Excellent company! I loved everything in my last order...even the Cider Donut candle burns beautifully! The scents are very realistic to me and since I got RTS...they arrived fast. Love the Pumpkin Pancakes and Fresh Cut Grass!

I love this place. Excellent customer service and some very good products. Her body butter is excellent, but she is not selling it during the summer months.

Deb, most of the customs I create are bakery-based. I'm not sure how I would do blending up the other scents. I say to try to mix a couple of your favorite type of scents, though. Or I've seen pink sugar mixed with lavender and such. I think I even have one of her Pink Lavender mixes. I'll have to let you know.

I've never ordered from here but I've had my eye on them for awhile. I should make a mid-year resolution to order from vendors on my "to try" list instead of always going with my favorites. That'd be kinda hard to accomplish though. :rolleyes: I love Sugar and Spice's website layout and graphics!

Me, too, Gail - the web colors are great!

I am hoping that she does more tarts in smaller sizes! A big ol' pound of crumbles could be too much for a scent I have not tried - and the RTS does not always have the flavors I am looking at! Maybe if we hint... [smilie=th_pardon]

I ordered here over a year ago and was very pleased with everything I got! [smilie=yes] I look for unique scent blends and Shanna makes great ones! [smilie=th_i-m_so_happy] When I ordered, anything on the scent list was available. I'm just now realizing that's not the way it is now and only the RTS scents are available. [smilie=crap] I'm with you Debra - I'd rather be able to order what I really want and not limited. Hint...schmint...let's holler... [smilie=th_shout] Ya know what they say....the squeaky wheel gets greased. [smilie=th_pardon]

Agreed. That's a great one. Have you tried her Sugar Cookie Dough Bread?

I haven't tried that one yet, but now I know what scent to pick for my second bag of crumbles. Budget-wise I wanted to get two bags and I knew one would be CC Cookies & Milk. Sugar Cookie Dough Bread sounds insanely good.

Oooo, how fun!

Sugar & Spice has a whole page on Candle Safety. There's a lot of good tips here, and one I especially like says to use a snuffer to extinguish a candle because it's the safest way to avoid splattering hot wax. I love snuffers!

Hey Guys! Did you see on her facebook wall she says she will take requests for scents that go on her RTS list? [smilie=th_WooHooRainbowWaveJack I think I'd love to try Million Dollar Shortbread! Too bad I'm not actually on facebook... :(

I missed that on FB, Maggie. Good to know, thanks!

I'm checking out the Odor Eliminator Room Spray. It doesn't come in all her scents, but there's a nice choice of 20. I'd probably go for Love Spell or Juniper Breeze, but a bunch of them sound really good!

Oh my, that does indeed sound good, Maggie! I love original scents!

It looks like their 8 oz. candles are single wicked and the 16 oz. are double. The 8 oz. costs $8 and the 16 oz. is $13.50. I'd likely gravitate towards the 16 oz. because of the double wicks.
