Hello All! The wedding ceremony was perfect. We will be looking forward to the church wedding and reception next year. Thank you everyone for your well wishes This morning I drove into Manhattan with my older daughter for a sonogram and doctor appointment. The twins are now 2 1/2 pounds each. They are growing everyday. Yesterday I melted L3 Dreamweaver and today it’s SMT Buttery Pumpkin Cornbread. It’s not that strong. I might change that out in a bit. Enjoy the day all!

Just put a nice wedding fragrance on-Swanky Soleil Blanc Cashmere Glow Vanilla Lace. Thank you CF friend!! Have a great day all and stay safe!!

Thank you everybody!!!

Hi Ladies!! “ I must have a plan that even I don’t know about”. Yes Maggie I do the same for every season too. I still order more wax. Doesn’t matter if I can’t finish what I have. Amy-Yes this is an addiction. But we love it!! The weather here has been on the chilly side but tomorrow it will be 61 degrees. It’s crazy. Amy-Glad that you are starting to hand work over to your successor. I’m sure that’s bittersweet. Your plan to get rid of the old SGA bags is a great one. I need to get moving more on that. Today I’m melting EA Witching Hour. This is Dragon’s Blood, Coffee Grounds, Toasted Chocolate and Tobacco. The scents are all so wonderful and unique. I’m LOVING this vendor. Tomorrow my youngest daughter is getting married. It was supposed to be her big wedding day but a small immediate family only ceremony will do for now. Now year we will celebrate with a big church wedding and reception. Enjoy the rest of your day and stay safe all!

Good Morning! I hope everyone is doing well. Maggie-The sun didn't last very long at all. It turned into a very dreary day. The sun is out here now and hopefully it’s here to stay. I’m glad to hear that the CM threw for you. Susan-your Blue Sugar Sandalwood scent sounds really good. Today it’s VRC Grandma’s Kitchen. It’s Cinnamon Corn Pudding, Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, Toasted Marshmallow and Zucchini Bread. I always have way too many Fall scents. I can never seem to get through them. Every year I say I shouldn’t buy any more for awhile but I never can resist. Have a good day all and stay safe!!

Good Morning! So happy to see the sun this morning. It’s a nice day but a little crisp. Maggie-Sorry to hear your palm wax aren’t throwing. Are those the one’s from NA? The new babies can call me Grandma. I don’t have a preference. Congrats to your daughter’s friend. I love newborn babies. Nice scents Susan! Yesterday I melted VCS Pumpkin Coffee Coffee Coffee. Nice scent that lasted all day. Today it’s SB Birthday Cookies. Thanks CF friend. Have a good one everybody !!

Good Morning! I know what you mean Maggie. I’m working on using up older Halloween/Fall blends too. After Thanksgiving I start to go with Winter/Christmas blends. I don’t think I will finish them though. Yesterday I melted RM Pumpkin Frosted Animal Crackers from the Pumpkin Sampler. It was delicious. Today it’s an oldie from the VCS Pumpkin Sampler from 2 years ago - The Great Pumpkin Zombie: Pumpkin Layer Cake Cream Cheese Frosting Mac Apple Birthday Cake Whipped Cream. We are going shopping today for some baby things. It’s getting closer. Have a great Sunday everyone!!

Hello! Maggie- I have mostly Yankee Candles. Some are very very old. I also have BBW candles and a few from Gold Canyon and Village Candle. I hate those telemarketers. I have been getting a lot on my cell phone now as well. Just got back from a very nice lunch with my friend. Changed out my warmers to SMT Vanilla Hazelnut Mocha. I was finishing up the last of Destination Wax Lavender Sugar Cookies which was excellent! Enjoy the rest of your day!

Maggie-I am glad I have inspired you to put your candles in the cabinet. I am still in an organizing mood and just sorted out more candles. I have way too many and might try listing them on Ebay. My VCS Cranberry Pumpkin didn’t have much scent. Couldn’t smell a thing. Switched it out to Destination Wax Lavender Sugar Cookie and this is outstanding!!! Love this! Thank you CF friend. I am so glad I had placed an order with this vendor on Amy’s recommendation. This was in a beautiful Owl shape. I have it in 3 melters and it’s gorgeous!

