This is the brand that our local health food stores are carrying now as a replacement for the Coyote Found candles they used to carry. Creative Candles
They have a large variety of beautiful colors in their taper collection. They aren't 100% beeswax though - it's a beeswax blend. And they seem to be more expensive than Coyote Found - $7 a pair.

I found this company while I was looking around -- haven't bought anything, though.

I found these soy candles but they take a long time to ship. I wanted blue ones for Monday. Can't find anything locally. Mary's link doesn't seem to have blue pillars either. What's up with that? I'm thinking I'm going to make candles...

OK, that is weird since they have blues in the tapers and ball candles.
Making candles is fun, Elizabeth! In fact I'm off to do just that right now - some Epiphany ones.

Oh, Mary, I love the image of you making candles during a blizzard! Do post pictures! I actually have some soy wax and some blue dye but I don't have molds for pillar candles. Orange juice containers, maybe??

Yeah - me and Ma Ingalls!
Yes, you can use o.j. containers. Other possible molds around the house are yogurt containers or waxed milk cartons.

I made both frankincense and myrrh votive candles. I did take a few pictures and will try to post.
