Candles or Lanterns

Sarah is participating in her first fund-raiser.  It is a fund-raiser that benefits her preschool.  She is selling candles, and is proving to be a great little sales lady!

We got to smell all of the candle scents that are available last week.  Phoebe, Sarah, and Sarah's friend Carey all had fun taking the lids off, and giving each candle a sniff or two.  My favorites are the Mandarin Mulberry, Warm Cinnamon Pumpkin, and the Iced Gingerbread.  Sarah's favorite is Angel Wings.  All of our least favorite was the Lavender Spice.

Here are a few memorable sales moments so far...

She was on the phone with Aunt Lindsee, and asked her if she wanted to buy a candle, Lindsee said, "sure".  Sarah replied, "okay, how about two or three?"

I was on the phone talking with Beki, and Sarah said, "Who are you talking to?  I want to ask her to buy a candle."  She then got on the phone with Beki.  I heard Beki ask her what kinds there were and Sarah said, "wait, let me get the menu".

Sarah practicing with me what she would say when she asked someone to buy a candle... "I am selling lanterns..."  me, "Sarah, what are you selling?"  Sarah, "Lanterns, um candles."

Sarah on the phone with Popee... asking him to buy a candle, then suggested he get two or three!

Sarah selling a candle to our good friend Ras... told him to get the purple one.  So he did!

Maybe it is her little girl charm, maybe it is her sweet suggestions, maybe it is her cute sales pitch, or maybe the way she tries to name off each scent that is available... Whatever it is she is good at it and it has been fun to listen and watch her try to sell candles.

So, if you are interested in getting a candle from Sarah she will be selling them until Oct. 2nd.  They are $10 each and will be delivered to you by, if not before Thanksgiving.  These candles are from "Celebrating Home".  They can be viewed by clicking here on the words CELEBRATING HOME CANDLE CHOICES.   The candles all have 100% cotton wicks and meet or exceed all Federal Safety requirements, and all of the candles are a soy-blend wax.