Good Morning! Amy-I am glad to hear that the mouse has been caught! I am not a fan of them at all. I’m pretty sure I have TBS The Evil Dead. I need to go dig it out. Today it’s Cranberry Great Pumpkin. This is one of my last melts left from The Great Pumpkin Sampler. It’s 2 years old. Hoping it does well. It’s another gorgeous day here. It’s supposed to reach 72 degrees. Beautiful weather but it’s not Fall. I love it. Have a great day!

Good Morning! Amy-I’m glad you are only traveling 2 days this week. Susan-Good Luck with the wax reorganization. Maggie-Glad you are enjoying your 1803 wax. The wax organization is going well. I have a few candles left to find a place for and then I’m done. Today I'm melting the last of SGA Salted Caramel Pretzel Waffle Cone. I’m trying to finish up all my brittles with hardly any wax left. Have a great Monday everybody!!

Good Morning! It’s a beautiful day! I am melting Wonderberry Caramel Coffee Bread. This is Coffee Ice Cream, Salted Caramel, Toasted Marshmallow and Zucchini Bread. Have a good one!

Good Morning and Happy Friday! Hope your toe is feeling better Maggie!! Nice scents Susan. Everyone seems to be in a Bourbon mood. I have another order from Empire Alchemy arriving today and then just 4 more orders I’m waiting on. I’m really going to try clearing out wax here in 2021 with a select order here and there. Hope I can do it. Today I’m melting a gift from a CF friend- SGA Coin Wash This is Fresh Dried Laundry snd Amber. Smells good already. I’m also on a mission to get through my very many SGA chunk bags. Today and yesterday is Sisters in Pink. These are rather old so I’m putting them in a jar on a wax warmer and letting them go for a day or two. This way there’s no waste. Thanks Amy for the wonderful idea! Enjoy all!!

Good Morning! Maggie-that’s bizarre. Similar thing happened to me at the beach house this summer. A plate I had sitting on a stand on the dining room hutch just fell on the floor and shattered. This was when nobody even was around to touch it. Amy-Great memories! Yesterday I sorted through some of my wax. I organized what I had bought this summer. I don’t know what I was thinking. Goal of 2021 is to try to go through a lot of my “collection” so I can see a dent. Maybe if I limit myself to one small order here and there I can do it. Melting VCS Blueberry Great Pumpkin. It’s 2 years old and still throwing! Have a good one everybody!

Good Morning! Amy-Monday sure did start off rocky. I’m glad you are all settled in. Sorry you had a run of melts that you didn’t enjoy it happens to all of us sometimes. Today it’s VRC Butterscotch Bourbon. This is Butterscotch Brûlée, Kentucky Bourbon, and a Rich Vanilla. Whenever I melt a Bourbon scent it reminds me of when we visited the Bourbon plants in Kentucky. Fun times. Maggie- Sorry about your toe. Hope it’s feeling better. Susan- I love Woodwick Candles. Enjoy the day all!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your day. Today I’m melting from a new to me vendor-Blended With Love Bottle of Tears-Palo Santo snd Sugar Cookies. This has a very good throw. I’m smelling more Palo Santo then Sugar Cookies. Nice scent though. .

I love this title Maggie!!! It’s so true. Today I’m melting SGA Untangled. This is Hazelnut Cream Pretzels. I feel like I have been neglecting this vendor. This used to be what I melted most of the time until I went crazy ordering from so many great vendors. I hope this has a good throw because it might be 2 years old. Need to start melting my older wax. The sun is finally out. It’s been cold and rainy here. Happy Monday!

Good Morning! Hope everyone is doing well. The rain has stopped here The sun is finally out. I have a bridal shower in a tent today. I’m a little nervous. I will take my precautions and hope it goes well. Yesterday for Halloween I melted EA Headless Horseman. I am really enjoying this vendor. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. Today it’s VRC Peanut Butter Waffle Cone. PB Cookies, Vanilla, Vanilla Sugar Waffle Cone. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Good Morning! I’m trying to consolidate my wax and lessen the storage containers. This project is ongoing. I now have quite a bit of wax that I am concentrating on melting. Hope I can make a large dent, I try to melt all Fall/Halloween scents until Thanksgiving but sometimes I need to switch it up. Amy-Glad you are enjoying your Peppermint Sampler. Today is VCS Autumn in Salem. This is Pumpkin Cinnamon Sugared Donuts. It’s from 8/2018 and it’s throwing well. Upstairs I am melting ST Fake n Bake. Excellent. Enjoy your day!

