Turn Up the Heat, With Partylite

Since August of 04' I've been involved with the direct sales company, PartyLite.
PartyLite has been selling quality candles and accessories in the United States since 1973, and has expanded into many international markets. You may not have heard of them because we sell only in home demonstrations. I have found the most value in Partylite as compared to other direct sales companies (Avon, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Taste of Home, Passion Party) not that there's anything wrong with those, I've just found Partylite to be more satisfying for me.
So what's it all about?
The quality of PartyLite candles continues a tradition set by a New England schoolteacher and entrepreneur, Mabel Baker. In 1905, Mabel began to make candles from the bayberries on Cape Cod. Her business grew and flourished for years as Colonial Candle of Cape Cod. For more about Mabel, click here.
In 1973, Colonial Candle of Cape Cod set up PartyLite Gifts, Inc. to sell excess inventory of candles from their factory and gift shop in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

From those humble beginnings, Mabel's passion grew and GREW.
Mabel Kimball Baker died at the age of ninety-four, in 1965. That year, the business that was built from a bayberry was a $6 million operation!
PartyLite came along in 1973 as an outlet for the excess inventory from Mabel's company, Colonial Candle of Cape Cod. Today, we follow Mabel Baker's tradition of quality with a product line of over 400 candles and accessories each year. Candles are offered in more than 25 fragrances and colors, and a myriad of shapes and sizes. Where and how would you like to place a candle in your home? We've got the perfect one for you!
