So far today it is Mainstays Sweet Pea.

Michele--I will be praying for your friend and am glad your SIL is OK. This afternoon it is Yankee Summer Scoop--love this one!

On this rainy Wednesday I have on Mainstays Flower Bouquet--this is a wonderful floral fragrance--I am really enjoying this one.

Starting my day with Mainstays Sun Splashed.

This afternoon it is Yankee Waikiki Melon. This is a great scent. Smells a lot different burning than cold. It is a melon scent but not a sharp, harsh melon. More melon mixed with fruit--love it. It is beautiful burning, too.

Michelle --congrats on 20 years and have a great getaway. Debra--I got Yankee Paradise Spice, Red Velvet and Banana Berry plus BBW Garden Freesia (which is burning now) and Pear. Also got some Fresh Picked Tangerine Body Wash at BWW while I was at it.

I was at the mall the first part of the day and came home with some candles, of course. Then worked outside with hubby and son for awhile which is totally unlike me--I don't like the outdoors but it was kind of fun. Now I am finishing up a Mainstays Wild Honeysuckle candle and then this evening will probably light up something vanilla. Hope everyone has a nice evening.

Good Morning--starting mine with BBW First Bloom--nice floral --mix of peonies and plumaria--at least that is what I am smelling.

For this evening it is Yankee Vanilla Cupcake.

On this beautiful afternoon I have on Pear from BBW--I am really liking this one. I have the bath gel in it and used it last night and I liked that too. I think I will pick up some more at the mall tomorrow before they discontinue it. Ha!

Starting the morning with Wild Honeysuckle from Mainstays.

For the rest of the day it is Yankee Red Velvet and Mainstays Vanilla.

On this breezy, warm afternoon it is BBW Bahama Fizz--this is a great fruit scent--fresh and crisp--makes me want to make a fresh fruit salad and dig in.

Good Morning--starting mine with BBW Pineapple Mango.

For the rest of the day it is Vanilla Cupcake from Yankee. It has been an absolutely perfect spring weather day here--finally--so nice to have the windows open for a change.

Debra--the Melon Margarita is a very nice melon scent--very similar to Yankee's Sweet Melon they used to have--maybe not quite as sweet. It was strong, too, but not overpowering. Starting my Friday with Mainstays Wild Honeysuckle. Have a great day, everyone.

This evening it is Mainstays Vanilla.

For the rest of the afternoon it is White Barn Pineapple Orchid.

Just started my two wick Yankee Melon Margarita awhile ago and already I am getting a great scent throw. This is reminiscent of Yankee's former Sweet Melon but not quite as sweet--very nice melon fragrance.

Rivercat--no, my friend at Yankee wasn't sure what was wrong but he was going to send the candle back with a note telling them what happened so I am sure they will be looking into it, especially if others end up with the same problem. Starting the day with a Mainstays Mulled Cider candle that has been hanging around two thirds burnt since fall. Decided to just finish it and get it out of my way. I love this scent, but not usually at this time of the year.

Susan--I always enjoyed that Lilac Mist scent--haven't had it in ages but I remember it was a good one. Well, I exchanged my stinky Yankee candle. The manager of the store I go to is a good friend of mine so when I told him my experience nothing would do but that he had to light it and see for himself. Fifteen minutes later he decided he'd better blow it out before the entire store was engulfed. Don't know what the problem was as the wax itself was OK. Must have been a tainted wick or something. I got a Red Velvet instead and my house is smelling really good now!

Thanks, Maggie, Jules and Sweet for your comments. I am hoping to head to the Yankee store today to return my weird smelling candle. Yes, the poor cat was totally innocent, but you sure wouldn't have thought so from the smell. I put on that spring avatar in the hope that spring will get busy and show up around here. Ha!! Starting the day with BBW Pineapple Mango.

For this afternoon it is Yankee Triple Berry--one of the new Cool Pops fragrances for summer. This one is going back to the store tomorrow. When it is lit it fills the house with a nasty smell that had all three of us who were here going to check the litter box--if you KWIM? None of us had said a word to the others we just all thought the same thing. Once you blow it out, however, or if you stand right over it it smells like a nice berry scent. I am replacing it with YC Vanilla Cupcake and BBW Strawberry.

We are having sleet at the moment and I have on Mainstays Raspberry Parfait.

Starting my day with Mainstays Island Luau--have a great day everyone!