Good Morning! I hope everyone is doing well. Maggie-Isn’t it funny how our nose changes? Like Amy I too notice that sometimes when the melters are on too long it affects my sinuses. Hoping it’s just because I have allergies and it adds to the problem. Melting today L3 Bluebeard. This is Blue Sugar, Pistachio and Savory Bakery. Excellent. I went through some of my stash yesterday. I pulled out some more things for my melting baskets and consolidated others. I’m going to try to work on some more today. Hope you all have a great day!

Hello Everyone! Sharon-We are turning our clocks back soon as well. It always takes me a few days to get adjusted. Maggie-I’m glad you enjoyed your camping trip. That sounded like fun. That SGA Evan sounds amazing. I think I’m starting to like melting laundry. My tastes are changing so much. Thank you for the anniversary wishes. Time sure does fly. Yesterday was EA Raven’s Brew. I loved this one. It was Hot Coffee, Cream, Leaves and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll. Overnight and still going is The Bunny Sisters Portlandia. This is woods and earth, rain, VBN, AND Merlin’s Forest. I just reordered this on Sunday not realizing I had it already. Now I’m melting from L3 The Creeper-Apples, Oats, and Cornbread. Amy-I hope you are having a good work week. Susan-Hope that you are well. Have a good day all!!

Hello! It’s been a very busy week! Chaotic week here. My son in law has been in the hospital since Wednesday with stomach issues and he’s finally feeling better and on the road to recovery. I think he might be coming home later. We finally had a memorial and a luncheon for my Dad yesterday. It has been 6 months since he passed away. We finally had some closure. It was a beautiful day. My husband and I are heading out to dinner soon. We are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary which was this past Monday. I have been melting some great wax. Right now it’s The Bunny Sisters Stranger Things. Great scent. I’m enjoying this. It’s PPW, Coffee, Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies and Cornbread. I love the Blackberry in this. Upstairs is RG American Cream. Beautiful and going almost 24 hours. I have found RG to have a great throw and long lasting. Thank you generous CF friend!! Yesterday was ST Charlie. This is Cream Soda, Pralines and Caramel Pecans. Yesterday my DH was looking for something and found a missing Sterlite shoe box of ST clamshells that I thought had disappeared. I looked for them for quite awhile. The mystery is now solved. i also melted from Bohemienne Life Mere. This was a beautiful scent. Thanks you CF friend for the introduction to another wonderful vendor. I also enjoyed VRC Raid the Fridge. I bought this in her store when Amy and I took a little road trip last year. This combo of a Mexican Fried Iced Cream, Cornbread and Caramel Mac Apples was super strong and lasted all day. Lastly was VCS Ghosts & Apparitions which was Pumpkin Cookie Monster. Wonderful! Happy Sunday!

Hello! Sharon-yes you can do it. Hope the 17 day lockdown puts the brakes on the virus. Maggie-Glad your daughter tested negative. How are you liking Little Blue Coop? Today it’s take 2 of VRC Autumn Leaves from last year’s Fall Sampler. Had to turn it off yesterday because it was just too strong. Overnight and still going is TBG Deadly Sleeping Draught. This is a lovely combination of French Lavender, White tea and Thyme essential oil. Enjoy your day!

Hi Everyone! I am back. Went to Ohio last week to check on my DH’s apartment. We ended up driving back in 2 cars because not sure when he will be working from the office again. It was a nice week. I listened to some YouTube on the way back and bit some ideas of how to get through some of my mega wax stash. It’s giving me anxiety. I have been very much on an ordering frenzy. Still waiting on quite a few orders to ship with no place to put anything. My goal for 2021 is to make a considerable dent in my wax. Sharon-I hope your lockdown is successful. Maggie-You are too funny about your hair. Amy-Where are you? We miss you here. Used to love waking up to your posts. Yesterday I melted SMT PPW, Zucchini Bread and Caramel Latte. Very good and long lasting. Overnight and still going strong is RG Goodnight Moon! What a beautiful scent! Just put on from SM-Circus Animal Stuffed Sugar Cookies. Smells great! Have a great day !

Hi All! It’s very quiet here. The VRC Driftwood lasted over 12 hours. It was really nice. Melting RG Singing in the Rain. I couldn’t find the scent description but I love it! Just a beautiful fresh smell with some floral to me. Good Night Everyone!
