but more eye-catching than plain bars. Then again, can you go wrong with plain bars?
Dimensions: 2 3/4″ square at base
Depth: 1 1/2″
Dimensions: 3 1/8″ x 1 1/8″
Depth: 1 1/8″
Expensive, but so nice to have. Plus, the largest size goes to 2 quarts. They all look the same, so I’m only posting one photo:
Sizes, from smallest to largest:
Set price: $130 ($153 individually.)
Just like old days, I’m going to take pre-orders. Email me what you want, and I’ll send you an invoice with PayPal. You don’t have to have PayPal to pay the invoice — you can use any major credit card.
If the availability info is wrong and I can’t get what you ordered, I’ll just give you a refund before I place the order with the supplier. If you have any questions, just email me.

I know, it’s been – yikes – at least a year since I’ve posted here. But I’ve been busy being a mom, and making the most of these pre-K years! If I’m going to be at home, I’m going to be at home, you know? I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity, too. So many people don’t have the chance — though I have far less money, it’s an incredible luxury.
Anyway, I’ve been getting into a new obsession: gardening. It’s the third year, and I feel good about my progress. I actually am on time, and it’s a great growing season (because we have running water. If this had been the 1800s, it would be another story.) I added another tomato & squash area and a watermelon vine. It grows what my mom calls “personal watermelons,” and we have the space. Actually, it’s the city’s land, on the parkway that we’re charged with maintaining. Since it is already planted with butt-ugly flowers that bring to mind how Target tries to “landscape up” their parking lots, I don’t think the tomatoes and watermelon could make it worse…
I’m also doing a simulated forest corner in a shady, unused area by my fence because I really wanted to try growing wintergreen berries. Alas, the time is running out for any other berry bushes, such as aronia or lingonberry, but I’ll check with the local nursery to see what they have.
This winter, I’ll be getting into small-scale window hydroponics and, of course, sprouting. My sprouting technique needs to be revisited though… they keep molding!
I will say this: The original method I started with, Food 4 Wealth? It really is great for small spaces, but it does take some practice in learning exactly how to get the most out of it. Still, I have remained mostly pest-free, and that is great if you’re doing organic gardening. I’m not phased by a few holes in my lettuce or spiderwebs on my chard — I can share.
See my Year 3 Update for the Food4Wealth method.
