That’s how long it took the 20-year-old Eaton, Ohio, man to become fascinated with entrepreneurship, forge a business idea and start earning money.
“I was studying industrial engineering at Sinclair College and I didn’t like it,” Pieratt said. “So I started studying business. It all happened pretty quick. I went from one step to another.”
Pieratt is now the founder of Wicks of Nature. He sells candles stored in emptied baby-food jars that are placed in a small wooden base.

Stephanie Anderson lights candles every year to honor and remember her family, but this year she had an extra one to light.
Anderson and her friend Gwen Boyd began lighting candles at the Langley Cemetery five years ago when the tradition was first introduced. The pair typically light between 20 and 25 candles each. First they lovingly remember their loved ones by placing a luminary at each of their graves and then together they canvas the cemetery, lighting up other graves.

Hey Wait! This Has Nothing To Do With Candles! But A Nice Story Anyway
Candle Club keeps flame bright
The interior of the supper club is dim, though.
BY DENISE NEIL
The Wichita Eagle
Part of what makes the Candle Club the Candle Club is that its owner rarely agrees to talk about it in the media.
He doesn’t advertise the club, and he doesn’t actively recruit members.
Instead, owner Louis Thompson allows the Candle Club - a mysterious, throw-back supper club with carpet on the walls and no identifying sign on the building - to grow organically, building on a reputation developed during 50 years of business.

Great Information on Eco-Friendly Candles!
IN BRIEF
How Green Is That … Candle?
By Rebecca Benson

| © Way Out Wax |
Getting ready for a holiday party or other special occasion? Don’t spoil it by using paraffin wax candles. Made from the byproducts of crude oil, paraffin wax releases harmful toxins and soot when burned. Setting the mood gets a whole lot greener with these eco-friendly candle options:
Soy: These candles are soot-free and can burn 50% longer than paraffin varieties. Choosing organic and GMO-free will boost your candles’ green factor. Downsides: They do not carry scent as well as other types and the wax is so soft they have to come in a container…so no birthday or menorah soy candles.
Beeswax: 100% pure beeswax candles last long, smell great and release air-cleaning negative ions. Beeswax candles are also allergy-free and come in a variety of natural colors. And when your candle has reached its end, use the leftovers to make lip balm, hand cream or add it to another candle!
Palm Wax: Palm oil comes from the inside of coconuts so it can be extracted without harming the trees. Palm wax is also fully biodegradable, but as with soy candles, look for GMO-free.
LED “Candles”: If you’re looking for a candle that surely won’t release toxins or trigger allergic reactions, try the LED flameless candle. They’re particularly great for outdoor lighting in windy weather, for luminarias and around children. LED candles can be rechargeable and even remote-controlled!

Fall Is In The Air…in the Scents of Candles
- Scented Bark Candle
Wick-edly Sent Announces Fall Candles to Scented Soy Candles Collection
2009-09-21 20:10:46 - The natural bath and scented soy candles company added three new fall candles to jumpstart their holiday season.
Fall Candles create a sense of warmth, the intoxicating fragrances can elevate your mood, and bring back memories. Many consumers think of Fall as the best range of scents for scented soy candles, some of which aren’t found the rest of the year.
“Fall candles are a huge draw for buyers,” Scott Mackey, co-owner says. “Pumpkin spice is our number one seller for a few months before the holidays.” The scented candles come boxed with a label and are shipped nationwide. Fall candles come in Harvest Pumpkin Spice, Cranberry Orange, and Apples and Cinnamon.
Wick-edly Sent is also asking consumers what is their favorite fall moment, or which do they remember most. Moments can be carving out pumpkins for jack o’ lanterns, baking apple pies, or anything that is scent related. Their philosophy is that more than likely fall candles help make that moment more memorable than ever. Consumers can share their stories of fall candles on the company’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/soapandcandles.
Scott also ensures that creating one hundred percent soy candles makes a big difference. When a company says “soy candle blend” it usually means it is only part soy. What’s in the other parts? Paraffin, or petroleum by-products. The scented soy candles are created and tested in house to produce a clean burn, a longer burn time, and their naturally better for the environment.
The fall candles are also a preview of what’s to come. What scents are popular for the 2009 holiday season? Scott predicts a mix of traditional scents, along with some new innovative combinations. As for the scents themselves, the public will have to wait.
