    Good Morning Beth and Welcome! That particular Lavendar Cream is from Nene's! My absolute favorite oil version of this comes from Bath and Body Works.

     

    Another great Lavendar is Bella's Lavendar and Coconut Milk-it is very similar to the Lavendar Cream from Nene's(which I buy by the pound [smilie=th_316785e4] ).

     

    This morning I have CHC Birthday Cake on-I am soooooo hungry! This one actually lasted overnight and I woke up to the smell wafting in my bedroom-now that is what I call a wake up call!!! [smilie=th_happy096]

    Tonight I have Berry Minty or Minty Berry(can't remember which) from Sheba's Secrets. Too strong on the berry and had to shut it off.

     

    Had a sample from LOL on earlier, apple cinnamon. This did great at first, but gave out quickly.

    DH put Slate and Stone on in the Living Room-this is a great masculine cologne dupe and actually complemented the apple cinn quite well.

     

    Lavendar Cream still going upstairs,day two and still strong...

    I have been having a heck of a day with melting! I started the day with Refreshing in the MBR and Breathe Deeply in the dining room. Lavendar Cream in the upstairs powder room.

     

    Breathe left me feeling like I needed to clean-it smelled like Pledge! Out it went-next up Antique Linen and Lace in the melter with a Lavendar Mint candle to complement. Could not get more than a waft every now and again. So I rummaged in the basket and came up with Bamboo Cabin-it smells good now, but am wondering how long it will last.

     

    I guess I am just being very picky tonight!

     

    On a high note-just put the girls to bed and could smell that wonderful Lavendar Cream in both of their bedrooms(which are at opposite ends of the floor) :lol:

    Now its time for me to relax![smilie=th_blij51]

    Well Guys and Dolls-

    I had to haul out the candle shade! I haven't had to use one of those in ages, and it took a bit to locate. I forgot that this is a paraffin candle. I generally use soy or blends.

    Not detecting a throw at all yet [smilie=th_blij51] ! Patience is a virtue!

     

    Thanks for the tip on the melts-I ordered 3 clamshells also, so I will throw 2 in at a time!

    [smilie=snoopy] I just got home to LOL in the mail. Wow these are huge! The cold smells are incredible! The shipping was fast, the service fantastic! I am very impressed so far! She threw in several samples, and they smell fantastic!

    We cut one in half and threw it on-I can already smell it! Now the one question remains-how long will it last? If it lasts as long as you all say-I think I may have to put this vendor right up at the top of the list!

     

    We are currently melting Sleigh ride-which is exactly that! A fresh exhilirating scent, with a hint of citrus and cinnamon! [smilie=cloud_9]

    Wow-I am really liking this new forum. Now lets see if I can use it...

    [smilie=cloud_9] What kind of damage can I do with this thing???

     

    Anyway- I am melting Bella's Bella this afternoon. I REALLY like this scent! It is kind of powdery, and a little amber, and smooth. Hard to describe, I just know I love it!

    Evening all-

    I am still on the lavendar cream from this morning, also have that Cranberry Orange Parfait going again. I have Rain Forest simmering in the powder room.

     

    The wraparound porch and the big bay window is what drew me to this old thing. I do love her, but the renovations are killing me. Just when we get one room done how we want, something else needs immediate attention. Then, you have to get approval from the historical society on every stinkin thing you want to do...blah...blah...blah.

     

    But, enough of that!

     

    I think I am going to put out the lavendar for a while and throw on something from Bella's- I have narrowed it down to three: Bella, Romantic Evening, or True Love-which one do you all think I should do????

    Thanks Cyn-not such a dream when we get the monster utility bills! Lol! These days I am just looking forward to the day we can buy a nice houseboat and RV and retire!!!

     

    I picked up a wonderful new candle this evening, from Homemade Creations. Cranberry Orange Parfait. It smells so good! Its soy and has one wick, so we'll see how well it burns. It even came with a recipe card to make the Parfaits! Too cute!

    Well I finally got my mosaic burners from Tart warmers! I have to say that it was worth the wait!

     

    I love the green mosaic, it is so pretty! It looks wonderful in the living room( I live in an old victorian style house-with wide white trim and crown molding,window seat and all that), we painted in a nice sage color.

     

    I turned it on right away, to see how hot and fast it would melt. It melted my CHC tart very quickly and has a good throw-I put in Green English Ivy(can you see my green theme here?lol..)

     

    I am loving it so far! Can't wait to try all of the different waxes. This seems to perform better than my other night light burners so far.

    Boogie-

    That is their website. I love the smell on these melts, but they are not a 2 day melter for sure. The approx burn time on these are only 5 hours. That is pretty close, if you are using a tealight melter. They do last longer in the electric.

     

    I love the Amber Enchantment,Snow Day,Mango Papaya(WOW), Black Magic, Bermuda Breeze, and Clean Linen-that pretty much hits every where on the fragrance scale!: )

     

    I think you get a discount if you use the candlefind link above, and they have some pretty good scents on sale. My shipping was offset by the discount I received, so in essence it was free.

    They only do clamshell melts. They are paraffin.

    These will work great if you like to change scents often.

    Melting Illuminescents Amber Enchantment this morning. This is nice, very smooth, not overpowering. It compares quite nicely with Nene's Oriental Amber. This company has parrafin tarts,very hard and large clamshell packaging. The cold smell is fantastic on all of them. The burn time specified is 5 hours per piece of clamshell-we'll see how long for sure...: )

    Mom-

    Take a look on the Q board, Griselda posted the whole history of the Lamp. If you ever go to Hallmark you'll see them-they kind of resemble a perfume bottle. They use an alcohol based oil, with a wick that has a stone on top-you light the stone for a minute or two, and then blow it out. The heat from the stone disperses the oil, which travels up the cotton wick. It is also supposed to purify the air.

     

    Pretty interesting, but also pretty expensive.
